Letters from the Heart


How do I say goodbye to my mom. How can I do that and not hurt? Memories keep coming to me and I laugh or I cry mostly I cry. I cry because I didn’t write down that favorite recipe she always made when we came home. I cry because I should have had more patience with her. I cry because I won’t be able to sit and have tea with her. Ever. Never again. I cry for myself. I cry for my brothers. I cry for my children and their children. How do I make this hurt any less than it does? How do I make the tears stop flowing? Is there a way to make them stop? Maybe laughter. Maybe that is the way. Remember the good times. Remember hotdog soup. Remember frying pans knocking someone out. Remember the car rides to grandmas house. Remember the summer trips. Laughing helps but not for long.
Family around me will be sure to help. Getting together and celebrating her. That will help. I now know that nothing will help. I think this hurt will last the rest of my life. I don’t want this. I want my mom. There was so much left unsaid. So much stuff to continue to do. Why now. Why not next year. Why not in 2 years. My heart won’t be whole again. Not ever.
Will these tears ever stop? Will I be able to think of my mom and remember her without the tears ?
She is way to young to go. She had more to do.
Copd sucks.




Sometimes I just want to pick up the phone and call you. Those are the times that I look at my phone and remember. I wish you were still here. I wish I could just talk to you for a mi Ute, although it wouldn’t be enough. Even if I had you for another year. That wouldn’t be enough. I am thankful for you mom. I am thankful for the lessons you have taught me. Even the ones that were hard to teach. I know that I didn’t always make it easy.

Alot has happened in the last two months. First let me start with Sarah and her DEBUT singing. She is in a class where they learn from music and they put show on. She loves singing (I have no idea where she got that just kidding). I knew she could sing but I didn't really know she could really sing. I was sitting in the audience that first night of the show all proud but when she got up to sing the last song of the night I was BLOWN AWAY! She had me speechless. I hope she makes you speechless as well. This class is really a nice class. She has alot of friends in the class. I have been given glances into the woman Sarah is becoming and it takes my breath away. Wow is all I can say! It doesn't look like the video is going to work tonight so I will have to do it tom. after I get home from work. Wish it would save! I was going to put up one of Noah as well but I guess I will have to do it tom as well. He got to sing at Church with the Adult choir. He sang Away in a Manger verses 1 ...

Cheering 101

I hope you enjoyed the video. I went to Sarah's game this past Saturday to watch her cheer. She did good and you could hear her even when she turned around. This being her first year cheering for football she seems very interested in it. Who knows she might just be a fan soon! Okay Uncles.... she doesn't have one team she likes yet, so recruit her for your team. Uncle Teddy I think she Might be leaning to the Cowboys because her friend likes them. You just never know!

So Much Time HA

I thought, as I always do, that once the kids are back in school I would have spare time on my hands. Well this year has been no different than the other years. No time. Laundry, cooking (I cook when Mike isn't home), cleaning, cleaning and more CLEANING. I hate cleaning. It would be easier if the people living in my house would put their things away when they are done with it but they don't. So there fore I must clean up after them. I think I should count my blessings as I have quite a few. One of which I don't HAVE to work. I think I might like to work but I don't have to atleast not yet. I have to say I love my Longaberger business. It is very fun to go out and make a few new friends and make some extra money. So if any of you would like to have a show I will travel! I should tell you that I did take a bustrip to Ohio in September. We had a ball. Ike came across Ohio and killed the electricity at the hotel for a few hours. It was funny eating by candle light. I was g...
