Richie's First Tee ball Game :)

Ok, so Richie started Tee Ball about 3 weeks ago. Today was the parade and ceremony to kick off the start of the games. His first game was right afterwards. Very cute. Oh, something very neat is, first off..his team is "The Yankees" which is his favorite team and his favorite player is Roger Maris..guess whose number he got on his uniform, #9, Roger M. was #9. All by chance. I find that very cool!

April 5, 1982

The day Dad died. 26 years ago and that date still sticks out. Always will, as so many other dates for the same reason. Back is killing me so bad, 4th day now. Blahh!!!!

So Yesterday I took the kids to Mc'D's after school and while in the Drive Thru I look in my rear view mirror and notice Ashlee is crying. I ask her why she is crying and she won't answer me. Instead Richie answers for her saying that she is sad and misses Grandpa. Now we used to take them to Mc D's with the playground inside pretty often. That was some good one on one time. We would stay for almost 3 hours. So they both miss him. The same for Granny Nanny. That just breaks my heart, not only do I miss him but they do also, they just don't speak about it often. I try to keep that open for conversation at all times. I just wish they had grandparents. Aunt Suzie has been funky lately...Uncle Lance has to find a girl lol and have some offspring already!!!!!!

999 999 9999

I just got a call from the other side. Phone rings, caller ID said 999 999 9999. I pick it up and dead air. Nothing. Hi Mom, or Dad...Gram, Gramps? Keep it coming!!

Happy Birthday Gram and Happy Anniversary Gram and Gramps

We did not know that morning,that God would call your name.In life we loved you dearly,and in death it is still the same.It broke our hearts to lose youbut you did not go alone;for part of us went with youthe day God called you home.You left us full of memoriesand thoughts of you are still our guide;although we can no longer see you,you are always at our side.Even though our chain is brokenand nothing seems the same;someday God will call on usand the chain will link again

Yesterday was 1 year since Gramps died at the same hospital as Nan as a matter of fact. I wonder if he will help her up there?

I miss him and Mom so much and Gram of course.

I am trying not to expect too much on Tuesday with Kim the happy Medium but I do hope I get a good reading. I look at it like maybe a conversation that I long for with them.

I miss talking to them so much!!!

I hope they "talk" to me lol we'll see.

Rest in Peace Nan

I am sad for Jenine. The family is losing a great member to their family as I type. I have known her as long as I known you Jenine and she will be missed so much. I know you're hurting Jen and you know I am here for you whenever you need!! I just wish I could take away the hurt because I know how bad it does hurt. I guess it's a part of life that we all have to feel. It sucks. Now she will be at Peace and move onto her next phase.

SAFELY HOME
I am home in Heaven, dear ones;Oh so happy and so bright!There is perfect joy and beautyIn this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,Every restless tossing passed;I am now at peace forever,Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmlyTrod the valley of the shade?Oh, but Jesus'love illuminedEvery dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me In that way so hard to tread;And with Jesus' arm to lean on,Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,For I love you dearly still,Try to look beyond earth's shadows,Pray to trust our Father's will.
There is work still waiting for you,So you must not idly stand;Do it now, while life remains,You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,He will gently call you Home;Oh, the rapture of that meeting,Oh, the joy to see you come!
