A Picture is worth...

Again, I say, "there are no words"...


You can't fake these emotions!

Allison Arrives

Allison sent me this picture as she was on her way to her new place in Key West:



She titled it, "Welcome Home".

What a wonderful place for her to live....

What a wonderful place for us to visit...

What makes a Holiday?

Sometimes we celebrate holidays on Holidays. Sometimes, we just celebrate for the hell of it!

Allison and my sister arrived the day before Palm Sunday. It has been ages since my brother, sister and I were together to celebrate a holiday. So, what did I do? I filled up the house with people and proclaimed it a Holiday, "Easter"! We also celebrated Allison's 30th Birthday, which was going to happen soon thereafter anyway.

Friday, after work, I did all the food shopping. Saturday was a cooking marathon and Sunday we feasted for hours. There was enough food and drink to keep 23 people "happy" for hours!! It was so nice to see everyone huddled together - We made quite a memory.

The actual Easter Sunday was observed in quite a different manner. Four of us ate a quiet dinner and relaxed in front of the TV.

prayer

Time stands still when your child is sick. I am the mom. I should be able to make everything better - AND I CAN'T.

I now understand the meaning of the phrase, "waiting to exhale". I don't think I have taken a full breath of air since hearing the news. It is all still so surreal to me.

Thank you to all who have offered such kind words and prayers. He WILL win this battle. There are so many of us praying for him...
