Wondeful

That's about all I can say.


Two years ago tonight I sat in my brother's driveway still recovering from major surgery. I remember sitting there watching all of the kids come up and down trick or treating. I was thinking I will never have a little one of my own to do this with.



And now look.....

I am so blessed!

Once a student, now a teacher

Daddy taught me many of the things I know. How to drive, how to use a lawnmower, how to use a gun, how to pay bills, and so many other things.

Now that Daddy is gone it seems that the roles are reversed. I am teaching Mom so many things. Still cant get her on the riding lawnmower though:) I have helped her learn about paying bills, how to use automated phone systems (which have brought her to tears bc they are such a pain in the butt), in the process of teaching her to pump gas using the "new technological gas pumps." And the list goes on and on.

You never think about the things that someone else must learn to do until the person they depended on is gone. I am just glad that God gives me the ability to be there for her and the patience to be her teacher.

Sometimes I just wish life were "normal" again. But hey what is normal anymore?

Its like Mom says though sometimes you just need someone to listen and a hug to say its okay.
