Meet my fish, Felix. His bowl is a mess. Or as they’d say down here in the South- A hot mess.Five things on my mind:
1. Getting Felix’s bowl cleaned up.
2. Tyler is turning 10 in 2010! Birthday party ideas are waiting to burst outta me!
3. Perhaps I shouldn’t have ate so many black beans and rice for lunch.
4. Cleaning up and reorganizing that needs to be done.
5. Thom and his Mom.
What’s on your mind today?
My family is on my mind
1)Of My Uncle Tom, who committed suicide last weekend. His memorial was this Saturday. Eternal rest grant unto Tommy, Oh Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him.
2) Of My Dad Dan, who is grieving his baby brother…the tearful goodbye tribute he shared at the memorial will never be forgotten
3) Of My Grandma Ann who feels like she failed her baby boy. She said she has 7 wonderful children—but she used to have 8 wonderful children. Now she has a black hole where her son Tom used to be. I've buried a child and while our situations are quite different, my heart knows her loss.My heart aches because I know the guilty feeling of a mother left behind.
4)Of My Uncle Tim, Tom's twin brother. I simply cannot imagine the loss of a twin.
5)Of my Uncle Scott, who remembers his last words to his brother were words of anger. I wish him peace.
Melly, I am so sorry for your loss…and I wish for peace for your heavy heart.
I didn't read this until late so I will talk with you Tuesday.
Love you, my friend.
