Any cake BUT chocolate.

- September 10, 2022

My Grandmother's birthday has got to be one of the hardest days to get through since I lost her in 2001. I wrote this awhile back but with September 11th being tomorrow, I thought this might be the right time to share it. I had planned on taking Shurree' out to see Skye today. She has been asking me for a long time, to get pictures of her three kids together. I try so hard to avoid it. Nothing to do with the child. Just not something I am able to handle. Still. It was Mom's day though so I thought I would brave it out. At least attempt too. I wanted to go by my old residence as well. Bike Capital of The Northwest. Wendy's. My first job. The Redmond House. The one I will always call home. Drive up the Old Windy past Adrian's. Maybe stop by my schools? The High School. Home of The Mustangs.

Then it will be hours upon hours of opening gift after gift. Each child squealing as they get "what they want" but at the same time complaining because the other one received something far better. When I speak of this - it is my grown children I am talking about. Belly aching all the way through the day. As I woke up this morning, I guess my body thought it needed to...

Sending a Letter to Heaven

- April 27, 2024

Hello Grandma, are you there? Not to long ago, I came across an article that convinced me to "write a letter" to the person who "took my heart away" when they gained their wings. As I read it - it told me that the grieving process is much harder for some then it is for others. I believe my "story" goes into the column of (the MOST hard) as it has been. Over twenty years have escaped now since you have left me. My life never being the same from that day on. I have so many things to ask you and so much to tell you. I truly believe in Angels though and that makes me believe that you know what has been happening in my life. It is a Saturday afternoon. The rain is gently falling outside. Another beautiful Spring day here in Washington. I have been spending a lot ...
