Random Thought

With Mom now gone, who is going to get the knots out of my necklace chain? This was something she alway did....sitting patiently with a needle or pin, working them out.

Let's get it all in in a Year

WOW. It has been a long time since I've posted. My dot points may seem absurd, and hard to believe they have all happened since my last post.

• Mom was cleared after her cancer treatment.



• Christmas came and cancer was back and she re-entered treatment.



• I picked up my wedding dress.



• We put the house on the market, and fell in love with 1 and then 2 houses that got away.



• Mom was declared in remission, but had heart issues and then serious of strokes.



• She made it to the wedding with my father, a home care nurse and lots of equipment.



• I did get married on April 30. The rain held off. The garden looked beautiful. The party was awesome, and we are happy. We were told it was one of the best weddings ever in terms of fun.



• We did the Mother's Day Tea, a kindergarten ritual with mom's and their kindergartners. We went for a fancy dinner, had our pictures take in the decorated gym. The little ones served us dessert and tea or lemonade, and put on a very precious program.



• We had a contract on our house, and put in an offer on another house.



• Mom went back into the hospital. Her cancer was back. All over.



• Both contracts blew up over the inspection on one and financial issues on the other.



• We pulled out of both deals and I yanked the sign out of the yard.



• I went to visit mom, who came home with hospice Friday of Memorial Day weekend.



• Jackson finished kindergarten June 1.



• Mom died June 3.



• We bought a new truck June 10.



• I turned 40 June 14.



• Yesterday I learned Jackson's aunt may want to buy the house WE want to buy.



• Today the landscapers came to clean up my forest of a lawn.



• Monday the mold/asbestos guy comes to help me "remediate" said issues.



• I hope to get the sign back in the yard by Friday.

So that is my life. In a nutshell.

The Annunciation?

Mommy, Did God tell you I was in your tummy? Kind of like he
told Mary Jesus was in her tummy?

Um, no, Buddy. It wasn't quite like that.
