Days Go By

The days go by with less teary moments now. I do think about Dad alot, but I usually can do that without tearing up. I have conversations with him about things. I ask for guidance on things. I wait and listen for his influence in my values to answer the questions. Thankfully, what his response would be to a question is usually there in my brain somewhere, just waiting to be called up!

I'm getting more and more excited about Shelley and Stephen's adoption. I have a new adoption Tshirt from Gladney Adoption Center..I wear it proudly. I try to remember to pray for all those birthmoms out there who battle with decisions on what to do with their babies. I hope my prayers make it to their hearts and they make the right decisions.

SB2K10 is just around the corner. We leave Friday for Ft. Lauderdale and a cruise on the Costa Atlantica. Dennis and I need 7 days to reconnect....grief has been an evil hinderance to our relationship. Getting away and letting go of "taking care of my mom" is exactly what I need to do. My Dad always preached about married couples getting away and reconnecting. I know now exactly what he meant.

Hayden continues to be a high point in my life. That little boy is so wonderful to be around. His smile heals sad hearts and he doesn't even know it!

I've been on a cleaning/organizing mission at the Pearland house. Things are looking better. I still need to tackle the Master Closet! It's a dumping ground for misc.!

I'm busy working on memorizing the narration for this year's Chorale Maundy Thursday program at church. I really love participating, it's just hard to fit all the rehearsals into my schedule.

Days go by....my world's just a bit more lonely.
