Hopefully back on line for good
Sorry to have been gone so long. Actually, Mike had the computer back on line last week. It's my fault I've been neglegent in writing. I got our house decorated for Christmas (using a some of Mom's decorations) and then proceeded into a deep depression. I was not a very nice person and just didn't feel like talking w/anyone. Greg called the first of this week and helped me put some things into perspective. I'm feeling much better now but please keep all of us in your prayers this season. It was Mom's favorite time of year and we did most of our shopping together and I always found time to be w/her. She was not only my Mother but she was my best friend and there have been so many times these past weeks I wish I could have called her to talk. I know I will get through this but at times, it is really tough.
On to more cheerful things. I think I have the most loving granchildren in the world. I know Haley (the 7 year old) has the most tender heart. The school she attends (Victory Christian) had an arts/crafts show for the children to buy Christmas gifts. I went over to her school to help her shop last Monday (the kid had more money than I - mostly because I owed her almost $100 for past report cards. Yes, I pay my debts, it just takes me awhile). Anyway, she bought a few gifts and I asked her if she wanted to take the rest of her money and shop at Walmart or Dollar Tree (her two favorite stores). She agreed. Then she gets home and that night she took a $l to her mom and told her (with big tears in her eyes) that she wanted her to have this money for her Christmas because she was afraid she wouldn't be able to get her a gift. Tara told her she would be going shopping w/her Aunt T today. She got so excited. She and her Aunt T have made this an annual thing and Haley wasn't sure she was going to get to go this year. Wasn't that sweet.
Hannah has discovered Santa and is just fascinated to no end. Every time she sees a santa of any type she pats her chest and says, "Santa love me." This Christmas is going to be a good one (even of a little said). God always gives us what we need, when we need it. He has given me my children and grandchildren to help me through this (he also gave me Mike and my wonderful brothers).
Hope you day is sunny and bright - regardless of the weather.

She's back! Missed you.
There will come a time when the frequent bouts of pain over the loss of Muz will abate in their frequency. This is a time of year where are thoughts turned towards home. With our parents in Heaven my thoughts turn toward our Heavenly home.
I know it's hard but that's why God placed the other family members in your life to lift you up when you are down and think you can't face another day (your youngest Teri, I'm quite partial towards her for great strength...). It was hard for me this Christmas. While making out my Christmas card list I realized that this is the first time Muz would not be on it. I cried. Muz is just always supposed to be there...kind of like you. I love you.
