Dad is Done Trippin

Living life
Our elders set the example
The Three Amigos
What a difference 24 hours can make.  Yesterday, we were the Three Amigos.  Today we are the Dynamic Duo truly missing our Wing Man.  What a difference 24 hours can make.  Yesterday we encouraged Dad to bravely walk the last mile of his journey.  And today we wish he could still travel just one more mile with us.  What a DIFFERENCE 24 HOURS CAN MAKE.  Yesterday, Dad was still breathing but hardly living.  And today Dad isn't breathing but truly living! We love you to eternal life Pop Pops.  Fully enjoy the family and friends you've been waiting to love on.  Watch over the loved ones left here.  Know that your legacy is secure.  I can only imagine that when you met Jesus you FINALLY told him what you've been wanting him to know for soooo long; "THANK YOU LORD".
With your beloved now
Love that will never end

The Big Chop

There comes a time in every womans life when she knows it's time for a change.  There's a subtle and discernible shift in the air around your brain where everything starts to look off.  My time came during our church fast in January.  Fasts are great times to confront LOTS of things, such as our cravings, our shortcomings and the dross that clutters up our lives.  Funny thing, my hair started feeling like part of the clutter.  On a hot day, there it was suffocating and clingy. While cleaning and cooking? There it was hanging all over the place.  Falling into my food while eating? All too common.  Then there were the constant comments and apparently hard to control urges to touch my hair by stranger after grabby stranger (without permission of course).  I started feeling like my hair could have hosted its own Facebook page and been waaaay more popular than me!  So my white roots started growing out but I had no particular plan in mind for the new growth.  Styling my hair with so

Me, Myself, and I

I have been trying to take better care of myself lately and surprise, surprise, I've been succeeding.  I think it's one of those things where you take your eyes off the ball for a season and the ball balloons up from a tennis to a basketball! Lol.  Seriously though, I think some of us are better wired to effortlessly juggle multiple responsibilities;  I didn't get that wiring.  It's the ability we all seek in life but unfortunately strive too hard to achieve.  And striving tends to be futile and unbecoming.  As a caregiver I've found that it was all too easy to make excuses about taking good care of my temple.  I could recite Romans 12:1 easily and part of me wanted to be that acceptable sacrifice.  But another self-serving part of me wanted to wallow in the seemingly overwhelming desire to stuff my feelings of frustration and fear down with food.  I just couldn't seem to get 'it' ALL done?   I can remember recently sitting in the doctors office crying a

From San Antonio to San Antonio and back again

Sometimes, you just get these crazy ideas and you think, 'why not?'  That's how it generally is when Raymond goes out of town for a class reunion or a golf outing.  I always say, "when the cats away, the mice will play", so my mind immediately constructs some fun adventure Dad and I can get into.  See, I used to sit at home and mope a bit when he'd leave.  You know, the old, 'woe is me!!, why can't I be having any fun?!?!' * cue the violins * Then, it dawned on me one day: Why AREN'T you having fun?  Fun is a CHOICE.  I flipped the script and next thing you know I've got us booked to go to San Antonio. No...the OTHER San Antonio.  You may not already know this dear reader but, I actually live in San Antonio, FLORIDA ( people who live right up the road in Tampa have never even heard of San Antonio Florida so, don't feel bad. LOL).  Anyway, I've never spent any real time in Texas so, I says to Dad, "You wanna go to the OTHER San
