Tuesday

There is country song with the main line of "but most of all, I miss my friend". Although in this case it is my mother it seems to describe today well. I have survived some 40 Tuesdays since that super crappy one (to say it nicely), mostly with the help of my rockin friend Nancy. Today after a morning of "no's" from Maxx and mischief from Titan all the things that are great in my life seem small next to the fact that it's still real, she is still gone, and of all the things I miss today, most of all I miss my friend.


Hopefully Wednesday comes quickly. :)

That picture knocked the air out of my body.

I miss my "friend/aunt" terribly too.

Claar, I can't even imagine the void you have without her.

The terrible Tues.

Love you~J

That post makes me sad..and thoughtful...about how great your mom was all at the same time. I was organizing some things the other day and I came across her obituary and funeral program. It seems like a really mean joke when I just look at it, but then I remember how phenomenal she is, and how much I learned from her, and it turned into a good memory.

Dearest Claar:

The moment I saw your wedding "Daughter and Mom" photo, I lost it. I recall that sweet day so well. That was the day Janin introduced me to Sarah.

Was there ever a twinkle in the eyes, a delighted giggle that matched Janin's? I know you hear it echoing back to you every day, just as I do. I feel her kiss on my cheek and her arms around my shoulders.

That's such a beautiful picture! Pretty mom, pretty daughter :) You do remind me of your mom - both so fun spirited! I hope things get better, even though you'll always miss her.

I remember that day and how beautiful you both looked. Can't imagine the void in your heart. I am so sorry.

Don't ever think for a moment that she is unaware of your thoughts, feelings and day to day events. If anyone is aware of them... she most definitely is!

Happy Birthday, Randy.
I know. I know. I know. Words don't
suffice. The temporary release of bawling is about all that keeps one from falling off the edge.

CLAAR: So neat to share the lovely little boy antics and growing brotherhood bond of Maxx and Titan.

Hug your Dad. Did y'all get to the Valentine Dance?

Look at those amazing boys: They reflect Janin's caresses and kisses, her hands-on caring for them every.
