Thanksgiving

How was your Thanksgiving? Ours was good, different but good. We did not make any of our usual dishes, in fact we did not cook at all. We went to my Sil's cousins house. It was very good and very easy. The only people that were missing was, of course Dad and Steve. Steve had to work Thanksgiving night so he could not be in Thanksgiving in Wichita Falls. Dad was missed, but he is missed everyday. It is so hard knowing I will not see him again on this side of heaven. I know I will see him in heaven. God is giving me enough grace to get through each day.

Mom is doing great. She is setting small goals and working toward meeting them. Dad would be so proud of her. I know I am. She is working towards her G.E.D.

Did yall go shopping during black Friday? I didnt. I was in no mood to deal with the crowds. We bought our tree on Friday. It is very pretty. We are waiting on Lil' Jess to get home from school this afternoon to decorate it. It is hard to get in the holiday spirit but I know Dad would not want me to be sad.

Thanksgiving and other stuff bout Dad

I am trying so hard to get back to normal. I had to go to the doctor on Monday to get my self some help to sleep. I am finally feeling like a normal person again. We are making plans for our Thanksgiving. It will be very weird that Dad will not be there. His birthday is on Dec 4. Then Christmas. This is going to be such a bittersweet Christmas. It will be Lil' Jessica's first Christmas with us, but this will also be our first Christmas without Dad. Last Christmas was so bad. My sister and I fighting. I wish we would have known that was going to be his last. I wish so many things would be different.

One of these days I will post the poem I wrote and read at Dad's funeral.

I am Still Alive

Hello all. I can not believe it has been so long since I last posted. So much has happened, so many things. Well I guess first off we moved. We didnt go far but our house was having foundation issues and well we didnt want the house to fall on us. Anyways, I am now the Cubbie director for Awana. Awana is a club that reaches boys and girls with the gospel of Christ. I teach 3 and 4 year olds. It is so much fun. Sad news time, when we moved we could only have 1 animal. We kept Princess, Faith went to the Mother in Laws and Mr. Shadow went to my sisters house. We found out last Friday Faith died. She was unhappy and quit eating. My Daddy lost his battle with cancer on Oct. 17. He was at home and not alone. We know he is in such a better place and no longer suffering. He is missed and we have a huge hole in our family.
