  In less than 48 hours three of our loved ones will be on my High School grounds for Funerals and Celebration of Lives. A week prior to this we lost Uncle Dick and just a few days ago another Dugger family lost a daughter. Plus a current Dugger student lost his life days after Uncle…

• A Bad Night and Rocky Morning

  Who would have thought one phone conversation could create such discontent? Yesterday was a long day after an exhausting emotional weekend. Plus we keep hearing about more deaths. I had a couple back and forth messages between my cousin about 4 deaths within the past 3 weeks. Then yesterday after we got to Aunt Helen’s…

• My Thoughts This Very Sad Sunday

  This past week had been a good week. Monday and Tuesday we said our earthly goodbye to my Great-Great Uncle Dick who had already been reunited with loved ones and who finally got to meet Christ. It was sad only because we are left behind, he no longer deals with pain or tears. We even…

• Cemeteries… A Peaceful Solitude

  Heading back to the Cemetery this morning almost always feels good. It means exercise time and about half of the time we can say it is actually peaceful. I guess we have to have a reason to pay the mowers right! There are times they beat us and vice versa. Today once again they beat…

• Saying Goodbye For Now

  This morning I have to admit I was a bit irritated. I got up early and was ready to walk by 7 am. Mom had taken off with my brother to get milk so I got a little flustered by this when we have been trying to get up early to walk and today was…

• Fleeing For Our Lives…

  Mom and I enjoy walking. Thankfully we have gotten back up to a half an hour routine. Of course we do walk in the local cemetery. I have mentioned before it is where a lot of family and friends stones are standing tall. The reason we walk there is because it’s really just a nice…

• Take Advantage Of Your Time

  One week ago we had a little birthday party for my Great-Great Uncle Dick. There was a special voice of God directing Mom and possibly Great Aunt Helen about last Wednesday. They were determined to spend time with him for his birthday. Thank God we did! This morning Aunt Helen couldn’t get a hold of…

• Fiery, Passionate Love

  Last year I wrote out my feelings about my nieces birthday and motherhood or lack of experience being a mother. Becoming an Aunt was an experience though and I went through all of that in this article from a year ago. Today is slightly different. Have you noticed something about recent crimes lately. The victims…

• A Musical Voice For Americans

  Earlier this morning I caught one of the many patriotic songs of a beloved musician and hero. There are a top ten list of his songs that are theme songs for the military and Veterans as well as their families. These musical albums are priceless. His death was in March, but I still feel his…

  Growing up in my family we got together and celebrated this holiday in true form. We also had three birthdays to add to this celebration most years.
