Uncles
The electricity was on and everything was fun otherwise, so I couldn’t understand why I had no internet last night. It worked fine until nearly 4 pm. Then when I returned from Mom’s flower shopping spree and eating it was as if the Wi-Fi was unplugged. How ironic to use that word, since it was…

Care Taking
Today I walked past a bathroom stall. Memories from over three years ago came to mind. There are times when taking care of the ones you love can be difficult. Isn’t that what family does for family though? Love is a verb. Taking care of the ones who took care of you as a child…

Facebook Memories…
Over the previous week a few of my past posts have been showing up on my notifications. I have mentioned one of the posts a couple days ago. Today we knew we had to say goodbye to my Uncle Mike. The timing has been like a sucker punch to the gut with my Aunt’s passing…

Thoughts of Peach Flowers
These are all photos of one Rose. One of the roses pulled from Aunt Carol’s flowers above her casket. I love the color of this flower. Different angles and lighting give it some nuances in each photo. Like Aunt Carol did. I didn’t realize how similar we were. I did know she liked to cook…

Second “Wedding Shower” Photo
When I took these photos I missed one of the cards that was still in the envelope Grandma wrote on. This is the invite to the ‘Wedding Shower’ at Grandma’s Church. There’s a lot of gifts on that table. My parents both have better cursive writing than I do. Looking through these pieces of history…

Coping Emotionally
This fuzzy photo is how my brain feels this afternoon. I haven’t cried all of my emotions out fully and yet knowing where she is has been the key. Not to say I don’t feel emotionally exhausted as I know my family feels in a much worse way. The past 48 hours have been such…

Play Time: Unhinged
Do you ever get somewhere and have this perceived idea of what’s going to happen only to be surprised? This afternoon three little girls piled into our backseat when we believed only one was coming with us. Isn’t that quite a jolt, usually? Yeah that was just the beginning of a long evening. As I…

Blowing Us Away
Monday morning Mom and I walked as usual. Then the rest of the day was blown to the wind. Out of the blue I decided this time I would go with my parents to Grandma’s I hadn’t felt good for a few weeks staying away for a while. Also thinking I personally didn’t need to…
