It has been forever since I have written anything on this blog I was so excited about starting, but so much has happened. Where do I start? I live in a very small town where everyone either knows everyone or we know their faces...This little town has seen so much tragic death since my last entry...Two little girls died in a house fire...One of my oldest friends father who I have known my entire life and who was also my father's classmate in high school took his life....A friend I went to high school with lost her brother and he left behind the most precious little boy and little girl...my dad's very best friend came down with a horrible illness and was just gone....much too soon....I know my father misses him cause I miss him terribly. My husband's father also died..That was devastating to us..I had grown close to him and it made me realize how i could just loose my own father...
We almost lost my aunt....almost lost another close family member....Its literally been one person after the other that has died....It has been overwhelming to say the least.... I remember another year that it seemed like alot of death, in 2001. That was the year my grandmother died but several town residents also died...Why is it like that sometimes???? It truly seems like things happen in a cycle...
But on a lighter note we have had good things happen...My husband's sister is pregnant with her second child and first son.. We are over the moon excited and our son can not wait to meet his cousin...This will be the first boy even remotely close to his age...Poor boy has been the lone ranger in the family for a while..He loves his sister who is 11 and his first cousin but she is a girl so he isn't interested in all the things she is...Two of my first cousins are going to be first time grandparents very close to the same time...Which I think is perfect cause those two grew up together...In just days we will have a little girl here and I can remember when her mama was born with the brightest head of redhair I have ever seen I hope the baby has her mother and grandmother's hair..
So all in all this year has been hard on alot of families it seems...Whether it has been health related or finacial...I know the year has been horrible on us personally finacially.....But I do have faith that God will help us thru the tough times...I have already caught a couple of breaks...now if i could just get my car fixed I would be happier...
As long as we stay healthy and our son stays healthy we will be ok....I have faith.
this picture is so peaceful to me...when i feel lost or sad all i have to do is walk outside if there is a full moon and just stare and pray....makes me feel so much better.
