Today is Crystal's birthday .. She is 14.. Yesterday we have a huge family dinner at Granny's for her. She got lots of presents and was really surprised when she got a pearl and diamond necklace, ear rings, and ring from her parents... it was really great... She looked so happy... Her mom shaved her head in support of Crissy... That helped soo much... She goes back on Tuesday for her last round of chemo.. well at least the last round for now...Pray everything is going to be gone and ok...
My boys were all home this weekend.. It's rare that we have Brad home without his family... it started out as just harmless chit chat.. but Hank and Brad got to discussing politics... it got pretty bad... Whether I agree or not with either one of them was not the point.. as a mom I was upset that they could yell at each other like they would a stranger about whether the war in Iraq is right and if Bush has any sense in his head... They have always been a bit of rivals. The other boys call Brad my golden boy and yet.. I have never understood that.. I'm closer to them than him.... Brad and Henry are really close.. I think sometimes one of them breaths out so the other can breath in.. I tell them this.. You know we don't love one more than the other..but sometimes personality and interests will draw us closer to one person than another.. That in no way means you love them more or less.. Just different...
My son's friends are always saying.. "your mom doesn't like me.. I can tell"... How can they tell..?? do they know me that well..?? I don't think so.... I might not always agree with their friends.. or see eye to eye.. just as my boys don't.always agree on politics....but I like all my boys friends.. they have good friends because they are good boys... Right now I'm a bit troubled about one of Hank's friends... This is one that has always thought I didn't like her.. The fact is.. I love her... she is different granted but she has always been a burden on my heart.. She is different because of the life she has had... it's not her fault.. in her own way she is a precious young lady...I"m proud of her!! She is now married and about to have a child... yet I read her xanga... I read between the lines because I do know her well... from over the years... I wish I knew what was troubling her...She should be in her happiest days.. Just married expectin her first child.. yet I read a sadness or restlessness in her words.... Pray for this young lady.... I wish her only the best always... !!
I'm kinda sad myself lately.. I never had a daughter... I have had a few nieces that I feel are my own... and one sister in law that I couldn't feel closer to than if we were twins..but... no girls of my own (until I got Kaci and Kali that is)... My niece and her hubby are about to move to Hawaii..(he is air force).. He leaves Nov 15.. she will stay until after Christmas... then go over... Today at church we had a going away dinner for them.. She cried, lots of people cried... I didn't.. why?? because if I started to cry I'm not sure I would stop... So many things have been going wrong in our lives lately... if I started the walls of pretend would break and it would be worse than New Orleans!!!! Her little girl told me today.. I will be 13 before we get to move back.. the same age as Crystal.. OMG..............I don't even want to think of her kids growing up without me around to watch over them.. Hawaii is a long ways..but I just might need to go visit from time to time... Now I just have to figure out when because of school and how because of money.. any contributions can be sent to my home address thank you very much..!! LOL....
Well here is to a new week... a week full of nothing but happy hearts and pleasant thoughts.............. Start your week with Prayer and every thing else will fall into place... !!! Have a good one!!! **HUGS**
