Ace’s first piece of mail

Image
You sent Ace his very first piece of mail. I put it somewhere and now I can’t find it and I’m so sad. I remember specifically saving even the envelope because it was your gorgeous cursive writing and it was official. Lol. I’m hoping it turns up at Christmas because I can picture it and it was a red envelope. I don’t know why but I have everyone’s first birthday card to him but not yours. So odd. Greeting cards are special to you so I know you MUST have given him one. I hope that turns up too. I did find a few I saved that you wrote to me. I thank you so much for how you love me/us. Thank you..... mother dahling (lol) Love always, Lisa Ps Today while Bobby was over Ace just wanted him to hold him. While we both thought it was sweet I can hear you saying, “he’s spoiled....he’s always held. You’ll be sorry when you can’t peel him off of your leg going into kindergarten.”

Falling

In some alternate reality, I am just sitting here with my windows open as the city quiets down and folks on the beast coast enjoy a nice fall night. Someone has a fire pit going in the town and the smoke seems to travel well here. I am pulled back to The Can, to The Biscuit. The smell of dried burning leaves and the world quieting down. Now, maybe more than ever, I know that peace and happiness are so much more valuable than debates and criticism. Somewhere we got caught in the blur of life. I blame technology. Ha. I think about what you would be doing. A relaxing Sunday of visits, a pot of gravy with some ravs, maybe a roast and some veggies. A call to ask me if I want to stop by for dinner. How I thought those invites would never end. How I value your cooked meals filling my belly with nutrients and love and the simple fact you just liked having us over, just liked company. Just liked people. I think about you taking your boxes of fall and Halloween stuff out. I can imagine those tin...

Another day....I miss the past

Hi Mom, I wish I could just call you up and talk to you....hell...I would drive to middle of the earth if you were there. I saw so many signs you've been around me since Dad passed. I oftened wondered if you were at Lisa's the last 3 mos. I didn't know. He is no longer suffering. No longer in pain. As sad as his passing was, the fact he is no longer in pain, struggling to do the most minimal of human tasks, brings me peace. As I shook hands and hugged so many people that loved both of you, I wondered how you would've felt if you were still with us. I felt like you were in line with us. I felt it many times. Hugging so many people. Theresa, Regina, Lucy, Donna, Colleen, Bob Johnston....so many people who knew our family. It was both heart breaking....and heart mending. I longed for those pure days on 988. I said that to Bob. We sure did have a great group of people. I just thought a lot about so much time...on that street.  I think everyone who put effort into making the...
