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.”

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...

They say to not fear death....Untethered Soul

CHAPTER 17 Contemplating death It is truly a great cosmic paradox that one of the best teachers in all of _ life turns out to be death. No person or situation could ever teach you as much as death has to teach you. While someone could tell you that you are not your body, death shows you. While someone could remind you of the insignificance of the things that you cling to, death takes them all away in a second. While people can teach you that men and women of all races are equal and that there is no difference between the rich and the poor, death instantly makes us all the same. The question is, are you going to wait until that last moment to let death be your teacher? The mere possibility of death has the power to teach us at any moment. A wise person realizes that at any moment they may breathe out, and the breath may not come back in. It could happen any time, in any place, and your last breath is gone. You have to learn from this. A wise being completely and totally embraces the rea...
