I know the timing of this is not great what with the funeral up in our faces and all...but I needed a bit of a mental break. Here's my girls at Halloween. Or Fall Festival if you don't do Halloween.
This is Rachel as Snow White. She wanted glass slippers and was so upset she had to wear "plain shoes."
And here's our pink poodle who is trying out a sucker for the very first time. To say she enjoyed it is almost a misnomer. She LOVED her some sucker.
The next day, dear hubby gave her another.
She decided to share with her "babe-eee".
Okay my brain feels better at focusing on something unimportant. Thank you for sharing in my silliness. :-)
So I'm looking for an email address on your blog and I don't see one. This just to say that I love re-discovering your blog this week. It is a sweet joy to hear your voice again, even in writing. I snuck into the back of your mom-in-laws funeral today. What a dear, sweet, wonderful woman it sounded like she was. I didn't expect to see you but from a distance, but wanted you to know I've prayed for you and your family today. And your girls are PRECIOUS.
ReplyDeleteWow Em, thanks! I did see you from the back as we were in the family car getting ready to go to the cemetary. Eddie said he saw you from a distance but couldn't look at you for the tears. So sweet of you to come. Thank you. I know you must be so busy and to take time to come to the funeral was very thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteWe are still reeling from this loss. We knew it was coming but it still seems so very fast and completely not fair. I hate death. And cancer. I hate the enemy more. Nothing is off limits to him and no timing is inappropriate. Makes me very angry. I hate it most for my girls; one who will have NO memories and one who will have fuzzy memories.
Anyway, my email is the same as always...I'll try and figure out how to put it on here if you need to get back in contact with me. Or I'm in the book. Thanks again. So nice of you to show your support and condolences.
Oh Jody - the girls are adorable. Where on earth did you find Carly's poodle costume? Of course Meghan as Snow White also. After losing Mike's mom, I know how it feels to just want to find something to distract you even for a moment. After the funeral, you are so drained mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. To find something, anything that gives you a "break" is something to be treasured. - robn
