WELL MY FRIENDS....IT IS EXACTLY 12 HOURS AWAY FROM
A NEW YEAR: 2011.
LULU KELLOGG MADE ME A BEAUTIFUL NEW BANNER.
I LOVED IT AND IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY IT HAS AMY'S
NAME ON ONE
OF ITS' WINGS. THE ONLY THING IS, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO
INSTALL THESE CHANGES. SHE SENT INSTRUCTIONS BUT MYSELF
NOR MY HUSBAND COULD GET IT TO WORK........SO I TRIED TO
INSTALL IT AND I HAVE LITTLE HAIR LEFT...LOL
I HAVE THOUGHT A LOT ABOUT WHAT 2011 HOLDS AND IT
SCARES ME, IT EXCITES ME, I KNOW IT CAN'T BRING AMY BACK
TO ME, MY HUSBAND, AND OUR SON.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN ONE TO MAKE NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS...
BUT I DO JOURNAL. THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.
BALLOONS ARE ALWAYS NECESSARY FOR A PARTY.
WE ARE GOING TO CELEBRATE THE NEW YEAR AND
RETIRE THE OLD YEAR.
I THINK BALLOONS ARE FUN.
ALOT OF 2010 I FELT LIKE A STAMPEDED HORSE SCARED
BY A RATTLE SNAKE.
SINCE AMY'S DEATH...THIS MONTH, IT HAS JUST BEEN 15
MONTHS, I WAS NOT MYSELF. I CRIED ALOT. I WAS ADJUSTING
TO BEING ON 3 ANTIDEPRESSANTS, AND MY JOB WAS TRULY
TO FORCE MYSELF OUT OF BED EVERY DAY.
IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD A CHILD DIE...YOU JUST CAN'T BEGIN TO
UNDERSTAND. YOU CAN'T FEEL THE FEAR...YOU SCREAM OUT TO
GOD BEGGING UNTIL YOU ARE EXHAUSTED TO PLEASE HOLD YOUR
CHILD ONCE MORE. I HAVE HAD TO ACCEPT A LOT OF HURTFUL
THINGS BUT HAVING YOUR CHILD DIE IS THE WORST OF WORST
OF THE WORST.
OH HOW WE THROW FITS WHEN THINGS AREN'T
GOING OUR WAY.
I FELT JUST LIKE THIS CHILD WHEN I WAS JUST SO
GRIEVED.
SANDY, FROM CHATTY CRONE HAD
A NEW KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY RECENTLY.....I AM
QUITE SURE HER REHAB MADE HER FEEL LIKE WAHHHH
WAHHHHHIN. THEY SAY...NO PAIN, NO GAIN...I WOULD LOVE
TO MEET THE PERSON WHO CREATED THAT PHRASE.
THINK OF YOU EVERY DAY SANDY.
I AM SURE TIRED OF THESE EXTENSE AND VACUUM
THINGS THEY ADVERTISE FOR MEN....IF IT DID ALL THE THINGS
IT SAID, YOUR MAN WOULD HAVE TO BE REACHED BY A LADDER
AND YOU COULD FLY AROUND LIKE YOU WERE ON THE FLYING
TRAPEZE.....AND AT OUR HOUSE... THE CATS SEE A STICK LIKE
THAT, THEIR GONNA CLIMB IT.
I JUST HATE THOSE COMMERCIALS.
I HAD THE JOY TO FIND MY WAY BACK TO MY LOVE...
ART. I LOVE ALL ART AND ALL CRAFTS. I FOUND MY
WAY TO THE BLISSFULL ATC SWAP AND I LOOKED FORWARD
TO IT EACH MONTH...AND I MET BEAUTIFUL ARTISTS.
IT IS MY DESIRE TO START SOME KIND OF ART PROGRAM,
IN AMY'S NAME, FOR CHILDREN, TEENAGERS, AND ADULTS
WITH CANCER. ART HEALS, IT HELPS YOU DEAL, AND THE JOY
IT BRINGS MAKES YOU SQUEAL. ART AND PET THERAPY ARE
MAJOR HEALERS OF YOUR SOUL....WELL, NEXT TO ONLY JESUS.
I HAVE MADE SO MANY FRIENDS, I WOULD BE AFRAID
I MIGHT LEAVE SOMEONE OUT. I WILL NAME A FEW....
I REPEAT...THIS IS JUST A FEW....
