Keith’s 40th

Today is Keith’s 40th birthday.  He starts a new generation today.  The last generation has had some of the biggest bumps and bruises he’s had in his life.  Those bumps and bruises have slowly been healing but they will never go away.

We both continue to live our lives on a path neither one could have expected or wanted yet here we both are anyway.  I like to tell people, “It is what it is.”  What I mean by this is can I do anything about the path that has been laid before me?  No I can’t.  However, . . . → Click Here To Read More: Keith’s 40th

Justin Bieber

December 22

Today ended up starting as a good day.  I felt good about it.  I went to work like I normally do.  I was putting away my freight and I had these Justin Bieber backpacks I was putting out.  As I am putting them out I start to think of my dearest friend Shelly’s daughter Lexi.  Shelly tells me how much Lexi loves Justin Bieber.

Then I got to thinking about how Mari would be the same age as Lexi.  Not that Mari would have ever gotten into Just Bieber or anything.  It’s just the thought that . . . → Click Here To Read More: Justin Bieber

Driving…

I sit here in our car driving. Today is December 29th. For most people it is just an average day. For some it even brings the special privilege of being their birthday.

This day has always brought about special memories for us. Howeve now it just brings sadness and tears to my eyes.

Today Mari would have turned 11.

I was getting so frustrated with drivers and yelling at them over stupid stuff. Then the tears just started to come down. I had to pull over with the ache that is there in my heart.

6 months have come and gone

Sometimes I just sit here and wonder how this could be. I mean a year ago at this time we had just moved into our new home. Keith had finally gotten his orders for the Oak Lawn recruiting station to become a station commander there. We were getting ready to have both Keith’s and Mari’s 8th birthday party together here in the next couple of weeks. She was in her new . . . → Click Here To Read More: 6 months have come and gone
