Where do I begin. How about today's children story time at church. It was all
about patience. The thing is. It was geared towards the children having patience when I seem to be
needing it more for myself. Kyle bought me a new lap top and it is getting the
best of me. I do like it a lot it is just figuring it out. I am not as quick as some of you out there.
I have already snapped at all my men today except Clay. I guess he has caught wind of mom's ways.
As far as patience go for me in this time of my life. I have God and I rely on him. He has been close to me this past month or so. In this down time mom and dad have been on my mind a lot. When I think of January and February I think of snow , super bowl and Mom's birthday. It has been cold and it has snowed. Just not a good snow. I don't think it is going to happen. Which is for the best. Because now I want spring and I want it now. Again...I need patience. I love my winters and the snow but it usually snows on mom's birthday and that is tomorrow. I think this is the hardest one yet. The holidays keep me pretty busy but tomorrow is just another day to most.
Last year mom wasn't really wanting to do anything big. So it was just us. And now it is just us.
What does that mean? The mom part of us may be gone but the love is still here, the gathering may
be different but the "us" is still around, the laughter we share is us, the tears that we cry are us, the hugs we give are us, because of mom and dad we are US.
And us together can handle it all.
Happy Birthday mom - we miss you so much.
So our new "US" includes our sweet little grandchild.
We - which will become more "us" shortly. We will be ready and waiting for baby Serman.
We cant wait to meet you, to hold you, to kiss on you, love you, change diapers, rock you to sleep,
play games, bake cookies, walk in the woods, pick veggies from the garden, watch you grow.
Our us is getting bigger all the time. There is always room for "us" whether you are here on earth or in heaven with God. Our Us is full of love.
