Life

Well my last post I was so ready to keep to my New Year's Resolution of managing this blog better. It seems so long ago now. My mom called me at 1am on Ash Wednesday to take my Dad to the hospital. My dad died in the backseat of our car. I have never seen anyone die before, much less someone so close to me. I felt like (and still do on occassion) I was swallowed whole into an abyss of neverending sadness. I didn't think that I would make it thru the wake or the funeral, but I did. This is a picture of my dad, and Ramona on Christmas day, just before we had to put Ramona down. Growing up my father was always there for me, cheering me on.He was an avid HAM radio operator, and loved to build models. He taught us kids everything he could. From home inprovement to History. Deal Sharing Aunt will not be the same, for awhile, but I am goin to try to ease back into the swing of things. I haven't been shopping, but I was able to use up alot of my stockpile, especially after the eatting out of your pantry challenge.

To those of you who came to the wake and funeral, thank you. Your support and kindness is greatly appreciated. I also want to say that I am so proudof my mom for being so strong. I love you mom! more then words can ever say!
