More than a smile...he makes me proud...
 

My son who, at the still tender age of 14, is losing one of the people he loves most in the world....with compassion and understanding and strength beyond his years.

And....for the silly stuff he does to make me laugh...including today's secret mother/son handshake.

making plans

More flowers. The cutest smiley face arrangement...all yellow chrysanthemums and black pipe cleaners for the eyes and smile.

I give it 2 thumbs up and a huge Texas smile!

Talking to my grandboy, that I haven't heard from for a very long time. Knowing that he carries his Mom's spirit within him. The grace that was given me in that situation. Blessings, smiles and tears.

Getting caught up with friends/phone calls/emails after being out of town for 5 days.

every morning when she says mornin Daddi

The promise of a warm, sunny day! :)

Being right...

Hearing how she gets flustered when I tease her

My wonderful and amazingly blessed life...oh and funny silly people

Receiving word that a story of mine was accepted for publication in an anthology by an editor and publisher I haven't worked with before, and a response from another editor that I have worked with before that they are going to publish an anthology of my works! Yay!

An ex sent me a card that says "If we were in prison I'd watch your back. I would totally shiv someone if they dissed you". It makes me smile every time I see it.

Getting a package and my VA drivers licence in the mail! :cheesy:

peace amid the chaos

A 20 minute drive to come give me a hug because I was having a bad day.

Saying goodby to a great bunch of now ex-coworkers, I have known these folks for the last 12 years and it was a bit bittersweet to say the least. Its amazing the people that come and go in ones life.
