Oak Cal Amber

Oakley just went through is first jealous weekend. Callahan's birthday, poor kids both of them had a tough time. Oak struggled with jealousy by not allowing Cal to open a gift on his own and Cal craved isolation.
It did make me want to Apologize to Josh because i know that i was Oakley in 1989. It did make me treasure there ages though. Not just their current ages but how many years apart they are. Oakley will guide Cal and Cal will be pushed to be a better man by Oak. They will fiercely compete with each other and strive for their own excellence. I would like to see Cal as a sophomore playing in the same infield as his big brother. Oakley hitting his brother in stride running a TE slant...

Oak continues to challenge me to better for his Mom and his brother. He motivates me to keep up with his personality, character and DRIVE. I value his energy.

Florida will be here soon... i walked through 3345 yesterday. I felt like a giant, the cupboard above the microwave used to be so far away, now i can almost see the tops of the boxes inside. I am going to miss the closeness, the convenience and it sucks because it wont hit me until a super cold day in January as i am suffering through another crazy sales month. And all i will need at that time is to get into the CRV and take it to the Maxx.

thanks

Open letter

Just my take - nothing more - not the answer

Every Sunday when I go to Church I lift my heart and worship and praise God. Grandmas floats into my head. Nothing triggers it, she just shows up. This letter comes from guidance

This whole situation seems like a blur to me and all of you. Remember when we would arrive for Christmas to a house packed with people not STUFF, that house was crushed with LOVE. So much so you touch it, feel it and breathe it in. Remember the scene

It has been 1365 days, just a number but I can feel every day in that number
Each night I tuck Oak into bed he wraps up in a quilt from her, from my childhood. I can feel her presence in those moments.
In those 1365... Oak and Cal have walked me through life with joy
Adriane has become a woman of grace and wisdom beyond her years
Josh has built a life a future
Kamaria has played a thousand more SkipBo games against hundreds of new opponents
Paige has found the love of her life
Kent has served his country
Khloe never got what she deserved

I know it's a lot, but how do we bring back some of those times, she was the common denominator for all of us as grand kids, she connected us and let's all stay connected somehow

Bring back the 4th
Let's fill a room with LOVE again
Merry Christmas
Love always

I will take the first step

I can't deny my desire to solve and accomplish, probably why this career fits me so well. I won't let go of a situation and move on. I want you all to know this when I'm not giving up on you

Oakley can hit a ball that is pitched to him, we practice in the garage at night.

Halloween was a success

Saturday Mornings

Lessons learned sometimes I wonder of that balance can ever be found

The fall of humanity I think maybe defined in the embracing of life because of all that pulls and detours you from His Light
