Nice weekend, i feel refreshed and refurbished

Lovin

This Kid

Suddenly 30 Rock is rather funny...

finding music you bought on ITunes that you totally forgot about

today i smelt spring for the first time, Oak will smell spring in a few years, smells like warm asphalt and baseball... you all know

Do you ever 'find' a song on Itunes and then you hear it on a TV Show and you are instantly a musical genius?

I cant drink coffee lately, very little appeal. Hopefully West Graham's finest will bring me back

One solid year, it seems it was just last week, just last month, not last year, not a year ago. Certain things seem to make it seem so fresh. 

Last night I slept with the same blanket I always did when I slept under HER roof. 

The surroundings will change, the faces will be new but we all had Sunday..

Oak loves you, Grandma

Maturity

Old Soul; people say you may have an old soul. What does that mean?

My life experiences when i was younger were somewhat limited, sheltered if you may. This however may have made me an immature seventeen. The fact that the life experience the areas associated with seventeen are ones that may slow your progression in life has made me an old 24.

Catch my drift? Does that make sense? Hear what i am saying? Catch what i am pitching? 

Josephine, the names always flowed until we settled on Josephine, we knew she knew...

You all know, we were all Josephine at one point... ha 

Yes, yes i am the manager, Yes i know you have been banking here longer than i have been alive, trust me your in good hands...

 

Happy Valentines Day Mama!!!!

Seriously, what has happen. The dramatic change in a few short months. You think you get over things and move on. Nope, not one bit. One thing about loss is that it is a wound that can easily be reopened, its like having a cut right where your finger bends. 

Loss affects everyone differently, we are all witnesses to that. 

Wasnt there time to think all this through. It seems nobody knows what everyone is feeling. disconnection

Christmas and New Year

Been a while. And with these photos i think we will find out who truly checks this thing out every once in a while because there will certainly be enough to comment on. 

Christmas was a blur unfortunately, lots of traveling. We slept away from home eight nights in a row. Oak held up really well. He adjusts to everything so quickly, certainly makes life easier on us. This year brought a different feeling for me in Christmas with the loss of Grandma and the arrival of Oak, the feeling was a mix of loss and joy. It was incredibly different not having Christmas the same as it always has been for my entire life, that Christmas Eve buzz and the anticipation and the laughter that filled the air. The laughter always being associated with Grandma. But this year with that loss came a new kind of laughter one provided by Oak's Lil noises, faces and reactions to the overwhelming surroundings. I will admit that this Christmas was a lot harder than i thought it would be. New faces have come into our lives and the adjustment is not smooth by any means, but through Christ and through careful assessment of His plan i think transition will come but on every one's own terms and time frame, respecting that will be key. Holidays will always be tough but there are too many pieces of her around Oak and I for us to not know her. The people, their smiles, words and kindness can't help but rekindle all that I had with Grandma and as Oak grows he will come to know that all of us were impacted by her actions and words, and a piece of her exists in all of us. Enough so that Oak will know her without ever knowing her...
