Mom, You're Pretty


Hey Babe!

 I was outside watering dead spots on the lawn while Joshua was in the pool.  He was waiting patiently for me to be through with the hose so he could play with it. 

"Are you done?" He asked over and over again. 

"Almost" I kept answering but also kept finding dry spots. 

"Mom!" He calls out to me in a different tone, but demanding my attention. 

"Almost." I repeat, in the "mother tone." 

"No, mom. It's not that." He says in frustration.

I turn to face him. His little face, smashed with goggles and a nose plug, is bobbing out of the deep end. 

"You're pretty." He says. 

"What?" I wasn't expecting that!  

"I wasn't asking about the hose." He confesses.  "I was saying you're pretty. "

This reminded me of you. I'm in no way pretty today but he saw something pretty as he watched me water the lawn in my pajamas in the middle of the day. 

That's when you'd always compliment me too. When I'm a hot mess. He is your child. Do you want to see what he was looking at?? πŸ˜†

Thanks for loving me in all my glory Sam and thanks for passing in on to Joshua. πŸ˜‡

Cause of Death

  Babe!   What the heck?!   I picked up your Autopsy and Toxicology  report yesterday.    Cardiovascular disease?? Myocardial fibrosis?? Pulmonary edema???   How is that real? How does that equal this: How does this make sense? We get this report πŸ‘†saying your  biological age is 11.7 years younger than your calendar age and then 10 days later you are gone?! The only time I ever heard you mention something about your heart was a week before you died !  We talked about the surprising blood results concerning your heart and I asked you if you felt any of it.   You said: "No" with a mouthful of spinach. You admitted your heart hurt recently because we were fighting.  "Being distant from you has been really hard on me." You said.  "My heart hurt a lot." I thought you were being dramatic! πŸ™„πŸ€―πŸ₯°. You said you were sure the next round of blood results in July would be better because we were better.   The only red flag w...

Hobi Notes

                                                                  Hey Teach! Nice Pic! πŸ€“πŸ˜ Caroline dropped off the remainder of your personal belongings and your school photos at home today.  These new piles of you were kind of rude to show up here full of your personality.  Especially your Ironman bag.   Ugh!  Sent me to tears.  I've seen you carry that bag in and out of this house so many times I almost expected to see you walk in the door. I haven't touched it.  It's still sitting in the entry.    Inside the box is a depiction of your brain:  calculator, chargers, books, timers and ...a ball of yarn...??πŸ™„. sounds about right! πŸ˜†  (Joshua loves your timers -removed before the pic- he is trying to race around the backyard before they go off, and Jadon loves the ...
