Off he goes...

I'm putting this handsome young man on a plane today.

All by himself.

It's only an hour flight.

He's ten years old, and has told me NUMEROUS times "I can handle it, Mom."

But he's just a baby...

Take good care of him, Steve and Lorraine.

Don't let him sit in front of a screen the whole time.

He is used to a snack at 10:00 and 3:00.

If he gets a headache, he can take one ibuprofin.

He's really really funny - but if you let him know it, he'll repeat whatever he did to make you laugh eight thousand times.

You've been warned.

    It's a scary world out there when they begin to stretch their wings isn't it ...
    Don't worry our prayers will travel with him :)
    Love you
    G'ma (Mom)

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well.
