Conversation from the car while garage sale-ing...

Tejan came along with me this morning... he loves to garage sale. He is getting around quite well with his walker and is walking now without pain. He managed to get in and out of the car at least six or seven times this morning and was able wander around the sales and ask for every little toy he could find...

I bought him some new videos at one sale... since he is spending quite a bit of time still on the couch, I thought he could use something new to watch.

As we were driving to the next sale and he was looking through his stack of videos, this was our conversation.

Tejan: "Auntie - thank you for these movies."

Me: "You're welcome, Tejan."

Tejan: "May God bless you!"

Me: "God has blessed me!"

Tejan: "May He bless you again. Many times!"

Honestly. How can you not love a child who is so grateful? And kind...

He challenges me.

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. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
