Rough Couple Days

I'm having a few rough days, nothing I won't get over....

 

Had a very Nice Thanksgiving. All the bakind done ahead of time and no last minute rushing.

Bill had asked to go with us... :):) His mom and step-dad went on to Laura's, Bear's moms.

 

So we had Bill all ThanksGiving Day and he spent the night. A great time for all 3 of us, catching up and just special quality time with a 14 year old...

 

Novemeber 26th is a day of remembering and reflection for me. My son Aaron died when he was 6... this is his birthday and he would have been 41. So I g et through the day.. and it is ok.. and life goes on and I am thankful for the gift of my daughter, step-children and grandchildre. I am Thankful to watch them grow. and always ask Aaron to watch over them.

 

I cooked a 12 lb turkey for us on Sunday. So left overs. and made Turkey tetrazzini yesterday. I made one for Tracy's family .. and 3 small ones. (one for each of our employees) and of course one for us. Tracy and Bear had Dr appointments yesterday. Tracy's post op went well and bear's check up also. So they have turkey tetrazzini for tonight. :)

 

The CPS and my right shoulder have been acting up.. it is getting cold, so that could be a factor. Last night was the first night I slep most of the night through, not waking up in pain. So maybe a few nights rest is what I need.

 

John's business has been a little slow this month, and I know he is stressing.. so of course I do too.

I keep trying to put my concerns in God's hands, but it is hard to let go...completely. I am trying, and He always comes thru..

 

There is a poem .. I will try to find. about giving your worries to God, but you have to let go...

 

It is chilly and some snow and or freezing rain predicted for the weekend, but today is a beautiful sunny day.. maybe i just needed some sun..lol

 

On a Happy/Funny note.

 

Bill LOVES my cooking.. I taught his mom to cook, and she has MY recipes.... but he said Grandma, can you tell mom what you do, I said honey, she has all my recipes and I taught her to cook, so it should be the same.. lol maybe she needs a little more "dash" of love in it.

 

I posted a photo of John (grandpa) and Bill in the Gallery

most of you know he is 14 wears a 17 shoe, is 6'5" and 227 lbs. He is on the High School Football team, he went to the football dinner and received an engraved key chain for not missing any practice or games. He will be starting track and other sports in the Spring.

Bonnie,

 

Glad your Thanksgiving went ok. Sorry about your "blues" - I'm sure Aaron watches over all of you each and every day 24/7.

 

That's quite an honor from Bill regarding your cooking. Glad to hear Tracy and Bear's doc appointments went well. I'm sure the business will pick up - it's only natural to have concerns though.

Bonnie, the anniversaries, birthdays etc are reminders of our lost loved ones, we grieve a little every year and that is as it should be. We wouldn't want to forget the ties that bound us together.

 

I know you will bounce back from this but a day on the pity pot or a downer day just shows you are part of the human race. Glad you had Bill there to remind you that life goes on. He seems to have a great empathy and that is good for both of you.

 

(((Hugs))) from Sue.

I second Sue's thoughts, loosing child is hard but I like to think they are at the better place right now and not in pain, and watching over us as angels. I too don't understand why these things happen, but I am thankful that God gave us great strength to get throug it and enjoy all of our other blessings. It's so cool Bill loves your cooking, my kido stil thinks I am the best cook.

 

an praying bysiness will pick up to relieve both of you from unnecessary stress. I like to believe do your best and rest leave it on God.

bonnie,

i am sorry to hear you have been having some rough,blue days. i do believe that the anniversary of a loss can make everyday events harder. i am sorry to learn of the loss of your son. it is wonderful that you have the love of other children but we know that each child is special to us.

i love it that bill is into your cooking. for years my sister and i tried to make soup taste like our mother's. she had a real knack for soup making and we finally decided that the secret was in her fingers.

hope your business worries cease soon and your shoulder pain eases. kathy
