More Sad News

Pop called last night to tell me his sister Betty has cancer. She went to the doctor because of blood in her stool. They operated yesterday, and it has spread to her liver. Apparently there is not much that can be done for her. Pop is very sad, and I am sad for him. Too much death.........

Sad, Sad Days

I guess I am going to have to get used to death again. A couple of weeks ago, a lady I worked with at a previous job went home from work on a Friday afternoon and shot herself in the heart. She was only a couple of years older than me. She left a husband, a daughter, a grandchild......why? I do not understand. I do pray she was saved and is in heaven, out of whatever misery she was suffering. Funny how you never know what is going on with people really.

Then on Wednesday morning, I got a call from another old friend. We had not talked in a pretty good while, and somehow I knew something was wrong. She was calling to tell me that the husband of another friend had died that morning. He went to work (at the Medical Center), was walking across the parking lot and felt sick. He apparently died in the ER, from a heart attack. He had just turned 53. He was already suffering with diabetes, on dialysis, but still. He left a wife, my friend, and a 14 year old son. There were 4 of us at BCBS of GA that were pregnant at the same time. I think I delivered first, in January of 94, 7 weeks early. I think Sandy was next, then Cassandra (whose husband just died), and then Leslie. I went to the funeral home yesterday after work. It was just so sad. Cassandra was holding up pretty well, and so was Cory. It just makes you feel so helpless. I know that death is part of life, and that being in heaven with Jesus and our Father will be glorious, but it still makes me feel soooo sad.

On a lighter note, we made it through the second week of school. Dylan stayed home one day....a little bit of stomach trouble. I think it was probably nerves. He has had a hard time finding his way around. I took a map they gave him and highlighted all his classes, along with his locker and the exit for getting to the bus. I think that will help.

Logan then broke his glasses. Thank God for Pop. He paid for a spare pair till we go to his appt next month. And Logan, bless his heart, is not fussing too bad about the frames. They are gold, but they don't look too bad. Logan is so cute, I don't think it would matter what the frames looked like.

Growing up and away.....


Ok, Logan and Dylan just finished their first week of HIGH SCHOOL!!! I am feeling so many different things...I am so proud of both of them. And I love them sooo much. But this week, I have really felt them growing up and away from me. I know I shouldn't feel this way. They are supposed to grow up. I want them to grow up and be strong, confident, caring young men. But a part of me misses my babies. They have defined my life for almost 15 years, and now.....I'm not sure how to explain it.....I guess I am just realizing that pretty soon they WILL be grown. They are both almost 6 ft tall already, so it feels like being with grown men. I think back to when I was in high school, and some of the insane things I did....and I want to protect them from all of that. And I know that I really can't. They will have to go through all of that themselves. I just have to pray that between my and Pop and Grandma, we have taught them the right way. And that I haven't screwed them up too bad....


The neat thing is, they are going to my old alma mater, Hardaway High School. So, I plan to take them to football games (and no, I won't make them sit with me) because that was always fun. I haven't been able to convince them to join anything yet, but maybe they will find something that interests them besides video games. Logan is taking Music Appreciation, and has already said he is enjoying it. He said he even played a little song on the piano they had. Dylan has Health this semester, but maybe he will get something better next time.

Just pray for me....that I can let them grow up gracefully, and for them....to keep them safe.

Hope

~Hope is the thing with feathers
that perches in the soul
and sings the tune
without the words
and never stops at all~
Emily Dickinson
Isn't that beautiful? I had forgotten how much I loved Emily Dickinson.
