No Title, Mind Blank

I have been trying to do an entry now for a couple days. I would start it and just click out of it. My heart has just not been into it. Sunday night was so hard for me. My brother in law and his oldest daughter were sitting and the pain and hurt on their faces nearly ripped my heart out. I wish I could make this all go away and bring my sister back to them. Susie was so beautiful, and looked so peaceful. Her hair was so pretty and so soft. She looked like the angel I know she is. So many people came and paid their respects. Susie was loved by everyone there.

Jim and I and my daughter Emma and her husband Dan and Adrianna first went to my sister Helen's. There she cooked a nice dinner of grilled London broil, peas and a homemade pasta salad. It was very good. I loved her pasta salad and the next time I make it I am using her recipe.

Helen rode with us to the viewing. After we left we went back to Helen's for coffee and cakes. Gotta love those Little Debbies oatmeal and cream sandwich cookies, lol. We all sat and chatted for a bit, then we left to come home. Rebecca was ready for bed when we picked her up. Poor thing was so tired. She was asleep before I even had her covers on her. Tonight my child tells me, Mommy Aunt Susie is in the stone yard right? And I say yes, why? She says, cause her soul went to heaven and now she sleeps with the angels. I had to fight back the tears so I didn't upset her.

Today I kept my grandson for the day. He's not feeling very well and wanted his mommom. Tonight Dan had to call me so I could say good night Daniel because he was crying and wanted me to come tuck him in. He loves his mommom. I took some pics of Daniel and Rebecca playing, but I haven't downloaded them yet. When I do I will post them. Tomorrow I am going to my granddaughter Marissa's parade at school. Yes I will be taking pictures and sharing them with you all. Rebecca's class is doing nothing for halloween, except the teacher is buying cupcakes and juice. No costumes or parade :(

Well, it is going on midnight now and I am tired. I am going to go get some sleep. Or at least try too. Lately I haven't been able to sleep much. I hope everyone has a fun filled halloween and stay safe please. Check all the goodies the kids get before they eat any. I always check.

Love to all.............CINDY

  2. I have to say your baby girl is such a cutie! : )  I know it has all been difficult on you but you are doing what you can to get on with your life.  Life is the key.  Concentrate on what you hold dear, and that includes the memories you will always have of your sister.

  3. I know this past week has been so difficult for you and the entire family.  I am beyond words as to how to let you know I care and I am so sorry for what you must be feeling.  That Becca will always be a cutie pie and her personality shines as big as your heart.

    Love you dear sweet lady,
