Let It Snow!!!

Wow.  Me and my Mom joked all day yesterday about the "bad" weather hitting us.
Guess someone is trying to tell me something....heh heh.
I guess the roads must be bad when Anoka Hennepin School District closes.  They are known for never closing down.  My kids are happy.  Mom is happy she doesn't have to drive.  Dogs are super happy and lovin this mess!!

So keep warm today, drive careful if you must go out, and enjoy the beautiful landscape.

Follow the Yellow Brick Road!!

I am so proud of Emily!!  She tried out for a play at the Elk River Children's Theater, and is going to play the part of a munchkin and a poppy!!  She has more courage than I ever did at her age, and I am so excited for her!! This will be a perfect role for her to play for her first time ever.  It will give her the feel of what its like to be on stage, singing, acting, without the "spot light" having to be directly on her.  She has so much talent, and I am excited to see where it will bring her.
Congrats to my Beebz!  I love you so very much....

The most painful tears are not the tears that fall from our eyes and cover our face,
its the ones that fall from our heart and cover our soul.

I cannot believe it was 3 years ago today that you chose to leave us behind.  Your pain was so big, and so out of control, you truly felt that leaving was the only way to end all your suffering.  I believe your suffering has ceased.  I believe you are now in a place where you are full of peace, full of love and light.  Full of all the things you desired but could not attain while here.

 

I still think of you every day.  I still find my heart skip a beat every once in awhile when I see someone from a distance who looks like you.  I hear you in Jon's voice when he says this special "HI".   But you know what?  I'm OK, Danny!  I'm OK!  

 

I will see you again someday, but its just not time.  God has other plans for me right now.  And though I miss you, I find great comfort in knowing you are safe in God's hands now.  What better place for you?

 

I love you my brother.
