Heathers Birthday The baby is going to a Nuerosurgeon in St. Louis today. Her latest brain scan did not come out as well as we had hoped. This Dr is about 4 hours drive from Amys house. I am very anxious and worried about this. I don't know what I am going to do if she has surgery as far as getting there, which I do not feel like I have any choice in the matter about. It's a damn long walk! Today is also Heathers 13th birthday. I am back to having two teenage girls in the house again, and now I offically have three teenage daughters. (grabs some aspirin). Yesterday I got a call from Judy. Her Mother died and the viewing was last night. Ofcourse I went. I would do almost anything for Judy and her family. She was one of my closest friends for many years. People used to think we were sisters and we would get mistaken for each other all the time. You know how people say everyone has a double in the world? Well Judy is mine, and I hers. While at the funeral parlor last night, her brother in law walked up behind me and put his arms around me (scaring me half to death) and whispers in my ear "Judy I am so sorry hun" and I turned my head to look at him... he jumped about 3 feet back and started stammering "I...I...you.. uh..I'm sorry.. arghhh" I smiled and replied "its okay, common mistake." That hasn't happened in a long time, then again I havent been around Judy with others present in a long time either. Her Mother looked very peaceful and actually had a smile on her face. Judy said "Doesn't that look like the face that just saw Jesus?" I studied her Moms face for a moment. I can't answer such questions but I can say this, she did look peaceful and happy. The casket was gorgeous. A pale pink colour, white satin lining with the words "Going Home" embroderied in the satin on the lid ,, with two seagulls(?) in flight. It was a very fitting and lovely funeral parlor too, an old southern mansion type place. Which to me seemed to be approperiate for a graceful southern woman to be laid out in. Today is the graveside funeral. Today Heather has a dentist appointment too (yes on her bday, her Father made that appt in July .. go figure). I hope this is not a omen about what Heathers teen years are going to bring. I am supposed to go to the funeral but honestly I do not want too. I am not real keen on graveyards at all. I am struggling with staying home but like I said earlier I would do almost anything for Judy. One thing I have learned in my life is that there are times when friends can mean more then even distant family or relatives. Sometimes it is your friends that see you through. I take my friendships seriously, and this is really really a huge thing with me , going in the graveyard. Judy knows this and didnt even expect me to come to the wake last night. Okay can anyone help me get my guestbook up and running again? I give up! For any suggestions or solutions please e-mail me, the tab for mail works. |
