Here we go again

I've been blessed once again with the cold of the season.  My lovely granddaughter brought us all a cold from school.  Not her fault but that's one gift I could do without.  Same old struggle...the cough that beats all coughs.  I must though, remember to be positive and never forget my blessings in life at times like these.  This is temporary.  Many people don't have that blessing.

Lately, I've been thinking about my younger days.  I don't know if it's because I'm watching my granddaughters learn and grow or if it's because I'm also thinking about may brother.  The one I lost last year.   It hasn't been a year yet.  I still miss him so much!  I miss his silly jokes and the fun that he always seemed to have around his friends and loved ones.  He was so outgoing which is what I am not. 

I recently re-connected with an old classmate.  She was my 1st best friend.  Isn't it interesting how when you have a true friend and you haven't seen or talked to each other in a long time, you can still easily relate to them?  Here I am at 60, remembering what my life was like at age 6. It really it true..best friends are forever.

I have been coughing and not sleeping; hence, I'm on here.
Time to try sleeping again.  Morning comes early.

No words

When you lose someone you love, it takes part of the heart away.  It's like having so much hurting pent up inside that you can't  really share accurately so you don't share it at all.  So..no words can really describe how much it hurts. :(

Seven staples

Today I took my older brother to the ER.  He fell in his drive on the ice and again when he entered the house.  He ended up with 2 cuts on the back of his head.  One cut was about 2 inches and the other about 1 inch.  A total of 7 staples in his head.   I am thankful he is o.k. but- #thefunneverends!
