Memorials

Resurrection Cemetery
Dear Haylee,

To think that just 365 days ago, we placed you in your final resting place.  A place where we can come visit  and remember all of the things that made you so special.  I remember when we chose your urn.  Justine and I knew from the moment we saw it, it was the one for you...beautiful like you.  The cross is the one that Jordyn bought you for Justine's wedding.  The 'farewell' frog, was picked out by your dad and Justine.  There is a shoebox filled with memories hidden behind it.

I am so grateful for everyone who came together to celebrate your life.  Hundreds of people were at the funeral and even more came to the funeral home the night before.  I'm thankful for the people who chose to remember you at the place of your accident and the place where you worked.  Now there are more places for people to visit and remember you.  You were so blessed to have so many who loved you.

I know that we all have places, photos, tokens and other mementos of you.  They help us to cope with the loss of your love and friendship.  You were so special to so many people.  Know that you will always be loved and missed.

Love,

Mom

5 Days Post Haylee

It has been five days.  The grieving process has begun for myself and many around me.  It's a  beast this thing called grief.  It attaches to or attacks each of us differently.  When my mother lost my sister Barb, she named her grief George.  I think I too will have a name for my grief.  I've been thinking about Clarence.  I always loved the character Clarence Odbody.    He was only doing what was right and tried to have a little fun along the way.  He kept things simple.  I like simple.  I won't mind if Clarence hangs around awhile. "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

Responsible

Responsible: having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role. I am responsible for many things whether I am at work or at home.  I don't always like it.  Sometimes, I do not want to be responsible.  I want to slack off or not care or just be the opposite of responsible.

Vaccine Day!

Image
Today I was able to get my 1st dose of the Pfizer - Covid 19 vaccine. Our county vaccinated 8,000 teachers in two days! It was very well run. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes including the 15 minute wait afterwards. It's been about five hours since and my arm is a bit sore now. I can't remember the last time I got a vaccine. Probably a tetnus shot. --- Those really hurt. Anyway, I'm glad to do my part to get this pandemic under control. As I look at my calorie tracker for the day: 1750 calories food and 59 oz. water.
