August Visit

I am really to tired to mess with all of the pictures tonight

BUT

Did want to show you one happy boy !! We went shopping today before Serena & Jack went back home

to Texas.

It is hard to tell in this picture , but these are

"Lightening McQueen shoes"

and they light up !!

O . M . G .

You should have seen him walking thru the

store doing the "monster walk" because he thought he had

to stomp or jump to make them light up.!!

These are his first "character" shoes

That's right , Maa & Pa bought these for him,

and he loves them .

I really hate August

It was a year on Aug.6th that Marc died ..

Today , Aug 12. it has been 18 years since

my Mom died....

****

See why I hate August??

***************

If love alone could have kept them alive

they would still be here..

What is life?

It is the flash of a firefly in the night.

It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.

It is the little shadow which runs across the grass

and loses itself in the sunset.

We are coming up to the anniversary of Marc's death

These past few days have been painful

and I don't really know what to say, but

I know what I feel.

I feel hurt , lost , angry, upset

and most of all lonely.

*****

I miss the weekly phone calls,

the crazy messages he would leave on my voice mail

Why did I delete them??

Maybe because I thought he would be here forever and

there would always be more .

I read this poem someplace and I don't remember where -

I would like to share it ...

* * *

Some souls pass through this lifetime

like a gentle summer rain

They touch our hearts

then return to heaven

once again

For once I will not post the Superman Picture ..

But look for it next year
