4 DAYS

of feasting.

it was not Thanksgiving.

But it was

THANKSGIVING

however by Sunday afternoon

 I was ready to return to the routine chaos of our

HOME

 

A few highlights or enlightening of mine,

 

~a boy young man

that has spent much time at our farm and home,

over the past several years,

is a relative of my relatives,

our world became smaller,

weird,

 but  his g'mother's death and funeral write-up cause me to wonder,

wonder no more,

his grandmother's 1st cousin is married to my aunt.

 

~a man that at one time spent time in the Michigan's upper peninsula

remembered my mother and time shared there.

He is now spending time in Ohio/West Virginia,

anyways he spoke to mom and reintroduce himself to her,

neat to say the least,

Mom, 92, hard of hearing, fatigued,

was not quite getting it......

anyways after a brief visit,

John W. gave each mom and I a list for 2013-2014

mom glances over it,

saying

"I know so and so......

and oh I know John W_________."

me, standing to the side,

   shared a knowing grin with JohnW.

quietly stating to him,

"welcome to my world"

 

~and then someone in passing

says,

"hi, Janna"

huh, what????

"oh, I read your blog!"

my thoughts and still thinkin'

why???

(Hi, Renee!)

 

~and in closing,

my 2 oldest and I attended a funeral

Monday.

She was a mother to

5 and wife to 1

leaving a huge

vacancy in their lives.

52 yo, cancer winning.

she loved God and raised her children to love Him,

wished she could have known more about our past 4 days.

 

so very, very, thankful for those who are.....
