Music from Queen to King

Believe me when I say somedays I wonder…”Is life just real or it it a fantasy?  Is there no escape from reality?”  Yesterday was our two month hurdle without our son’s smile, laughter or love.   THIS version does not “send shivers down my spine” but brings a smile to my heart!  We ARE born…

Terms of Endearment

Connor loved people.  Our son had a way with making others feel special.  He was a good friend and confidant to many.  One of his earthly possessions  I received was his phone.  In it were hundreds of contacts with strange names.  I do not believe he left many people without renaming them within some humor…

Tell me about your son…

I am certain I would want no one else to have to endure what we have these past fifty-nine days since Connor’s accident.  I realize all people here on earth have trials, tribulation and illnesses.  I’ve lost close friends to cancer and accidents in these past few years and seen the suffering.  Each day these…

Hot Chocolate!

Connor and I discussed a 5K last fall.  Ugly sweater run or Hot Chocolate…not a difficult decision for either of us.  We ran for Chocolate!  We were set for a repeat of this fun run for Ronald McDonald house charity yesterday.  Instead of running beside Connor, God surrounded me and our entire family with loving…

Men of C.L.A.S.S.

Traveling through this new journey in life, I look back at things I’ve written to my children.  I was touched by all the children and young adults that braved coming to Connor’s celebration of life.  I know for many this was the first time they had been to a funeral or lost a friend.  I believe…

To Everything there is a season

Goodmourningmama.com

Some things you never forget, some days are harder than others.  In 1977 I was enjoying my 7th grade music class at Coolidge Jr. High School.  Our teacher played guitar and taught us the song, Turn! Turn! Turn! by the Byrds.  We sang it all semester and I loved it!  It holds distinction as the…

Look up and smile!

Goodmourningmama.com

My  children tease me every time I have my photo taken as I unintentionally laugh out loud when I smile.  They ALL laugh at me…after me.  Our Christmas card from last year displays outside family fun!  Sadly, no one received them as the entire order was lost in the mail.  Today is family photo day…

Look up, be thankful!

Our life here on earth is so temporary.  On this day filled with food and indulgence, “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.”  Psalm 34:8. As our family celebrates why we are thankful today, we are with such great loss of our son, brother, cousin,…
