Dearest john-O-matic

We'll not too muh going on other than n raging sinus infection that came axe alive today around one!! I left to get meds and came back. Man does that mucinex 'fast max' work F-a-s-t!! 
I came home to mom and Allison anking pudding cake for Jill's birthday tomorrow. Allison quick got ready for dance. I chose to listen to my book (Insurgent) with headphones to drown out some obnoxious moms! When we for back we went straight to Tom and Debb's to install the car seat. Allison wanted to stay longer of course but relaxed after being reminded she'd be there in 12 hours. 
My dad sent Allison a package of cookies and my mom sent her Halloween goodies. Spoiled freakin rotten!! 
Tiger teeth... This is by far the creepiest pictires ever of our daughter... So let's move on... Here are aunt lor's tp mummies 
 
And my Kleenex monster 
And mom and aunt June's creepy crawlers
Yes, the one on the right has oyster cracker eyes... 
It was great to hear your voice (out of breath) for a moment today. 
I'm thinking we should stay in GR if I have to bring Allison! 
Brands had the baby today!! 
 
Pretty sure we need to go there on saturday to meet Jackson Douglas!!! 
Also, I wanted to tell you that I have been enjoying turning the volume up on the monitor and listening to our little girl breathe. Remember when she slept next to me in the co sleeper and you still had the monitor on your side of the bed and checked the it in the middle of the night... (Cue music- Darius Rucker 'it won't be like this for long). I didn't show Allison the pic of your elk but maybe I should have... she asked me what a donkey looked like in real life after reading a weird old MacDonald book that featured a donkey ( hee haw!) 
E-I-e-I-O!!! So I showed her this 
And I quote: awe that little donkey so cute I'm going to shoot a bow and arrow at it!! 
Also^^^ don't know if you can read this but super funny that the roundness of Kix cereal is what makes your biceps round. I never knew that! 
Also what's up with her calling me her little Coochy mommy!?? Bahaha
I love how magnificent her mind is. And I also live that I helped make it that way. I always tell her that as an artist I consider her to be the prettiest trying I have ever made and by far my bests masterpiece! 
Love your face off! 
Xoxo 
Lomiss you

Tribute to my Mom(This was my speech for her service)

My mom loved to celebrate. She celebrated life full of sports, music, our military, and especially her kids. She would always say "Children should be celebrated." The funny thing about quoting her is that she would always she was someone of few words. Her words made an impact and so did her actions. As we reminisced old stories and looking through even older photographs, she is clearly celebrating in them all! I'd love to share some stories and things that I hold fast to during this difficult time. I'm not going to say I lost my mom, because I didn't. I know where she is and I know she is celebrating up there with some long lost loved ones who she's been missing dearly. The day she passed we were recounting the stories of when she was little girl. Having four older brothers played a big role in these stories as you could imagine. One of my favorites was when her brothers told her that she could be Queen for the day if she sat on the throne-shaped ca...

No Regrets

The few days before my mom passed, she asked me if there was anything I needed to tell her or share with her as her time was nearing an end. It didn't take me long to say, "No, Mom. I know that you know just how much I love you." We were fortunate to have been in an open, loving relationship where we have always been honest. When I say fortunate I mean I'm happy that we have always been deliberate in expressing our feelings, especially the warm fuzzy ones. I feel gracious to not have to be reconciling or apologizing for long lost grudges or arguments during those last days. That wasn't our style. We wrote cards to each other that took up the entire blank side with an outpouring of our deepest emotions not just on holidays but year-round. I didn't anticipate what a relief that would be in this moment. No regrets. No sadness about our past, just love. Deep, raw, mother-daughter "me and you against the world" kind of bond that will not end now but co...

My Papa

Wednesday 1/19 He's gone. My dad is gone. I cannot believe it still. I kept clutching my heart between sobs after finding out yesterday. I contined to do so all day, behind a mask at the airport, trying to get to him. I was too late. Thank God, my stepmom was there with him. I'm glad I did not learn of his passing alone in an airport. Instead I fell to my knees, with my hand over my heart and folded myself up into the fetal position with John's arms wrapped around me. In all my experiences of loss my cousin Jeff, my mom and now this I have always reverted to this position upon tragic news. It's such an instrinsic response. Not allowing your body to be vulnerable and exposed but protected by your own limbs and sometimes those of others. My dad's throat cancer had come back even after the laryngectomy and chemo/rad treatments in November. The absess in his neck led to him losing too much blood. From what I know, he was not in pain. He actually stood up with indign...
