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

One Year Without You

I've been trying to write this for 2 months anticipating or rather dreading this day September 26th, 2018. Marking one entire year without my mom. How is that possible? Months ago, I thought I'd have pushed through to the 'other side' by now. Finding this quote has given me more courage to endure grief. I don't have high expectations of what it will look like each day but I do know this. I retain those deep, raw maternal sentiments she gushed onto me with her loving eyes, her gentle arms and her supportive words within the woven fabric of my soul. What if those pieces unravel? Who will be there to mend them? To sew a new patch? I have to do that. On my own. I will have to care for myself in the ways she taught me. For this reason I dug deeper than ever before into my purpose as a mother and wife. It's beyond fulfilling and I am finally reaping what I have worked so hard to achieve. A loving, wholesome family built on values, respect, and over-the-top "cel
