Our host is Gattina. Come join us and tell us what YOU did this past weekend! After all, you never know when you will need an alibi!
***************
This past weekend we celebrated my mother’s life. The service was good, but I was far too emotional, which made me feel very uncomfortable. I simply do not like showing my feelings in public.
The good part of the weekend was I got to spend time with my brother’s two sons. I have not seen the younger son since he was a young boy. He’s now a grown man, with two daughter’s of his own.
My older nephew I saw when he was on leave in the military. He is now out of the military and has a teenage son.
Here I am with the guys and my sister Mel.
Mel, Richard, Me and Jimmy.
Besides the service I got to meet the newest additions to our family, the beautiful baby twins, Nolan and Gabriel. They were preemies, but did so well, and their parents are so great meeting their needs. The boys are both happy and healthy.
This is Nolan and Gabe is in the background.
It was so wonderful to see these beautiful boys and remember that even with the loss of my mother, life does go on, in many beautiful and wonderful ways.
My drive home was eventful. The wind was blowing fiercely, and my car was swaying back and forth. Back and forth, and back and forth…and for the first time ever, I got motion sickness in the car! By the time I got home I was totally green! But I did make it.
Gorgeous babies and so glad you had time with your nephews. Your mom brought you all together. Xxoo
Love the pictures and I thought the whole service was wonderful and you did a great job.
Now the hard part comes, working through the grief and finding a new normal! Love YOU, Mel
