IT HAS BEEN 5 MONTHS TODAY SINCE MOM LEFT THIS LIFE FOR THE NEXT..

AND THE BITTER SWEET MEMORIES LINGER ON.. (her sweet life, and the bitter, hard, painful way she died.... oh, that terrible cancer!)

I HAD A DREAM THE OTHER NIGHT.. WELL, LET ME START AT THE BEGINNING.. (AND THIS PART IS VERY TRUE) MOM HAD TOLD ME FOR MANY YEARS THAT SHE WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE WENT TO A DANCE, AND ACTUALLY DANCED (she did neither) BUT IN MY DREAM, SHE WAS ILL AND STILL WOBBLY ON HER FEET, BUT WANTED TO DANCE.. SO I HELPED HER UP (AT HER REQUEST) AND WE DANCED.. AT FIRST I WAS PRETTY MUCH HOLDING HER UP AND THE DANCE WAS SLOW.. SHE TRIED TO SMILE.. BUT THEN THE DANCE WENT ON, SHE WAS GIGGLING, AND HOLDING HERSELF UP.. THEN LAUGHING AND DANCING ON HER OWN, (just holding my hands) AND LAUGHING MORE AND LIGHTER AND LIGHTER ON HER FEET, LAUGHING SO HARD AND SOOO HAPPY! .. AND DANCING AS IF DANCING ON CLOUDS .. THEN SHE STRETCHED UP TO KISS MY CHEEK AND "AH, I COULD FEEL HER GENTLE KISS".. THEN I WOKE UP.. BUT I AM GRATEFUL FOR SUCH A REAL DREAM.. "THANKS GOD FOR ANOTHER WONDERFUL TIME WITH MOM"
WE LOVE YOU MOM, AND MISS YOU SOOO MUCH!

NORMAN AND ABIGAIL WENT DOWN TO HIS MOMS TODAY AND PUT UP A STORM DOOR WITH SCREEN, WHILE I WAS WORKING.. I AM GLAD THAT HE IS SPENDING SOME TIME WITH HIS MOM! THEN SHE GAVE HIM HER OLDER SCREEN DOOR, IT WOULDN'T FIT ANY OF HER DOORS... (IT'S OLD AND VERY PRETTY, OR WE THINK SO) AND IT WILL FIT OUR BACK DOOR PERFECTLY.. NEW PAINT, SCREEN AND HINGES AND HOPEFULLY AN OLE TYPE SPRING FOR A CLOSURE.. "PERFECT" THANKS MOM TERRY

SO WE RAN DOWN AND GOT SOME GREEN PAINT.. (no not this shade) BUT A PRETTY GREEN PAINT FOR THE SCREEN (back) DOOR, AND BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK DOORS.. TO ADD THAT "SPLASH OF COLOR" (*.*)
