Well, three weeks til Christmas and with close friends coming to my house for the first time in five years I think of all the things that need to get done. Since we added on this year I don't know how we can't have finished some of those obvious things...tile, columns on the front porch.. and so on and so forth.
Sean says the screens and the columns should be finished up tomorrow. I am so excited to see what the house will look like with real columns on the front porch.
I had given Sean an October deadline for finishing the tile yet that rolled around and still not finished... I just didn't have the heart to call anyone. He has his heart set on doing it so he can finish what he started.
I was getting all upset about not having everything done when our friend Jane Dobson, who is Klaire's namesake and the closet thing to family we have, arrives. I was frantically cleaning the house and yelling at everyone to quit dragging out and laying their toys around. My mom then reminded me that Jane is not going to care what my house looks like. She lost her husband last year on December 20. It made realize how unimportant those things we get caught up in are. I am so thankful for a family I can call on a daily basis and talk to.
Bobby you will be greatly missed but never forgotten. I remember so many Thanksgvings and Christmases with you and your family. Things I remember most is your huge smile and loving hugs everytime we came to visit. Everytime I hear Rainbow Brite I will think of you and our trip back to Texas. You and my parents telling me "no kids at the card table." Laughing hysterically while playing Trivial Pursuit and learning more about Czechasylvikia than I ever needed or wanted to know. I love you so much and miss you. Your family will live on to me in Klaire. I miss your smile and sweet spirit.
Don't ever take those for granted because you never know when someone you love will be called to be with Jesus.
