Hey everyone!
Yesterday my aunt Judy would have been 45yrs. old... Last night my family gathered at my grandads to say the rosary(prayers) together....it's something Judy always loved to do as a family...so it was our gift to her....I know she loved it! There was a house full...between 15-20 people...that wasn't even all of our family...just the ones who could make it. It turned out really well.
The graphic above was made by none other than Nae...isn't it beautiful... She made this for me not long after Judy passed away....because the last week Judy was with us...we were at her house every night...and 3 nights out of that week...everytime Jeff and I got in the truck to come home...the song "Calling all Angels" would come on...I knew it was a sign from Judy before she was even gone...cause i was having such a hard time letting go...finally on that 3rd night that we heard it... I felt such a calm...and peace come over me...and allowed myself to let go...and be okay with it...for Judy wouldn't be suffering anymore.
Happy Birthday Judy ~ I miss you so much!
I finally got to see Conner last night...he is weighing over 10lbs now....hard to believe he was only a little over 3lbs...in Dec. He sure is a cutie pie....
Please keep some very special people in my life in your prayers... Johnny, Linda, Riss and Faith...Thanks so much!
Hope all is well with all of you...
AI tonight...What did ya'll think about the guys last night..? My 2 fav. guys are Blake and Chris Richardson...I'm hoping Sanjaya..and Sundance go home tomorrow.
Have a good night....
Hugs...

ReplyDeleteMust be awesome to have such a close family. :o)
ReplyDeleteLORI
Sounds like a really beautiful evening your family shared.
ReplyDeleteAs for American Idol Sundance is actually one of my favorites. It needs to be Sanjaya and Jarrod, neither of them were very good and neither have done that hot throughout imo. Jarrod has the personality of a towel.
My "Aunt Judy" was My Aunt Dolly........oh how I loved that woman, she was smart and funny and fierce! We lost her to lung cancer back in 1988. She was a huge part of this big old crazy Irish family and she is missed. Our lives go on, but there is always a hole in our heart without them.

It is such a process when we go through grief and loss like this and can be so emotionally draining. I will keep you in my prayers and your family.

Terri, I just want to personally thank you for your comments. Among others, this is what keeps me going, what gives me hope, and what encourages me to keep my journal going. God bless you and yours, always, Barbara
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful tag that Nae made. I'm glad you got together to honor your Aunt Judy.
ReplyDeleteLOL...for some reason, I liked Sundance...oh well...I hope Sanjaya gets the boot soon. I do think Blake will go far with this one.
Wow, Conner is 10 lbs. now. He really has grown. Bet he's so precious. Love ya, chris
I remember some of these graphics. Happy birthday to aunt Judy. I know how much you miss her. And I thought Sanjaya was a goner for sure! I think he even thought it. lol Love ya, Shelly
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a good weekend and sounds like you have had a bit of sentimenality lately over your aunt. I am sure she looks down at you all with pride knowing that her loved ones are so caring. Hope you have a nice week. Take care.
