Lots going on up here. I’m doing ok but driving a ton and am back in Denver again today, ugh. As far as being overwhelmed, that’s not me but rather Jagger. He’s trying to do about a months worth of work at his new school to catch up and he puts so much pressure on himself that he gets overwhelmed. As I’ve said before, he’s like OCD about it. We’re both meeting with the Upper School Director this morning and I’m going to make sure she lets him know to just relax!
Then I’m off to the warehouse in Denver for some samples before meeting up with Tom to review the obituary. We decided to keep it short and sweet as it’s so expensive. I need to verify a few details and then need to get it published.
I spoke with the Pastor yesterday and Tom and I are supposed to meet with him next Tuesday at 8:30 am. (Tom, make a note) I need to book Tasha’s ticket as she sent me her details and I think Robi and Robert are getting theirs too. We’re going to have a reception at 240 Union after the service and I need to call them today too. Then I think we’ll go out to dinner with a few people or maybe just head back up the hill, not sure yet.
Tom and I have been reminiscing about Mom a lot this weekend as the three of us would always talk every weekend about football. We still miss her lots but are trying to move on as you have to do. Here’s a little thing Robin sent yesterday that’s pretty neat.
I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free. I’m following the path God laid for me, I took his hand when I heard him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that place at the close of day. If my parting has left a void then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss. Ah, yes these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full, I’ve savored much; good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief; Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me. God wanted me now. He set me free.
Here’s one of my favorite pictures even though it’a a little grainy. It’s Mom holding Jag! Look at him laughing, too funny.
God Bless,
