Wind, rain and snow....oh my.
We had a hurricane barrel through here last week. We were very very fortunate in that we were not affected. We had a few branches down but never lost power or heat. We actually enjoyed the night of the storm at Nana
s house with Ella and Cathy. A real campout night.
A few of my dear friends were not as fortunate.
Diane a room mate from college lost everything. She and her beautiful son Christian's home was washed away. All gone. She is now living with her sons father.
My dear friend Susan, Pocahontas, lost everything as well. She texted me that she is in a shelter in Atlantic city. She hasnt slept in a week. I want to go get her, so she can get some rest and warm bed.
I am snuggled in my bed right now.
Warm, dry, a hot cup of tea, sleeping boy in his room.
My husband is at one of the apartments getting something going.
He was instrumental in keeping our little town going during the hurricane.
A town person wrote a letter to the editor of our paper thanking him. Thats really cool.
He is a good egg. He has a big heart and wants to help people.
We are expecting snow tonight.
Am I a bad person and ungrateful if I am ok with that?
Does it make me selfish if I want to have a day off with my boys to hunker down and snuggle.?
There are families displaced and lost from this Sandy storm.
I feel very bad for them. I am grateful for our comfort and safety.
My own Brother and sister in law were without power, heat hot water for over a week.
I am sure someday we will be without. I pray we will as prepared and flexible.
Watching the Long Island Medium.
What would I want to hear from my lost family members?
Not too much for myself because I am pretty sure I am at peace.
I want my daughters to hear from my Dad.
I know Allie wants to hear that her Pop approves and Loves her even with her choice to live with Ryan.
I know he does. He could not Love her more.
He would definitely tell Missi to get back to school and buckle down, get it done. She will someday need to support herself and graduating will do that for her.
Nothing is more comforting than knowing that no matter what may happen in your relationships, or world, YOU WILL BE OK.
You can take care of yourself.
No one needs to take care of you.
Rambling post tonight.
If the Long Island Medium were to visit with us I would want to hear,
For Rick- some peace for him from Mike and Dad. I think he is somewhat broken by these losses. Losing Mike, his best friend, and being so far away has brought some guilt to his heart.
I thinkhe struggles with that. I would ask for his peace, to know that even if he lived closer, he could not change the way life moves on. He is so loved everyday, even 3000 miles away. Even from heaven to earth he is a favorite.
Grief and loss bring life into clearer focus.
I was never so aware of how in Love with my family I was, until death came to our door so quickly and quietly.
Death hung over my head, and was pulling at the strings of my soul, I awoke with the taste of eternity in my mouth.
I washed it down with the sweet kisses of my children and husband. I can conjure the smell and the yank of going under, saved only by the gasp of "IM HERE< DONT GIVE UP YET!"
Like the view through the bottom of a milk glass, I could see my forever as an observer of my children growing up without me, Until I squeezed my eyes shut tight, clenched my fists, and kicked on through to the world of the breathing.
It will be one day too short when I do leave them again, It will never be long enough.
But our forever of timeless rest and knowing, will be the reward of my time without them.
Bahhhh Im way too chatty tonight.
Love you all, no matter what. 100 years from this date, you are my last thought.
My truest achievement, my greatest gift, that I cant let go of.
Those three people that have the souls of forever, and my blood pumping through their veins.
Their Babies babies, will be my own.
The bluest eyes-are mine, 100 years from tonight.
