I know it's been awhile. I don't know what holds me back from coming here to write. Anyway, tomorrow my youngest child is turning 8! How time flies! He was 3 when Julia passed away and amazingly enough he speaks of her everyday! I know she'll be w/him on his b-day. We always say whenever there's a sparkle on our face that means that Julia has kissed us, well my Little Man has been getting them left and right so he knows his big sister is visiting him around his b-day!

Jacob and Justine go to camp during the day and because Jordan is too old to attend he basically hangs out w/his friends. I see him here and there. :) He's such a good kid that I know he's doing okay. All my kids are good. I'm very blessed.

Things are getting a little easier for me. On May 9 my job position was eliminated effective immediately. So one minute I had a job and the next it was gone. I've never had that feeling of having the rug ripped out from under my feet like that before! I was in shock for a good week and a half. Everyone kept saying the good ole cliches like one door closes another one opens, things happen for a reason, etc. In the long run I know it's for the best as there were going to be major changes I just wasn't prepared for this now! I was just shy of being there 12yrs. It just shows that loyalty doesn't mean much when it comes to money! So, I am enjoying my summer and will go back to work a little later. I am getting a severance package so I'm good for awhile.

Last night I went to a funeral home. My girlfriend's best friends 20yr. old sister passed away. I didn't know her but I knew the best friend. As I stood there watching the mom of this young woman siiting there getting hugged and kissed by everyone I could see the "blankness" in her eyes and could feel every ounce of pain that she felt. I had a hold of my charm around my neck w/Julia's picture in it. I could just feel that pain of knowing that you're not suppose to be burying your child/children, they are suppose to burying you as a parent. That pain is so gut wrenching I was actually weak in the knees! Once again for those of you who have never walked in these shoes, it is the absolute WORST feeling ever! There is no rhyme or reason for it! I heard someone say last night "This sucks!" It's true, that's a perfect way of describing it!

I wish their family the strength they need to get through this. My heart is w/them and I am here for whoever needs me.

My dear sweet Julia, we miss and love you soooo very much! You continue to watch over all of us and come have fun at Jacob's bowling party tomorrow!!
