I think I need a tissue...

I just became overwhelmed with sorrow as I realized how much I'm going to miss my big brother... He's moving from Temple, TX to North Carolina in the next week or so. I don't see him a lot as it is, but the distance is going make it even harder. In reality I'll probably see him close to the same amount as I do now. I'm going to Temple tomorrow with my mom to help them finish packing. Did I mention my sister-in-law is pregnant? It's a boy and she's due in June. Not only will I probably not get to be there for the birth, but he won't be a Texan! I'm going to miss them so much. I'm really sad right now :o( I hope I can hold it together through the weekend. When Mom and I leave them on Sunday I hope I can hold it together for her. I know she must be heartbroken.

The thing about kids is that you love them more than anything else on the planet. You hurt when they hurt and you cry when they cry. You celebrate with them and mourn with them. I'm so excited to see what the next chapter holds for them, but I'm so sad to see them go. It's got to be so hard for her to not be there when her grand baby is born... Perhaps God will work one of his many miracles and we can be there for this little blessing. If not all of us, then at least her. Every Grandma should get to hold her grand baby and look into their eyes. Maybe I live in a dream world to hope for such a thing.

My heart hurts for my mom... Come Sunday I'll do my best to hold it together and I'll be there to hold her hand and supply the Kleenex.

P.S. Sorry this post isn't exactly sunshine and kittens. You caught me at a weak moment...

Good Grief

*sigh*

I haven't blogged in ages!!! I suppose it's because I think every post should be filled with brilliant anecdotes and witty paragraphs and I only possess so much awesomeness... Unfortunately, I'm at my best when in the shower or lying in bed trying to fall asleep. I know you, my following of 4, hang on my every word so I apologize greatly for slacking so. I hate to keep my public waiting.

This post is more of a "Hey guys, I'm still alive and in the blogosphere" kind of a post than anything else. I intend to get back on the blogging horse and fun with her! Inspired or not!!! My apologies in advance if some rather dry and unfunny posts follow. I. Will. Blog.

For now, hope you all are enjoying your Wednesday and you find your missing socks.
