CHANGE


some of you may be tired of pictures of roses and trees - however i never cease to be amazed at their beauty....my japanese maple has completely turned red and soon it will be stripped naked and i will miss its morning greeting ..... i need to pay attention to these changes so that changes in my life will not seem so hard when they happen..... my life has completely changed in this last year and it is so difficult to accept most of the time.... sunday we were playing "basketball" on the patio with ben ronan and liam..... ben said "nana, pick me up -i want to throw the ball in the hoop" ...i reached down to get him and then realized that i'm not able to pick him up high enough to shoot a basket.... i had to tell him that he needed to ask uncle tim to pick him up...it was a horrible moment and even now as i write this the tears are falling and i'm very sad.... thanksgiving will be another change as deirdre,tim, ronan and liam will be in riverside with deirdre's mom so it will be quiet and small with christa, chris and ben..... i will miss having everyone here even tho i understand that deirdre's mom deserves time with her precious grandsons and deirdre and tim..........

Yes, you have lots to be thankful for, as we all do. Sh*t happens, but so does the good stuff! Happy Thanksgiving and may the next year be filled with more good stuff and less sh*t!! I love you, Geri
