It was a little bit of a rough weekend, but I survived. Said goodbye to Helen she may be gone but never forgotten.

The things I learned to appreciate.
1 My big brother mischief. It made lots of laughter
2 My mother's laughter a memory to cherish
3 Being able to visit my father's grave
4 Sister in laws who like to call me by my first name not the one I go bye.
5 Friends from way back when and who know you like a book.
Appreciate the past but look forward to the present and future.
Tax classes and start a new stitching piece .

What I appreciate today is a person. Her name was Helen McKinley. She was the most kind and gentle woman I ever knew. Other than my own mom. I always referred to her as my second mom she always had time for you even tho she had 6 kids of her own. Whenever I had someone special in my life I would make sure that they would meet her. There was always tea and some homemade treats on the table for us. I'll miss her. But I bet she's up in heaven having a game of bridge with my dad and probably beating him. Rest in Peace Love You.
