Trichelle, Ivy and I went to the Airport yesterday and picked up both of my brothers. I was so glad that I was able to go get them. We had some plans change that made it possible. (originally I wasn't going to be able to and so Trichelle volunteered to) I am so glad that Trichelle still wanted to go and that we had Ivy also. So nice spending some extra time with them. As much as I enjoy watching my kids grow up and have their families I will admit I miss them. I miss seeing and talking to them everyday. So, when I do get to be around them I cherish it.
Terry flew in about 4:00 pm but Bennett's flight wasn't scheduled to get in until 7:30 pm. We decided to leave the airport and get something to eat. We just went to a nearby Subway and enjoyed some food and music there until we needed to go back to the airport. I loved visiting with Terry while we waited. It's so good seeing my brothers after so long. While we were waiting for Bennett, Ivy wanted her mom to hold her hands and spin or jump with her. Trichelle said: No Ivy I don't want to act like a 7 year old so I jumped in and told her I would. It made us all laugh! Terry really thought that was great!
Bennett arrived with a smile and a big hug. He is so up beat and fun.....Oh Happy, Happy Heart!
My mom and dad were so excited to have the boys come. They have been calling them both and my brothers have loved that too. They were comparing who got what calls from what parent. It made me laugh. In fact, we did a lot of laughing.
I am so glad that after all these years of being a part and living such different lives we all really enjoy and love each other. Who would have know that such happiness could exist? It's hard to describe the amount of love I feel inside of me.....pure joy!
I am excited to have my kids visit with their Uncles and get to know them. I know Ivy & Trichelle had some good laughs and enjoyed the time they had with them. I am going to try to get in as much time with them as possible while they are here this week.
Today (Thursday) while I was up visiting my dad needed me to move my car so he could go to the store. I went out to move it and heard a moan....it sounded like a cat. I looked across the street where the moan was coming from and couldn't see anything. Then I heard it again and looked again a little better. Thank Goodness......my parents neighbor, Mr Voss had fallen and was laying on the ground by his front porch. It made me sick to my stomach and I ran over to see if he was okay. I hollered at my dad to grab the boys to come help him up. Mr Voss was fine and hadn't been there too long and told me that he could see me and "hollered". (He's too old and weak to pull himself up) I think he heard me rather than see me and so today it is good that I am loud. (his head was on the other side of the porch and he couldn't lift it far enough to see us) His "holler" wasn't a holler at all....seriously it did sound like a sick cat. I don't think it was a coincident that I needed to move my car and that my dad chose to go to the store when he did. I think "angels" were watching over Mr Voss. It makes me sick to think of what might have happened. More snow came a bit after I left and it was cold. I'm glad we were able to help him and that he wasn't left out in the cold. I am thankful for the "Angels" among us!
