Had a good weekend!

Mom had her birthday Saturday and I made one of her favorite meals. We ate and had cheesecake and just had a good time. It was a sad birthday for her, but we worked through it. I hope we can do as good for the holidays. We all miss Nana terribly and it's hard to get through it.
On to happier things, Eden ordered her (EEEEK!) graduation packet already! Lord have mercy!
I am only working two days this week due to Veteran's Day and some time off I had scheduled. Party, party!
The kids are doing great.....Nick's football is done for the season, I think he is going to want to be a Graham Steer next year when he starts High School. He's taller than I am and getting taller all the time!
Madison is a bunch of fun. She is writing songs, stories and she loves to read. That is a big deal seeing as how she is dyslexic. Yeah for her!
Our "other son", Buzz , is fat and sassy. Please, if you meet him, don't tell him he's a dog!
I am really enjoying the photos on this site. I wish I had more on my computer, maybe soon.

Keri, the thing about holidays after you have lost someone special is this: you get geared up to be a little sad for the special day and, because you were ready, it goes fairly well. A few tears but fairly well. Here's what you have to look out for...movie pictures in your head that remind you of times past. The times that you say to yourself, "Well, I'll call Nana. She'll know." Then you realize that Nana can't answer anymore. THOSE are the hardest times. Christmas will be a little sad, but you'll be ready. Watch out the the random weekend. It'll knock you for a loop.
Love you,
Candy

Exactly what Candy said, Keri and it applies to both you and your mom. I won't go so far as to say you *get over* it, you will, in time get used to it. There are still always the hard times when it slips up on you as Candy said, but if you know going in there may be some sadness with the good times, just try to focus on the good times and all the good memories. We love you all!
