As communion was being passed, I slipped my arm into my husband's arm and hugged him gently and I slipped my other arm around my mother. It was such a special moment for me to have my loved ones with me today. My cousin Tracy was seated beside my mother and I was so thrilled to have him there, too. Tracy kept saying "this place is so big" and I kept saying "you should see Harrodsburg Rd". He said, "I've never been to a church where they opened with "Eye of the Tiger".
I love that I am now seeing people at church that I know. Scott and Gina are now coming at the same time we are and it was great to see them. I miss our weekly Life Groups with them. Adarryl is there every Sunday and he always hugs us. I act like I don't know him and he tells me he is Jon Weece. He is so crazy. I even saw Jamal who tells me he wets the bed at church today. Its feeling like a smaller church and thats what I was hoping for.
Lunch afterwards with Tracy and mom was very nice. Tracy said sometimes he can remember what Papa smelled like. I don't remember that smell. I wish that I did. It felt comforting to hear Tracy talk about Papa, the man that he and I loved so so much and he loved us so so much, too. Tracy has been through so much this year. I am glad that he is being receptive to my requests to spend time together. I really needs love right now.
