As some of you already know, my Aunt Linda (aka Nanny) passed away on Sunday. All things considered, I think I am dealing with it pretty well. I had a difficult time with facing the situation, as I don't do well with hospitals since my mama passed away, but I think in the grand scheme of things, I needed to be there and being able to be a rock ( Read more... )

I'm still in awe at your accuracy and precision with that .45 - I kind of hate you a little bit for it. ;p (Who am I kidding?) You'll have to teach me to do better than 70% some day. (We should TOTALLY find a shooting range around here. THAT would be awesome.) :)

When we go home for Christmas, I'm sure my dad wouldn't mind you showing him how it's done again. haha. You definitely were officially adopted as his second daughter when you hit the bulls eye three times out of four on your first try. He was proud.

I'm sorry that you didn't have a better weekend, but from the sounds of things (as odd as this might sound) it was a weekend that you needed. I'm really glad you went up to see granny, mamma Strait and your dad. I know it was emotionally draining, but there is something to be said for a little unburdening.

I love you sis. You know this. I'm here for whatever it is you need... whether you know what it is or not. *hugs*

I was pretty much in awe too...but damn it felt good! It wasn't what I am used to, but if I hadn't been so tired, I probably would have yelled out a great big WOOHOO and did a cartwheel I was so excited! hahah

As for needing the weekend...I really think I did, for a lot of reasons. It gave me a chance to reconnect with family...and to overcome a lot of things that I've been having issues with. The morning she passed, I could have stayed home...but I knew in my heart I needed to be there.

The moment that Calvin took my hand, entwined his fingers with mine and took a deep breath before moving forward to say goodbye to Nanny...I knew there was no way in hell that I was letting go of him and that he needed me. Instead, I tightened my grip on him and didn't let go for as long as he held on to me. I know how important that is...

Sis!!!! I'm sending a huge hug down to Georgia. You have been through so much these past few years!!

I am glad that you did reconnect with your family. I'm also glad that you could blow off some steam (great shots BTW!).

Hey sis! GOSH I miss you!! How are things going there for you?

How is Mama Doyle?

Yes...it's been a rough time...hopefully the rest of the bunch will straighten up and start taking care of themselves. I'd like to go home sometime, just to go home. lol

It's never easy losing family, but it was important for you and for your cousins that you were there. But I'm glad you got some time with Candi's family and your friends too.

Hold tight to what you have, sweetie, it's precious.
