I'm in Louisiana. My papaw (mom's father) died last week. I haven't been home in seven years. He never even met my children. I'm having a hard time with that. My dad (who lives here, too) sent his wife, Terry, to pick me and the kids up from Houston so I could go to the funeral. We're on day 5 of a 7-day stay

I'm so sorry about your loss.
what a trip for you to be back...
of course I selfishly want you to come on over here and let us throw you a party, babysit your kids, whatever you need.

Oh Mandy. I am so sorry about your Papaw. I am glad to hear that things are going so well for you there. That is very cool about your step-mother and meeting all of your brothers and sisters. It's very cool that she parents with similiar values and way cool that you have a sibling the same age as S. I look forward to hearing all the stories. We miss you so much and our anxious for your return.

oh mama...
