The Trip
Walking past the room
I heard the young man say
Aunt Emily and Grandma
Want you to go on a trip today
The trip it may be long
I know you need to go
But before you leave
I just want to let you know
I love you every morning
I love you every night
I love you with the dawn of day
And in the evening twilight
He was talking to his mom
As she lay there in the bed
Her eyes were closed so softly
A cool cloth on her head
Her skin was cool and waxy
Light shone upon her face
Her body small and frail
This man looked out of place
He kissed her gently on the forehead
As he said good bye
I quickly turned away from them
Before he could see me cry
Her breaths came short and shallow
Until they came no more
She has left upon her trip
Without walking through the door
The trip she’s taking is not long
She won’t have long to wait
Until Grandma and Aunt Emily
Meet her at the gate

Tell Her
Whisper in her ear
Brush the hair from her face
Don’t keep the secret from her
Tell her of the better place
Her heart is beating strongly
But her breaths are getting weak
Break the bonds and let her go
To the glory land she seeks
Gently kiss her forehead
Hold her fingers in your hand
Tell her it’s ok to go
To the Promised Land

You think you are safe
As the sun shines upon your face
A blanket of light wrapped around you
You think he will run
In the opposite direction
As your family gathers about
He does not fear light
He fears no person
Death has no fear

ok,i keep checking. i have a list on the right. my watched blogs. everyone has a zero by their name. that means they have not come and blogged. what am i supposed to do?? i have gotten into the habit of answering peoples blogs even. how am i gonna answer them if no one posts them?
i think that you all should check out my watched blogs, and make sure you post something for me to read when i sit at home all day because the rain is pouring down, and i dont have to work.
don't you know it is your jobs to keep me entertained on such a boring day?? geez.
what is a woman to do!!!
i had to go to the means of readign new peoples blogs. you know what that does?? it makes my watched blogs list longer. now i will just have more zeros to look at.
ok,no rush now. i wont be home from work until 8pm, doing twelve tomorrow. and i wont have time to read in the morning. well, maybe a few.
huggggggssssssss

'cept lay back and take it easy today.
i went to bed about 4 am, then the phone rang just after nine this morning, so i was up. it was ok because i work day shift tomorrow, and need to be up so i will go to sleep at a decent hour tonight.
i am now working swing shift. drives me nuts. don't know if i am coming or going. feel really odd going into work at 3 in the afternoon. the weekend i did eves, the next two days i will do 12 hour day shifts. i do hope they don't keep this up for the next two months. new schedule should come out in the next day or two.
i just laid back here in the apartment today. my day off and it POURED rain. i had no desire to go out in the COLD rain. who said it was hot in Louisiana??? someone lied. lol.
this weekend i am expecting my oldest daughter and the middle grandson. i am excited. seems like more than a month since i last saw them. i wish my daughter was braver and would bring down the other two grandbabies that live in illinois. two more months and i will be able to hold them all!
maybe oldhoglover will hop on that bike of his and ride on down to illinois to give me a ride while i am home? i will overlook the fact that it is red. he can be my first friend to see my new kitchen!
anyone near seattle? i am hoping that is my next assignment. would love to get together with anyone who lives in that area. hmm, i know holydad lives around there somewhere. i think rugged is in oregon, a little distance there. anyone else?? no guarentee, but i have my fingers crossed to be there the end of june. if not there, my california license might come in by then.
anyone got an extra $24,000 laying around? that is how much it will cost me to do online training to be an RN. it is a 4 year course and supposedly recognized in the biggest portion of the states. but then i will have to hire a tutor to help me get through math. a big thought here in the back of my mind. i am doing the work already. too bad they won't just test me on my abilities and give me the license.
kk, off i go to bore someone else.
huggggggssssss

what to post about.
haha. got ya here didnt it?? better than the red underwear?
everyone is posting about lost loves. lost moms. new loves. i could post on two of those, but it would be copycatting, or just wanting to cry on someones shoulder. (whine would be more like it, i can do that well)
i am really into nancys story. you can tell she is not telling "all", only what is necessary to tell, and i appreciate her telling it. my story would be on mental abuse, so if someone needs to know about how to stay in a mentally abusive relationship, i am your girl. give me a holler. i know that nancys story is being read by someone who needs to "hear" it. thank you for continuing nancy.
been reading on mark. hugggggggssssssss to you hoglover. life goes one day at a time, and i know you are aware of that. i cannot say i know how you are feeling, as i have not lost a spouse in the same way. but i have lost someone i love in the same manner.
not ready to give the sob story on my mom yet. so we will have to read ummmmmm, who was that?? i read two? dang. well, whoever posted on their mom, look to the right to see if i read you,and then holler here so the others can read. one was a guy and one was a lady. they were both good stories. really touching.
aren't i terrible?? my brain is not functioning tonight/this morning. but then, does it ever really?
and unlike mary and bruce, idont have a new love story to tell. (i could really whine here).
so, i dont know what to post on.
so i just babbled
lol
hugggggggssssss

to do anything at all. and i didn't.
i worked until one am. then i came home and didnt even go to bed until 4 am . i do not like working evenings. i always feel like crap the next day. today was the next day. so therefore it was not the day to feel good.
i hate to crash right when i get home. my mornings are wasted, so i want to have a bit of a night. i just did too much of a bit. so when i went to bed, i just passed right out. silly me. i didnt put my machine on, so now i really felt like crap.
i have mentioned before that i have sleep apnea. i use a machine called a cpap at night, so i don't have episodes where i dont breathe. last night i crashed and didnt use it. my body does not get the appropriate amount of oxygen when i dont use it.
so i have felt like crap all day. eating tylenol. didnt even dress.
nope, today was not the day to do anything.
now i am going to bed, and i am putting that dang machine on to sleep with. i hate it, but i hate feeling like crap worse.
huggggggsssss

bruce, quietman, told me to just put up the picture of willow, and say nothing about it. so i did, and they still did not let it show.
what makes them God in these decisions?? i have put up photos of my grandchildren before, and they let them show. i have seen photos of other children posted.
what do they think they are accomplishing by not allowing my friends to view a photo of my granddaughter? the only thing they accomplished is aggitating me. unless i know secret codes on how to contact other members here in ff, i cannot share one of the best things in my life with my friends.
don't worry, i am not leaving because of it. i will stay. i will just have to make a stronger attempt at cracking codes.
huggggggssssss
