Good Friday!

It was a great Friday.  The weather is beautiful and warm.  I love it!  It's really helping my mood.  I was sad a little today while I listened to the Fish since they were playing Tunnel, but Third Day.  That song was part of Emmy's slideshow at her remembrance.  I just miss her sweet face and her sweet soul!  I still can't believe that she's not here anymore.  I hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On days like today, I feel like it will be easier each day to go on and live life.  Only because life here on Earth is beautiful and wonderful in it's own ways.  I don't like the beetle, baby wasp??, and spider that have decided to come in my home since we're in and out so much and the weather is nice and the windows are open...  however, I'll take it.  It's wonderful to see the sun and be drenched in God's light!  He is the light in my life!

I spent most of my day volunteering my time.  I think that this is my calling.  I know that this will help me get through and honor Emmy's life.  I had a meeting with Crowne Plaza and it was great!  I'm so excited about the Down Syndrome Association of Atlanta's fall conference.  We're bringing DownsEd from the UK to Atlanta!  Sept 9-11.  The facilities are great and I can now see it in my mind and it's so exciting!

I spent the rest of my day working on Busting Boredom.  I have my ups and downs with this, but today was a HUGE up!  I have confirmed, in my mind, that I will file the incorporation papers next week and continue on my path to become a 501(c)3 non profit.  I visited patients today, gave them bead kits, bib kits, magazines, etc, etc.  It was nice to see them smiling.  There weren't as many patients on the floor, probably because it's a holiday.

All of this because my Mother-in-Law is wonderful and comes to watch the girls while I do this on Fridays.  Jeff has been a huge help with the girls on Friday's, too.  I'm really blessed!  My world would be complete if I could have my Emmy back!

I miss her more than words can describe.  I have a hole in my heart and I'm not sure that it will ever get smaller.  I knew on that fateful day that I would never see her sweet face again, but I guess I'm starting to realize that never means NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!
