Things sometimes just work out. Sometimes it takes a life-changing event, or even 2 to bring things together. This was the case for my week. We were planning my sister's memorial when my sons friend lost her mom suddenly. I think that the combination of those 2 deaths pushed my son into realizing how precious family is and that we don't know how much time we have on this Earth. So Casey decided that he needed to come up from around the Austin area to be with me for the memorial and just enjoy our visit. I couldn't have been happier to have his company! And when it came time for me to read my speech, I started out fine. But that last page I got choked up and couldn't finish. Casey finished it for me. š„² We visited for 3 days and talked about old family memories. Very healing to have the adult children around when big things happen. We need the reconnecting. I needed to be the mama and support my son and cook for him too. Kids, go visit your mama. Our days aren't promised!
