Oh my gosh. What is a squirrel?? You all know it as a furry and cute creature who gathers nuts and runs up trees. Here is what I see it as... a distraction. A diversion. Something that takes us off a path of normalcy.
I wrote about my friend Anna. That was September 2nd. that she passed. Well, here we are on the 16th. In this past week my husband lost his favorite uncle, Pat. This was the guy who fished, hung out, and made everyone feel Special.
Here is a bigger OMG... Taite lost a classmate this week. This person chose to skip out on school early, NOT wear a seatbelt, and was ejected from the car. OMG. That is all I have to say. In fact, I am going to pause...
I am back finishing the draft I started on Friday. Taite is at the funeral. She spent the weekend with friends. They attended the wake, and now they are together again. The classmate was half Ojibwe. She has been around his family and is seeing the traditions of the tribe along with the outreach of support. Every time I look at her, she just looks sad. This kids wasn't her close friend, but was close friends with SOME of her close friends. He was her classmate and he died in a car crash that could have been avoided. 4 other people where in the car. 2 are still in the hospital. 1 is on life support. I pray for those kids, and I pray for the parents. WORST nightmare ever.
These past 2 weeks have brought out SO much reflection. How short and precious life is and how we all need to slow down and take time to be thankful for our health and our lives. Don't take small things for granted. Hug those you love. Tell people around you that you love them. Don't be afraid to show your emotions. Cry, talk, just be real...
Jackson didn't go on a walk today. He has been a little panicky. Every time I walk to the door he follows me, thinking I am going to leave him. Funny dog. He did ride with me to drop the kids off at school. He saw a squirrel and did his famous SQUIRREL SCREAM. It was so funny.
I am not really feeling funny right now. I actually don't feel good. That is what alfredo sauce and lactose sensitive will do to a person. OH, but it was SO good. I think I may take a nap. Good thing I wrote that down, because I usually don't like to admit that. I just don't feel good.
