I can't do much else than sit and listen to the playlist I made of my dad's favorite songs. It's pretty old-school...and AWESOME.
On the dreaded one year anniversary of his ascent to heaven (doesn't that sound so much happier than another word I could use?) I stayed home and this is what I did. It was a ROUGH. DAY. And then I found out that my favorite band, the most awesome, amazing band, Needtobreathe, is coming to STL for a FREE concert!!!! It was like a present from above, especially since one of the reasons I love them so much is that they sing about experiences I've had and remind me of my dad. So thanks to whichever Dad up there orchestrated that! :)

I fully intend on posting my "Eric, Part 2" post, just not today. I have to be in the right mood to write, especially when it is emotional content. I don't want anyone to think I am writing to badmouth anyone or take out revenge on Eric by slamming his character on my blog. The story has a good ending, an ending God orchestrated beautifully and hopefully you will be blessed by hearing about it when I finally post the ending. Such suspense. Fun fact: Sometimes I watch the end of movies first because I can't stand the suspense and anxiety I feel throughout the movie if I don't know whether or not it has a happy ending.
My baby brother graduated high school over the weekend and I am one proud big sister! Not because he graduated...I would be proud of him regardless. He's such a great kid, I mean, man! It's hard to believe he is 19 years old! Fun story I just thought of. After Hannah and Jonathan were born, I guess I really still wanted another sibling. When I was 8 and 9 I would BEG my mother to please have another baby. I wanted another baby brother so badly. I begged and begged and prayed and prayed and prayed. When I would blow out my birthday candles I would wish for a baby brother. When I would blow dandelions I would wish for a baby brother. Finally one day my mom brought me into her bedroom and sat me down for a very solemn talk. She told me that my dad had a vasectomy that week, and it would not be possible for me to have another baby brother. Oh, how devastated I was! Mom, did I cry? I'm sure I cried. Fast forward a few weeks. My mom brought me into her bedroom for another talk. She sat me on the bed and told me that she was pregnant! I was elated! God listened to that little 9 year old and gave me the desire of my heart! Once he was born you could not pry me away from him! I was his "Sissy Mama" and have been in love ever since.
Congratulations David! Remember...wear sunscreen.
