no place like home

grateful to be home... still uneasy about not being by my brother's side

i want to decorate the house for fall... feels unimportant and silly
i have to keep life going for my little boys. i'm having a hard time pretending i'm not just so sad right now.
i'm exhausted. need to catch up on my sleep. the boys are home from school today for columbus day. maybe tomorrow i will decorate.

i'm depressed. adam says probably a little hungover from all the emotion.

i'm so happy to be home with my honey. i missed all my guys so much.

please keep my brother, Ronnie and his family in your prayers. he has a long long road ahead. and he's not out of the woods yet.

the JOY of the Lord is my strength

my brother and nephew were victims of a random act of violence this past Saturday night in West Texas.
we've been living a horrible nightmare of reality every since.

i am reminded daily that even in the face of tragedy, God is good.
my brother has such a great support system of friends here. we couldn't make it without their love, kindness, presence and prayers.

please keep our family in your prayers.
