What to Post about?

I am not sure what all I should post about...nothing too much to tell of these days I guess.

I have been to two funerals in the last week and a half, and there are two other death's that I knew of and wasn't able to attend one of them and the other one was a grandparent of one of B's friends. Sad and emotional week and a half.

I had dinner tonight with a good friend. We don't see each other often, nor talk very often, but I do enjoy the time when we get together. We had a nice dinner at Panera, but didn't solve any of the world's problems. We were going to be 3, but only 2 due to the other friend having a new grand-daughter. They are having some issues with jaundice, the mom's (her daughter) milk is coming in, and everyone is tired. So, she missed tonight. They have been in my thoughts since last Friday. She went in to be monitored due to high BP and had a sweet baby girl in the wee hours of the morning on Saturday. Those of you who have had a baby know of the tiring first days at home. I will continue to remember them and say prayers for them as they continue this journey of parenthood and grand-parenthood.

Once again, during bedtime discussion, B surprised me. Bedtime is when he asks the deepest questions - very hard questions. This is also when he shares his random thoughts. Tonight he was showing E how "paw paw" (my grandfather, their great-grand-father) would run his fingers up B's back and arm and then pop him on the top of the head. He asked me to do this to him too. Of course my eyes burned with tears at this memory of my grandfather. It is funny the things that he remembers about life. I am so glad this is one of his memories. He also asked me if I remembered living in the apartment when we moved back here. He reminded me of the night we got a phone call from Uncle Kyle (my brother) to let me know that my grandfather was ill. B remembers me crying, packing a bag to leave, him crying and wanting to go with me and that we didn't leave that night but stayed at home until the weekend. Maybe he is just perceptive to the emotions around him and the stronger emotions (is that what I am trying to say?) are the ones that stick with him. Interesting boy I have. His other question tonight was "I have a question about dying. Do you still celebrate birthdays after you die?" He also went to see his first play today - The Frog and the Toad, presented at a high school here locally. He had to tell me and E about it as well. I think the ride on the bus was as much or more exciting than the play itself.

E is not asleep and is calling for me...I guess I should go help her fall asleep.
