I'm sitting here and got an overwhelming smell of fresh squeezed Orange Juice.

I think the ghosties are thirsty?!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Wow!!!

I sometimes get a wiff of Old Spice Aftershave.. that is what my Pap use to wear!!!


Well, things have gone from crazy to nuts here in town.. Remember all the parents that we have lost in the past 3 weeks.. Now we have lost a student in DS12's class.. WE are all just numb... besides his BFF and cousin is a good friend to DS...and DS is so worried about her.. .and yesterday was also her birthday when her cousin(boy) took his life..

AT TWELVE??

That is just too awful for words.

to DS.

Geesh Nancy. Your town has been through so much lately!

How is my little man doing? Give him big bear hugs from me. I can't imagine what he is going though right now. Just give him lots of love and maybe a notebook to write down his thoughts if he doesn't want to talk.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Thanks gals!!!
He evidently found out last night when two of his guy friends txt to call immediately.. He told us that they said that and I told him to call..but he never told me what was said... while we were eating lunch he said "mom, I'm sad".. why babe? than he opened up the txt msg and gave it to me.. I just didn't know what to say... I just told him that I was so sorry.. than we talked about his little gf (not real gf) but friend that is a girl! (LOL) and the fact it was her birthday yesterday... but the rumors and I heard crap is going on now.. I told my kids that until you hear it from the parents you don't believe anything.. DH did call a friend of ours that is also the uncle..he said that everyone is just dumbfounded (as is expected) and that he would keep us updated and that he was actually going to call later tonight to check on DS because he knew they were friends...
I did give him a notebook and I told him that I'm always available to talk..and I just kept telling my kids like always that they can use their notebooks, txt or just have a one on one with me/dad anytime...
DS is one that hides his feelings so I worry about him a lot... but I know he is strong.he's got me in him!!!
I'll keep you posted!!! OH, he just came in and said thanks for the hug but if you want you can come on out and do it yourself next time!!!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

OH and than we find out.. that there was a party in town (my older kids opted not to go...) thank you!!!! I've taught them well.. anyway, the party got busted for none-other than underage drinking...and lets just say some athletes were involved.. HELLO??? UH DUH! OH, and to believe several kids thought it smart to run from the cops!!!!!

hopefully there will never be a need for that kind of hug. But there might be a real possibility that I will be able to give a bear hug in person if need be. More on that as early as Monday.

Glad your kids have a head on their shoulders! Good job Mom!

stupid kids, never run from the cops. It's a small town, they will find out who was there.

Oh Nancy, that is just so sad...Can I send you a book you can share with the kids or parents, anybody who needs it. Someone gave me this book, it's called the Next Place, when I lost my mom to suicide 5 years ago. PM your address, I'll get one in the mail to you on Monday...

The Next Place… Warren Hanson

The next place that I go will be as peaceful and familiar as a sleepy summer Sunday and a sweet, untroubled mind.
And yet… it won’t be anything like any place I’ve even been…or seen… or even dreamed of in the place I leave behind.
I won’t know where I’m going, and I won’t know where I’ve been, as I tumble through the always and look back towards the when.
I’ll glide beyond the rainbows. I’ll drift about the sky. I’ll fly into the wonder, without ever wondering why.
I won’t remember getting there. Somehow I’ll just arrive. But I’ll know that I belong there and will feel much more alive than I have ever felt before. I will be absolutely free of the things that I held onto that were holding onto me.
The next place that I go will be so quiet and so still. The whispered song of sweet belonging will rise up to fill the listening sky with joyful silence, and with unheard harmonies of music made by no one playing , like a hush upon a breeze.
There will be no room for darkness in that place of living light. Where an ever-dawning morning pushes back the dying night.
The very air will fill with brilliance, as the brightly shining sun and the moon and half a million stars are married into one.
The next place that I go won’t really be a place at all. There won’t be any seasons – winter, summer, spring or fall –
Nor a Monday, nor a Friday, Nor December, Nor July, and the seconds will be standing still…while hours hurry by.
I will not be a boy or a girl, a woman or a man. I’ll simply be just, simply, me. No worse or better than. My skin will not be dark or light. I won’t be fat or tall. The body I once lived in won’t be part of me at all.
I will finally be perfect,
I will be without a flaw.
I will never make one more mistake, or break the smallest law.
And the me that was impatient, or was angry or unkind, will simply be a memory, The me I left behind.
I will travel empty-handed.
There is not a single thing I have collected in my life that I would ever want to bring
Except,
the love of those who loved me, and the warmth of those who cared. The happiness and magic that we shared.
Though I will know the joy of solitude… I’ll never be alone. I’ll be embraced by all the family and friends I’ve ever known. Although I might not see their faces, all out hearts will beat as one, and the circle of our spirits will shine brighter than the sun.
I will cherish all the friendship I was fortunate to find, all the love and all the laughter in the place I leave behind.
All these good things will go with me. They will make my spirit glow. And the light will shine forever in the next place that I go.

Oh, Nancy, that poor kid. Sad to be so troubled at such a young age. PD to the family and friends.
