Lovey Lovey LOVEY!!!!! I can't say enough how great it was to Skype with you. I just needed to see you. You are still my gorgeous boy. I feel bad I don't have any pictures for this week. I have been working like crazy. Still no snow so no skiing. Everyone has just been lounging around the house and all doing our fair share of eating. LOTS of friends over and sleeping the night. Especially fun to have Mike Hardman, Jake and Dave around so much with Josh. Michael has been in and out and working like crazy too...he's made some good money this break. Megan went to St. George for New Year's with Kylie and crew. Tomorrow is the last official day of holidays. Josh gets to stay until next weekend so I AM A HAPPY MOMMA!! Sam had a last minute New Year's party and the house rocked. I love it. I love that we know so many incredible kids. I watched the ball drop in NY and wished I was in a hotel room above it all. Just looking at all those people made me feel claustrophobic, and you know how I hate to be cold...but I really liked the idea of watching from above in a LOVELY hotel room. Let's make a plan for it after Sam is back and we have our first New Years with NO MORE ANYBODY'S GONE!!!!!!!
It's been a sad several days. Michael, Michelle's brother that lived with her, died. And Michelle is the one who found him. The funeral is Tuesday. Robert and Bronson are toughing it out...but you can imagine how hard it is. When I took dinner their mom just cried and cried and kept saying "He's my baby...he's my baby". I could barely breathe. It felt so real to me, as if it was one of you.
Then, on the same day, we found out that Karli, Kori's little sister overdosed after having a party while her Mom was out of town. Her funeral is Friday. Kori has been through so much lately. My heart just breaks for all involved. I am SO GRATEFUL that we have not had to deal with any of that drug mess in our family so far....and I PRAY that we never do. Such nasty, hard, near to impossible to conquer crap.. I hope my fear with all the generations we have of addiction has soaked you all to the bone. Such senseless loss. Now all we have is the memory of their love in our lives.
