Rest In Peace Sweet Friend

How do I explain the tears flowing down my face for a life that only flashed on my screen? How can my heart hurt so bad when I've never even heard her voice? How do I say goodbye to somebody I've never even met?

I don't have words, only sadness and sorrow that a light has been snuffed out for good. I've never met her in real life. I've never even talked to her on the phone. All I know is she was a friend, as dear to my heart as if she had been near me. In a lot of ways, she was. I will miss her.

Rest in peace in the arms of Jesus my  Sweet Friend.

She's Pretty

The boy's school had a book fair. Their class went "window shopping" on the first day. Each student got to put something on their wish list. It was then up to the parents whether to send money so their child can get that book or not. I asked the boy if he wanted to buy something but he kept on waffling. I just decided to put money in his wallet. I told him that if he wants to buy a book he can. If he doesn't want to, don't.

He did buy something.  When I asked him to show me what he bought, this is what he took out of his backpack:

I was surprised as I was expecting a book about penguins or ants (ugh!), even Arthur Meets the President: An Arthur Adventure (Arthur Adventure Series) as he has been watching that on DVD. I thought it was for his friend but he said no. I then asked him why he chose this book. He said, "She's pretty", while pointing to Rapunzel from Tangled.

 There wasn't much I could say after that, :)

Magic Marker Monday - My Portrait

The resident artist drew this. When I asked him who it was, he looked at me like I should have known.

What do you think of my portrait? :)
