I Never thought I'd laugh again
Last July, my best friend from grade school asked if we wanted to get tickets with her to see the Smothers Brothers. Normally I'd have jumped at …
Recently retired elementary teacher-- I was divorced in 2004 after 34 yrs of marriage (I wanted out. ) In Dec 2006 I met an amazing man, another teacher, also now retired, on eHarmony. We were married on 3-17-08. We each had an older daughter and a younger son. My son Michael was the youngest of the 4. We lost him very unexpectedly on May 22, '09, at the age of 28. This has been a devastating experience and we are trying to learn to cope.

Hi Sunshine ~ I love your new Avatar! Blessings and peace ~ Debbie, Corrie's Mom
A day or two after Kala's accident I opened her CD player. The CD was entitled THERE'S NEVER A RIGHT TIME TO SAY GOODBYE. When my husband cleaned out her car and brought her stuff home he placed her notebook on the table. (she was a senior in high school). It fell open to a spelling test. His eyes went immediately to, THE DRIVER SWERVED TO THE LEFT TO AVOID BEING BUFFETED BY THE OTHER CAR. I knew she was telling us what happened. Kala had swerved to the left, then over corrected and lost control when a car changed lanes and almost hit her. I have NO doubts my child talks to me. Our "rainbow" icon is a new one. I had begun writing journals about my lost rainbow and trying to find my rainbow again. Within a week we had a new icon to send....a rainbow! When we open our eyes it's amazing what we can see. I can't wait to find out what Kala will do next!
Thinking of you and sending a great big warm hug your way. I hope today is easy on your heart. Love, Teri.
I have been on on and off. I always check in on everyone, somedays I am just not in the talking mood. I was at a conference on Friday all it was good. I am actually doing OK this week. I have my very tearful moments but I just feel more ... even might be the word. My son and a friend are coming home from college today for the night so that will be fun and my other two are just busy with HS things , I hope you are doing well, thank you for checking on me. Love you Wendy
