Last night, my family had just returned from a Chorus Concert my son Tyger had performed in and my phone began to ring. To my wonderful surprise it was MY SISTER!!!!
Billie said she had read my postings and wanted to call me to let me know she is doing well. We had a good little talk. She was enjoying the weather and fiddling with her plants while sitting out on the deck. She and Lonnie have gourds sprouting up along with some other seedlings they planted recently. Billie is keeping busy with her daily therapies and household chores. She is enjoying her visit with Terry and let me know that Taylor's High School Graduation is going to take place June 5, 2009. They have a lot to do to prepare for this and she is working on all of her "motherly duties" for it. The hardest part of the conversation was when she asked me when I would be arriving for the graduation weekend. It was difficult to find the words but I had to tell her I would not be able to take the time off of work and that funds were not so good to pay for the trip right now. I really hope she understands.... she said "That will be fine." Well, I'm not "fine" with it but I have to deal with it. I don't regret using the time/money for the past two trips up there to be with Billie but I wish I could have managed both. Would love to be there to see Taylor accept her diploma! I hope that someone takes a lot of photos.... maybe Taylor could dig out her "old" digital camcorder/camera for this event. (Remember, the one your mom and dad got you for your Sweet 16?)
I love you Billie! Keep up the great work!
Lonnie, you are top notch in my book man! Your love and dedication to your family has been a great blessing and there is absolutely no way to express it enough. I am honored to call you my brother and I love you more than words can say!!!
I hope the family gets to enjoy a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!!!!!
