I've had a crazy mid-end of the week. Training for a new job... at this point, it's seasonal, but I'm hoping it turns into something more. I've also made a mad dash to the old roommate's house to pick up the last of my stuff. Has to be out by tomorrow, and I'm still not done! Getting Lumpkin's license tomorrow, finally... and sadly, found out about the death of her Great Aunt during a home invasion. The police are investigating and we don't know any details yet.
I'm still listing items on eBay. Some items are handmade or embellished by me and the others are just items that I'm parting with while trying to make room in the new place. Gotta find some quick cash for gas money next week, not to mention gas for Lumpkin's car and lunch money for the both of us. It will be nice to have a steady paycheck again.
Oh, and I almost forgot. Someone brought a gun to Lumpkin's school yesterday. (There's also an article about that, but I prefer not to identify her school.) I didn't find out about it until yesterday evening. Thankfully, there was not intention to harm anyone but himself, and he was talked out of it.
Hold your loved ones a little tighter, and don't forget to tell them you love them. You never know when the last time is that you will see them.
There's magic in a Mother's touch,
And sunshine in her smile.
There's love in everything she does
To make our lives worthwhile.
We can find both hope and courage
Just by looking in her eyes.
Her laughter is a source of joy,
Her words are warm and wise.
There is a kindness and compassion
To be found in her embrace,
And we see the light of heaven
Shining from a Mother's face.
Five years have passed since I heard your sweet voice, saw your smiling face or heard your lilting laugh... I love you and miss you terribly. I know some day we'll meet again, but how I long for you.
