My mom was 41 when she died, with 3 teenagers and we all needed her in different ways. I find that I'm slow to teach my kids the things they need to know to live without me. Maybe that will force God's hand, or something. :)Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239442909091675067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7259299861547446785.post-22207154404182103252012-01-05T07:40:34.292-08:002012-01-05T07:40:34.292-08:00Hey - I'm so sorry about the missing journal. ...Hey - I'm so sorry about the missing journal. I keep a journal for my girls as well, and I love to go back and read it, especially on days when the kiddos are less than charming. Reading past entries reminds of the cute things they do, and how in love with them I am. <br /><br />I have had that same thought - that if something happened to me, Noel and Juliet would know that I loved them. Is that weird that we both have those thoughts? What does that say about us?Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929850545921901610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7259299861547446785.post-72165703681039705482012-01-04T18:37:58.232-08:002012-01-04T18:37:58.232-08:00This post reminds me of a line in one of my favori...This post reminds me of a line in one of my favorite books of all time. It's also, incidently, a book that I wrote. It goes like this: I want to leave my mark on something before I die, and not just the neighbors lawn. :)<br /><br />Sorry about your son's journal. I hate to be the stereotypical male following in your husband's footsteps, but it's bound to show up somewhere. Great post, Kim.

I once put my algebra book in the freezer as an adolescent. It is in a place where it usually is not so it seems lost but it is not. It is misplaced. Your subconscious mind may have even put it somewhere. Sounds weird, but maybe. I think it's possible 'you' misplaced it to agitate certain thoughts that needed to push to the fore. Maybe not. But take a look around (inside.)<br /><br />I know I sound like Wayne Dyer or something but take a breather. Sit. And listen.<br /><br />And please don't stop posting on Wednesdays.

He sends e-mails, pictures, videos, etc. so his daughter can look at them someday. In the day of digital, that may be the way to go.<br />Still, I hope you find the journal. It will turn up eventually, I know it will. You're such a good mommy for keeping a journal in the first place. You'll be blessed because of it!Emily R.
