This will be short and bittersweet.
I was just in Wisconsin for 10 days to spend time with my family. I would trade everything I have to be with my parents. They are aging and they need someone who wants to be with them. It's not possible right now and the rest is just sad. I miss being there and I don't know how to fix it...YET.
I miss talking nonsense with my Dad and sharing political views with my Mom. I miss petting the head of their old, sweet dog, Honey and feeling her happiness when I touch her.
I miss everything about my sister, Jane.
My brother Andy and his family, Jennifer and Taylor took me in and treated me like royalty. Oh...and let us not forget the ever fantastic Wally...who I understand still looks for me at the top of the stairs.
I am here and I am there. I hope that they just know that there is nothing in this world that I cherish above them. If there is a way, I will get back to them. My family. My first and forever love.
A myriad of rambling thoughts and ideas from an old broad who has been there, done that, bought the T-shirt and threw it away a long time ago. However, this old broad still has a lot to say. Here we go...
Patti, we will be here waiting when you come back. We miss you too and if I did not know better I would be waiting at the top of the stairs looking for you as well!
