    Memories

    Monday, February 16th, 2009

            I haven’t seen my sister in over four years.  I remember when we used to go to Wet n Wild in Arlington and slide on the water slides.  We would have so much fun on the Durstooka(sp.) and the lazy slides, even the Black Hole.  Never rode the Black Hole; i was a little [...]

    A Host of Yellow Daffodils

    Monday, January 19th, 2009

    I never see the first spring daffodil in the yard without thinking of Alexandria and how much she loved not only the flower, but the poetry about them as well.  One poem was simply entitled, “Daffodils”.  I remember her reading it to me.  How I loved the inflection of her voice as she read.  Her [...]

    I Am Glad For Many Things: Esp. Yang

    Saturday, December 6th, 2008

    I am glad for many things, many things, many things, I am glad for many things, that are mine today!  This simple Primary song expresses my gratitude for my many blessings.  Of all the things that I appreciate in Charles, the thing I love most about him is that he gave me my children.  I [...]

    The Christmas Gee

    Saturday, January 26th, 2008

    Alexandria was the Christmas Gee. She would have loved this year’s tree. It was perfectly shaped and the top just brushed the ceiling in the living room. It had such a spicy sweet fragrance! That’s what I love about real trees. You simply can’t duplicate that smell! I don’t [...]

    The piano Gee

    Friday, November 9th, 2007

    For years, the house next door had been a rent-house.  Soon after Page was born in January of 1983, a couple with two daughters moved in.  Actually, the two girls were his from a former marriage, but his current wife had adopted them.  It wasn’t long before their problems resulted in divorce.  I know this [...]

    Days without Yang

    Friday, October 26th, 2007

    I found out this morning that James’ cousin lost her husband yesterday.  No need to say that today was a bad day.  I feel for her and her baby so deeply…there really are no words.
    I remember the night we went home from the hospital after Yang passed away.  I remember looking at her things- she [...]

    I just wanna post something

    Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

    It’s been a while since someone has posted something so I just wanted to post something!!  My sister is always in my thoughts, but this week has been so crazy as are most weeks, that memories come into my mind and pop back out.  Right now I’m sitting in bed next to Tater’s as she [...]

    Whoppers and Secret Meetings

    Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

    I know Yang is telling this story to whoever will listen wherever she goes…So everybody on the other side of the veil and this side who knows us will know this story.
    Yang and I liked to have secret meetings. Translation- we liked to try and sneak food from the kitchen and chow down under our [...]
