Two Years

Today marks 2 years since we lost Uncle Wally. Steve and I were talking last night about it and how sometimes it seems like it has gone by so fast and yet other days it feels like it just happened the other day. I can't believe it has been two years since our whole family started the journey of not loosing one but two brothers in the same year, within the same 3months of each other.

I know some of the kids are going down to go be with Aunt Bernie and I am sure they need to be there as much as she needs them there. And to get away from this weather - my goodness. I love you guys and you are in my thoughts and prayers and be careful on your trip and have fun and laugh and cry and remember all of the good times. And like Cindy said, dad and Uncle Wally must really be partying up there this week, celebrating Uncle Wally's life because the lightning, storm shows we have been having down here - crazy!

Last night was the first time in my life where I actually thought about going to a basement, most of the time when it comes to storms, I can sleep right through them and not worry about them, but now, that I have two little ones I have to care for, I worry a bit more. The sirens went off and I was mesmerized. It was the game of do we wake up the boys and go down to the basement, or do we waited it out. It was like this for a half hour and we just wind up waiting it out which was good because they called off the sirens, but it was still scary. This is another reason I told Steve why we need to get the basement fixed, at least if we had to wake the boys up we could sleep downstairs on a comfortable couch. When I was telling Brayden about it this morning, he said mom I would have just slept on the treadmill :)

I hope no one suffered too much damage and the only damage that you have is lack of sleep. Uncle Wally we miss you and love you and think of you every day. You are a bright star in the sky. RIP

Miss and love you dad ~ so much.

Much love to all,
