As the years pass by there is not much that I can say. So I pray and know that although our hearts will always be broken on this earth, God has Alastor Avery in His tenderly loving care. I wonder what he would look like ? Would he be as kind as little sister Shea Avery Marie? Would he be the mirrored image of big brother Harrison James? I know he would have started kinder this year. But I know all we can do on this end is hold him close to our hearts until we see him again. Grandfather says it all the time, God gave us an Ambassador of Heaven to have on this earth for the short time we did.  We pray for all of us hurting as the day, weeks, months, years pass by. But spending eternity with this beautiful boy is a goal I want to meet. So make sure you will stroll through heaven with us Alastor Avery when we meet you there someday.

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful that even though Alastor Avery was here so briefly I will never forget his laughter, his big blue eyes, his funny little expressions. I will not forget him and I am very thankful for that.

This little walks in my front door, she is eating a chocolate chip muffin top. Then she announces, "Choco milk, pllllleeeeaaaassse."  After that she insists "Brush my teeth, brush my teeth". We go to get her special toothbrush. We put the toothpaste on it and she says to me, "Oooh it sparkles Grandma, look at it sparkle. ' Then we play at least 12 rounds of Banana Bash and everytime the end of the game is getting close she makes the best facial expressions cause she knows that monkey is gonna jump for joy! Her daddy plays with us and he wins, he wins again and he wins a third time! She is tickled pink cause she is a daddy's girl. She spent the day with her daddy and his friend and his kids. They go swimming and she is wearing her bathsuit under her dress. She tells us those are strawberries on my bathsuit but not the real kind. They have to leave because mommy needs to be at work in the morning very early. My house is quiet and I say to my husband, God gives us exactly what we need when He knows exactly what we need! THANKFUL

Pink Saturday

I try not to get caught up in the nonsense that many revolve around. But I saw this Barbie Anna May Wong doll on ebay. People were budding lots of money to own her. She is available at the Barbie dot com site of Mattel. A few years ago I read Anna May's book. It was quite sad to see the prejudice she had to deal with because of her race, Chinese. Although she was extremely talented she always seemed to be on the back burner of the Hollywood elites (shocking right??) I highly recommended her book although it is an older book.

Although she is legend today all the punishment she dealt with, the pain, sorrows, prejudice I believe cut her life short. 1905-1961

Asking for prayer for my cousin Joanne who lost her husband Arron to a short illness this past week. They were together 40 years.  He was a really wonderful man and very kind hearted. Thank you.
