Give them a !!

E&B made birthday cards for Uncle Fun (hubs). 

Mantle with the cards from family

Want to know the sad part. Hubs has 2 parents, 4 sisters, 2 brothers , 5 nieces, 11 nephews. Guess how many of those cards are from his family.  1 1/2. 

His oldest sister & family sent one! Thanks M

Parents sent one with the wrong date & the wrong age written in it( I give them a 1/2 for  their poor effort ).

What about the other 3 sisters, 2 brothers, and all those nieces and nephews!  The same nieces and nephews who all get a card with $$ from their uncle. Okay, so say you didn't have card to mail, nor stamps, nor paper, or xxxxx.  How many picked up the phone to wish him a Happy Birthday. ( 0 ) 

This week is filled with their families birthday's  ( starts with a nephew, then hubs, then another nephew, then hubs dad ). Oh yeah, their is a huge party next weekend for their dad, who's having a milestone Birthday, with a zero in it, like my hubs. So trying to say, when the family all lived in the same state, all 4 were celebrated at the same time, so they know about all of them.

They are making it really hard to go to the FIL party & put on a fake smile. 




So the cards on the mantle. ( from my cousin, me, E, B, my sister, my mom, his sister, his parents,  my grandma )

A Cousin

I found out that Andrew & Sammy had a cousin join them in heaven today.

I am sad, that my sister has to endure the pain of a miscarriage.

I am glad that I can be there to answer all of her questions.

I am mad that her local doctors office, chose to hide information from her.

I am sad that she had to find out that her child had no heartbeat,2 hours away from home.

I am mad that she lives so far away.

I feel her pain, that she had to undergo a procedure with no anesthesia.

I am angry, that science can find ways to easily end babies lives, but can't find a way to keep them alive.

I am sad, that I am the only one, besides her husband, who knows. I feel like I am grieving for about 100 people right now.

I'm confident that Andrew & Sammy are showing their cousin the playground & their grandpa is there watching over them.



I ask you to say a prayer for women who suffer miscarriages in silence.



Why is it that our society can talk about abortions and gay marriage, but we can't talk about babies lost to miscarriage.
 

Grant me the serenity

Not to punch someone today!!

I asked Siri on my phone, where are the stupid people. She replied I can not show your entire contact list! I love Siri sometimes, she makes me laugh. 

So the day is going to be interesting.
