Well, it has been 2 weeks ago today that we said good-bye to Memaw. When will life fell like it did before? When will the tears stop? When will we be able to go shopping again and find real joy in it? I know that all of these things will come, but when? I think about her everyday. I dreamed about her 2 nights ago. It is so painfully real, but surreal at the same time. What will my life look like now that she is gone? My dad's dad died in 1979 so I never knew him. My mom's dad and my dad's mom both died in September 1988. I was only 5 so I didn't really understand. I had 27 wonderful years with my grandmother and I miss her terribly.
I was very blessed to have the kind of grandmother that I did. She was always involved in mine and my sister's lives. My mom says that we are "klanish" but that's OK with me. I remember sharing my birthday with Memaw. My birthday is February 4 and her's was February 9th, so for many years we celebrated together. On Christmas morning my grandmother would come to our house to see what Santa Claus had brought us. She would come in her PJ's and we would be so excited to show what all we had gotten. We would eat breakfast and then she'd go back home. We did LOTS of shopping together. She always wanted to buy me something everytime we'd go shopping. The last time we went she insisted on a pair of earrings for me. I thought that they were too expensive, but she meant I was having those earrings (She thought that I never wore enough jewelry). I will cherish those earrings forever. They mean more to me than I ever thought they would.
On a different note, Reily has strep throat AGAIN. It has been a little over a month since the first episode with strep and here we go again. He started putting his fingers in his ears on Saturday, but we were out at the ball field all day and it was really windy. I just thought that his ears hurt from being in the wind all day. Well, him putting his fingers in his ears continued and he has been fussy and hasn't really been eating. I hate putting him on antibiotics, but I guess you do what you have to do. The nurse weighed him today and he weighed 28.2 lbs. A VERY big boy.
While we were seeing Dr. Dieble I asked her about potting training. I told her that this morning he pooped in his diaper and brough me his wipes and diaper rash cream. I couldn't believe it! Is it really time to be potty training? Am I ready for all of this? Well, ready or not Dr. Diebel suggested going ahead with potty training. So wish us luck.
Until next time...
