So Tired

I am so dang tired of winter. I'm so tired of the yelling in the other room. I'm so tired of snow and ice and cold and sickness and Kentucky. Ugh. I'm so tired of not summer.

Joy Died

It's been almost two weeks since Joy died. I had really wanted her to get better. I prayed that God would let her get better, but I guess he wanted her with Him instead. 

People always say "Well, she's doing so much better now." But we're not. We're not doing better at all. Patrick isn't doing better. Their kids aren't doing better. Her mom, dad, sister, brother, cousins, friends...we're all sad. It's nice to know we'll see her again, but right now now we hurt. 

Joy died and so did a peace of our hearts. 

Just One Thing

 

And there is just one thing I long for: summer. Warm, cozy, humid, green, glorious summer

The Grim Gloom

 

Winter is like a dark, yet white and cold, sheet layed on top of us, keeping the sun from shining on to our sad hearts.
