10th Grade Q2 grades are in

He's had a tough year.  Sometimes he really tries but many days he's indifferent. I know school is so much harder for him, and while he doesn't complain.. I know.

I've always told him to give his best... and I know this is his best FOR RIGHT NOW. 3.528


Praying grades pick up next year and his senior year so he can get into whatever college he wants.  Not sure we could ever afford Baylor. It's what he's always known. I know that none of this is a surprise to God.. He sees.

Lord, help him to buckle down and really care. Amen.

Goodbye to Uncle Johnny

A 6am call is never "normal" and I knew something was wrong. My poor mama had to call and tell me that her brother, the patriarch of our family... my Uncle John was dying. Brain bleed. 911. Ambulance. Hospital. Aunt Jeanne. Can't go visit. Covid. Ventilator. I heard all of those words. None of them were sinking in. Too surreal. He was fine. Too heartbreaking, my Aunt just lost her sister TOO OVERWHELMING. I CAN'T GO BE WITH MY FAMILY. Then the call came that he was off of life support, and he died. My Uncle John, big burly Uncle Johnny... was gone. My Aunt Jeanne posted on Facebook. So I posted... then Auntie T... And then mom posted... and our hearts broke.  Just broke.   Every time we talk  - we just can't make sense of it. I know in time.. it will sink in.  He will not be there at the airport when I get home next trip. He won't be at Christmas or at the table eating sauce.  He's gone. BUT I WILL REMEMBER. I will tell the stories and I will keep him ali...

The big D in the Big D was never the plan...

Today is a sad day to write.  Divorce. Truly sad! And a day I NEVER thought would happen to me... again. I found out, the divorce is final.  Your world Tristan is forever altered.  And I did that. I was part of that and I am truly sorry.  Your dad and I were married for a little over 15 years. We were SO different but had so much in common too.  But when the things we had in common all disappeared, so did we.  And for that, I'm truly sorry. We tried Re|Engage twice... two years of our life. We tried years of counseling but what we each needed, the other just couldn't seem to meet. So I chose to leave and keep us safe. I prayed for YEARS and finally knew, I gave all I could and it takes two to mend.  It took two to break.. but it ALWAYS takes two to mend and Daddy just wasn't willing. He said no. But, I will do my very best to honor your dad and be respectful of him.  Our #1 priority is to parent you and parent you well.   I know this doesn't ...
