The Adventures of Tristan

  Wasn't any other Sunday... my Community Group agreed to join T and me at Dallas Life. It was so fun to introduce them to all of our friends there. In the middle of the service, Iris asked T if they could talk. He knew.  HE KNEW it was over. Watching him stress and process was utterly heartbreaking. I told him he could have Holt come and get him. He chose to stay. I told him how much I loved him. We all prayed. We got home, and it was done.  No real reason and I think that was the most painful part.  I don't know if she just couldn't tell him why... or if she didn't know. He left with friends.  A few hours later, he called me utterly devastated.  Driving (very unsafely btw) and I begged him to pull over and I would take an Uber to him and drive the car home. He threatened terrible things.  When he got out of the car, his very tall, very broken heart just fell into my arm. He cried for hours, and I begged God to take it away.  he didn't.  But...

 

 Zach and Sol took the kids to see Mom. I haven't heard how it went yet but i know she loved the hugs, because I know her. And what is left of her mind... I know that it still rings true. She loves her family! But when I took T to see her on Tuesday, my heart was broken. She's frail. She's confused. I only stayed two hours. And as I kept looking at her I realized that these are my final days with my mom. Nothing has been unsaid, but it's still SO hard. I miss her. I miss telling her secrets and complaining and laughing. I miss inside jokes and her visits and her meatballs. I miss her laughter, her "Julie Elizabeth!" when I was about to do something crazy. I miss her worry and concern. I miss her. I got up and kissed her goodbye, knowing this might be the last.  As I walked out of the room, I heard her say "I love you Julie Elizabeth". I quickly ran back in, hit record on my phone and said "say it again" and she said "what?!" so I ...

 I'm over here making memories... Trooper has just stated pooping on dog walks. After 5 years... he decided now... it's time. LAAAAWD. I no longer have a fun fact about him! LOL Played Pickleball with Connie, Lauren and friends! But T was off living his best life at the lake! I don't miss the entire weekend being consumed by the lake but it was fun. I hope he and his friends are enjoying every second!!

This one would lose her head if it wasn't attached... But I found her at BOS! We quickly grabbed Franky and we were off! We found the rest of the girls at the Dagny Hotel and we were off to the Barking Crab!! We ordered food to split... Chrissy's was the size of a lemon - our fish tacos were huge and yummy!! Just missing Poolsie, but shellfish make her sick, so I guess we saved her life! After a quick change.. we walked to CHEERS! It is SO small, but so fun.  We made the most of our situation and laughed - A LOT!   The next Day we got up, grabbed coffee and headed off to walk part of the freedom trail! This pic should be last, it's the church where Paul Revere rang the bell. So many lies have been passed down over time.  Like Paul didn't yell "the British are coming" it actually made me said because I like to run up the halls and say that when the UK is arriving! This guy refused a statue or monument without African American soldiers because it didn't depi...
