I must admit this month has pretty sad and emotional for our family as many of you probably know my mom's cousin from Florida passed away and it seems like only yesterday I was over at his house giggling and laughing and sampling food that he was cooking. I also remember him wishing me a happy mother's day and me giggling and saying "Thanks but I am not a mother." He just laughed and said "Not yet but I am sure you will become one when you meet the right guy." I never got to see Jeffery that much since he did live in Florida but there are a couple things I will always remember such as his cooking and his sense of humor. But anyway he will always be missed and emotions are still pretty raw especially for his his immediate family like uncle Robert and aunt Sue and Jeffery's siblings.
Well anyway yesterday was the day that uncle Robert and aunt Sue and grandma were coming in from Florida for the memorial that's taking place on the 27th. Mom was the one who was going to pick them up from the airport and Mark and grandpa, and I were at grandpa's preparing breakfast or rather warming up breakfast that mom prepared ahead of time. Mom had made a breakfast casserole and all that needed to be done was prepare some bagels that grandpa had purchased. Anyway it was all ready by the time they arrived but we didn't eat right away we just sat around and talked and that was when it got emotional. Uncle Robert had pulled out his cell and said that he'd better call Bobby, and everyone in Fl to let them know that they got in safely but before he said Bobby's name he Jeffery's name slipped out and it hit him and me kind of hard too. He started to tear up and mentioned that Jeffery called him every morning and that he loved cooler weather and he seemed extra cheerful when it got done in the 50's in Fl.
It was cooler yesterday. everyone was in jeans and heck I was in my UGG boots which are my favorite shoes ever. I LOVE both pair of my Uggs. I said to mom if you buy me another pair of UgG boots in another color for Christmas I will be so happy. :)
Well anyway just seeing Uncle Robert cry got to me because you rarely see a man cry and I remember when I was little I remember thinking when a boy reached a certain age like 18 he couldn'tcry anymore so yes it gets to me. Well anyway I think I better go. Lots to do. Have a great day. XOXO
