When the family gets together.....
We play
Some of the kids (Kelsey, Audrey, Korinne, Paul) came up for a family party. We ate caramel popcorn, played pool, the Money Game, and watched a movie in the theater room.
We eat
Chili, cornbread, green salad, brownies, root beer (floats)
As I was preparing the food for the day, Dave was setting up tables and other stuff. It was quiet in the house. Those quiet thoughts of mom crept up on me without warning. I thought of all the parties she gave, all the parties she went to. She knew how to party.... family style! She made our life so full and fun. I started to yearn for her presence. I wanted her to come to my party. I knew she would love it. That is what she said she was going to miss the most when she was gone... the family parties and get-togethers. I hope she was able to look in. I cried many tears today. I miss her so much!
