A Wrap Up

Ok, where to start. This week has been crazy and it will be like this through the weekend. Lets start the update with the D & K because they are always on my mind. Both kids are very loved if not by their families but their friends. The memorial service was Tuesday, none of their family was there (bums) but the dad had two close friends who where like brothers to him. They where there and did a wonderful job. One friend J grew up with the dad and was to emotional to do much talking. The other friend F met the dad in the army and had some great stories. Anyone who had something to say stood up and talked. Megan and I where the only friends of D's that where there. Every time I think I am done crying I am wrong. One thing that was obvious was that the dad's friends loved him and that is going to be very good for D & K. So many rumors about that night are going on around town and I am not sure how much the kids have heard. It is a good thing that the kids are hearing good stories about their Dad right now. Mine and Meg's biggest fear is that one of the family members would come and take the kids and we wouldn't hear from them again. We know that the family has had no contact with D & K for years and no one knows where the mother is. J is taking both kids to live with him and his family. In my opinon this is a good thing. It is obvious he loved the dad and he is going to love these kids. So, in two weeks they leave us and go to So. California. J has promised trips to Hollywood, Disneyland and all the other things that part of the state has to offer. We know this is a good thing for D, but we are going to miss him so much around here. He has been a part of our family for almost three years. It turly feels like someone is missing around here.

I need to move on with some thing else or I will never stop crying. Let's talk about Steve shall we. Did I mention he forgot Jason at the park yesterday? Poor Steve, he is never going to hear the end of this one. We where supper busy yesterday and on top of that we decide to lug our dresser outside to be redone. From 2:00 to 7pm last night it was totally out of control around here. Steve took Jason with him to pick the girls up from soccer. He was in a hurry to get back home to help and took off quick with the girls. In his rush, he forgot Jason. I get a call from the coach about what happened and called Steve to let him know. He gets back to a very angry Jason and a bunch of Moms laughing at him. At dinner last night, Jason would look at Steve with those big round brown eyes and say "I can't believe you forgot me." Steve feels terrible and I am sure he is going to hear it at Saturdays game.
Jason - Day 58/365

That's it for now. I need to go and get my house put together, we have a sleep over this weekend.
