time...

"Time heals all wounds." is the saying, but I don't agree with that. I think they get worse before they ever get better. :(

Today is the three month "anniversary" of Wayne's passing and it's no easier today then it was back in July. In fact, it hurts even more.

The hard part for me besides thinking of my mom and that Wayne is not there with her, is that the kids have done things that I KNOW Grampa would be so proud of but he's not here to share them with. It makes me cry each time....

Here are some of those things...
*Ryan was elected Patrol Leader at Boy Scouts
*Jessica caught a catfish saturday at the catfish rodeo (grampa would have had a good laugh at how she caught it)
*Autumn caught her first Bass and it was a nice keeper
*Patrick got his school pictures back and Grampa would have loved how they turned out
*Autumn & Patrick both had excellant reports from the school conferences
*Autumn & Ryan are BOTH on the bowling league this year

....I know there are more but those are what came to mind.

I know Grampa is looking down on them and smiling. I KNOW he is proud of them. It just doesn't make it hurt any less that he's not here though....
