taking a break
Taking a break for an undetermined amount of time. We have had much sorrow here ~ and much change is on the horizon. Too much stress for bloggin', so I wanted to post it here.
Pray for my Geckmeister who bravely watched through a wall of tears and sorrow as his beloved Siamese was put down two days ago. This "nearly human" cat would sleep with, play tag with, chase with, cry for, obsess over, pour love over my son for four short years. He would actually clean my son as if he was his kitten every night. (gross... he'd even try to clean out his ears!LOL!) He had advanced heart disease with congestive heart failure. We went from a "healthy four year old cat" to a euthanized cat in less than twelve hours. No kidding. That fast. We are stunned.
How do people survive the loss of a child? I mean, seeing your child in pain or hurting is AGONY, especially when you are powerless as a parent to spare your little one pain and suffering. This is minute compared with that, but my little guy is hurting. He cries off and on. He asked if our cat was in heaven ~ I assured him that God loves him and loved his cat enough to create him, and that there will be animals in heaven, and as God is preparing a place for him, He wouldn't overlook the smallest detail. I'm confident that God would recreate this little cat just for him and just for His pleasure in watching one of His Own children shout joyfully at reuniting with this little creature. I'm positive that God must think like that because He is a Father, and I'd do the same thing as a parent. Of course, once he knew he was going to heaven, Geckmeister said in all earnestness, "I want to go to heaven now too! I hate it here! Life is awful and I need to be in heaven NOW!" Heart wrenching words. He is growing out of the happy-go-lucky kid stuff to the meaty, prickly stuff of life. I'm running behind with a stupid box of worthless bandaids trying to soften these wounds which are inevitable in life. Like all Moms do, I suppose. So, pray for my little guy. He's watching our other Siamese (who hates Geckmeister, by the way) wander around the house crying for the one who was lost. My heart aches...
We are looking at an out-of-state transfer sometime this summer. I must get rid of TONS of stuff. You know how we homeschool families can be Savers of Quite a Lot. Yeah, that's me. I even found a piece of driftwood "to be painted later" from my honeymoon 16 years ago ~ LOL! What am I thinking???
ManofthePlace's family is being deeply plowed right now. Remember the crazies? They are stealing from each other, going to jail, getting arrested, breaking into each others homes, BANANAS. Again, thank you Jesus for recessive genes.
My parents are getting older and sicker. I'm praying for God's Hand to protect them when we move away. Tough stuff....
So, I might update at some point, I might not. Not sure right now.
Happy summer to all...
