My daily Life 07-25-07 Birthday just around the Corner!
Well, I thought my husband would have lots of distraction while been at work, but that wasnt so. He told me this morning he just cant focus on anything. His mind is wrapped around his Mom. But I stay strong in my faith and pray unceasingly for the both of us. I know, that I know, that I know that my Saviour will bring my husband through this.
It will take time, so does any physical wound you have, even a little cut on your finger takes a good while to heal. How much longer does an emotional wound take? It will be a long process and the pain will never go away but it will get better and easier.
My husbands birthday is approaching quickly and of course we havent or should I say “I” havent prepared nothing for it. A). We always in financial problems, and B). with the death of his Mom so suddenly we been in a state of shock and never did I give it a thought until last night.
So now I am thinking and can not come to a conclusion how to “celebrate” his birthday. And how do you celebrate his brithday after all this? I dont even know!!!
I wish he would have friends from work or something to invite. But than again I wouldnt invite no one, since I am german and we dont invite people to birthdays. In Germany people that know you or know of your birthday, they just stop by and give their well-wishes and stuff.
And my husband is a loner, he likes people but he never really gets close enough that they feel they just can stop by. I am so different in that area. I am a people-person. I love people, I love talking. I am the bubbly one.
Anyways, today my Friend Laura called me and asked if I come to small group Friday, but I had to decline. If Michael would join me I would go. But it is his Birthday and I just dont feel right leaving him sitting alone at home right now. So I wont be going to group Friday.
So I am gonna buy a cake, and light some candles. He wants a new hairclipper since he cuts his own hair. But the ones they sell at Wal-Mart are not the thing he wants anymore. He needs a good clipper. I bought him last year a clipper from Wal-Mart and it broke shortly thereafter. So he told me Please dont buy one from there. I looked into Sally Beauty supply they have the clippers he had but man oh man they run about 50 dollars. So we have to wait on that a bit.
If anyone reads this and would like to stop by on Friday evening, feel free to come. We will enjoy having you! Perhaps that would be a nice distraction for him since he always feels he is alone here in VA. Well I can tell you why he feels this way, he never goes nowhere. You cant meet people if you stay in the house 24/7. DUH!
Now on a nother note, I cant wait for Sunday to roll around. I can go to Church since he sleeps anyways that early in the morning. And I enjoy my time with my fellow Believers and the Lord. Last Sunday I wasnt all together so I wasnt to focused, and honestly I couldnt tell you what the sermon was about. At the time of the sermon I heard it, but right afterwards it was gone. I do still have the Church bulletin and can look up what I missed. Isnt it crazy how your mind wanders of?
This Sunday I am pretty sure I will be focused again. Slowly at least getting my Life back to normal. I do have my moments thinking of Pearl, but by far not as many as my husband has and that is understandable!
So there, I wrote down my thoughts again, and keep you all posted on My daily Life!
Wishing you an evening full of Blessings
Andrea

Andrea,
I continue to think about you and Michael during this time.
As for last Sunday’s sermon, I just went on a posting frenzy, posting about the sermons of the last two weeks (so it should help jog your memory), and I even got in part three of my memories segment, and I think you’ll enjoy it.
Do you all ever go out for coffee or do small excursions? Sometimes it helps to do small things first. Just a thought.
Have a good evening.
In Christ,
Dan

Andrea, a nice thing to do for special occasions that doesn’t cost a thing is to drive up to the Mill Mountain Star at night. You can park your car and walk over to the star and the overlook and look out at the city all lit up. Maybe bring a bottle of sparkling grape juice and toast Michael’s birthday. It’s very pretty and romantic
Then maybe head downtown to Mill Mountain Coffee for coffee and/or dessert. Just a thought… Another idea for a daytime excursion is to pack some nice french bread, cheese, and grapes and drive up to the Roanoke Mountain overlook. The view is spectacular and it’s a great place to spread out a blanket and have a light picnic together. There is even a little, easy, loop trail you can walk if you want to.
-love ya!
