Kyle

Tomorrow is January 2. One of the five happiest days of my life. It's the day Kyle was born. Dave was so excited. All through the pregnancy, Dave was sure this was a girl. He bought this little pink sleeper. He was just sure that Kyle was a girl. Actually, he was sure it was a girl all four times! But if he were to be a boy, his name was to be Kenny or Erik. Kenny or Erik. Erik or Kenny. We went back and forth. Dave said, "Oh, it didn't matter anyway, since Amanda Loree was going to be born." A few days before Kyle was born, we had an ultrasound, because there had been so much confusion on his due date (turned out he was 3.5 weeks overdue!), and we discovered he was a boy! A boy! We were amazed. And suddenly decided to name him Kyle. Don't ask me why or how. It just happened. Dave's brother, Bob, was in town for the weekend. I'd had a lot of contractions on Dave's birthday, he was hoping that Kyle would be born on his birthday, but it didn'

Goodbyes

So I had my first Walla Walla goodbyes. The first was my eye doctor, Dr. Poffenroth. He's taken care of my eyes for 25 years. He's more than just an eye doctor.  He's a caring person and a friend. As I left my last appointment, he handed me a card with a referral to a friend of his who practices in Port Angeles. I looked at the card. And realized...I won't see him again. I've been living in a bit of denial. I know.  Big surprise. With all the excitement and chaos of moving, And all the stress of living in limbo, I somehow missed that I'd be leaving some things some people behind. I know I'll be back often. To see my kids and the new grandbaby, friends and family. This fact allowed me to forget... there are some I won't see. Even though we promise to keep in touch, Life has a way of getting busy. Good intentions and all that. I  have written many times about Walla Walla. It's a magical place. Safe, nurturing. I never thou

Unlucky 13

13. Unlucky they say. 13. I kind of laugh.  I think I've always been unlucky, 13 or no. Today marks 13 years without Dave here. This year, more than any other, I marvel at the number of changes he has missed. Our first grandchild, Emmie, born this year. Zach and Kailee, such loving parents. Kate and Kenny, out on their own. And me. This last year has been nothing BUT change for me. Moving to Port Angeles. Starting a new job, and then another. Finding my tribe in a new place. Falling in love, getting married. Blessed all over again With a husband, a partner, my love, Who protects me, takes care of me, loves me unconditionally, Is always there, holds me when things get rough, and Never wavers. Rock steady, true blue, pure love. I never thought I'd be here. Never. And I question myself every single day. Was it the right decision? Not to marry Dennis...he truly is everything to me. But to leave my family? It's been so hard. I miss them so mu
