  • Jordan's latest 5.1.09 SHOES is her new favorite word, and a totally new and exciting concept. I've quickly discovered the joy of velcro or elastic straps, as Jordan has no patience for mommy tying her precious little Keds. FISH - she now points at pictures, and the ones in the pond. So cute. YEP - when you ask if she wants to do something, this is generally her response. She also says NO, but usually it is a good natured "Yep". Drums - Jordan has always loved drums. They are her favorite toys. Now, she will pull 4 or 5 of them into a semi-circle around her, and will use 2 mallets to play them all, 3 taps at a time. She is bound to be a famous percussionist. Rocks - Since mastering her walking skills, we let her walk more and more often. Our driveway is gravel, and it is so appealing to her. It's like a gigantic sandbox - we put her down, and she immediately sits and plays with the rocks. She tried to eat one, and it was obviously distasteful, as she spit it out and hasn't tried again. She points out my eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, and says the word for each. What a smart little girl. Have you figured out yet that she is the love of my life, and not only that, but also a genius????

A letter to my Daddy…

First thing that I need to say, as if you ever doubted it or didn’t know it with your whole heart – I LOVE YOU. So much.

Second thing, I’m so sorry that I’m not there with you. I feel as if I should be, even though you don’t NEED me, and maybe you are more comfortable without your baby there, so that you don’t worry about me as I sit there. Still, I wish that I could just be close to you, to wrap my arms around your neck a time or two. All of that said, my heart is with you, every moment of every day.

I let the grind of work take my worry away – I float along on my day, when I feel as if I could break down, I sink myself into the most complicated issues at hand in the mill, and I manage to escape. I hope that you have found ways to escape as well. I wish that I could take it all away, make it disappear.

The only thing that really brings me peace is knowing that the two other people who love you as much as I do are there with you, even just if they are in the room sitting by you. I hope that you know that I am with you in spirit also.

We will all get through this, and we will all be okay – better even.

Please remember how much I love you, and that I think of you every moment of every day.

I love you Daddy. I’m so sorry that all of this is happening.

My heart and yours, forever………..

I love you so much.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
