Two Babies

Could two babies look anymore alike and not be twins or even the same sex?
The first one is Rance and the 2nd is me, his mother.
Cracks me up!

Penny and her Puss N Boots face

Penny could be a grouchy little chihuahua, but then she would look up at you with such a sweet innocent face just like puss n boots on shrek. She never was grouchy with me though. She loved me!
In the picture she is wagging her tail, and the tip is just a blur!

Penny

Some days it seems all I do is cry. I miss Mamaw so much I can't stand it at times. I hate crying in front of anyone, but I do it a lot lately.
Wednesday morning I took out the trash and I forgot about Penny following me. When she didn't come to the door later with Girl, I went out and called and called for her. I went all the way around the house because that is usually where she is when I have to look for her. Finally, I glanced out towards the road and there she was. A brown crumpled mess. I could tell from the house she was dead. I couldn't go out there. I went and got our neighbor, Mr. Carlton, and he got her and buried her at their farm. He and his wife are such a nice couple. They sat and talked with me until I quit crying. I loved that little dog even though she was grouchy to the boys, pottied in the house, and ate her own poop. She loved me, and she tried to protect me. Just ask my mother.
I am so tired of being sad.

Mamaw's Funeral

Mamaw's funeral was yesterday at the FBC in Paris. Our pastor pointed out that she was a Proverb's 31 woman and she truly was in every way.
Her name is Grace Catherine Rogers. The pastor called her Amazing Grace (which she was). Cousins Kristy and Bill sang Amazing Grace during the ceremony, and then it was played on bagpipes at the cemetary.
Guess what song they sang in church this morning. I had to leave church for a few minutes to quit crying. Lex was on security duty and he loved on me while I cried. I've been crying off and on through out the day. It was a lot easier when the extended family was all together. We told stories and made each other laugh.
I know I'll see her again, but right now I miss her so much I can hardly stand it. I wish I could be mad at her, for up and dying on us, but no one can be mad at Mamaw, a saint if there ever was one.

Mamaw

Mamaw died last night.

I was with her yesterday evening until around 7:30. I wasn't feeling well so I went home to rest so I would be able to come back today.
I miss her so much. I always knew I could call Mamaw and talk. She was always kind, always the peace-keeper. Possibly, the most Godly person I've ever known. She leaves an emptiness no one can fill.
Praise the Lord, she is with the Lord right now!

Mamaw

Had a great day with Mamaw Wednesday. She was in rehap at covington. She talked and talked (even though we couldn't understand it all.) She ate good. She was silly. It was a great day!
Thursday she had another stroke. Back in the hospital. Moved to hospice. It's not good at all. I miss her so much!!!!!!! I need to talk to her like always. She loves to talk. There is still so much I need to ask her.
