GARFIELD and other stuff (OT)

We enjoyed the heck out of that movie. Of course, he looks exactly like our
"ser ser, the fatty bear" cat (the transgender cat). I took nieces and nephews
along with the kids.....and we had a blast.
On our way we drove past the site where about four years ago, I worked a
wreck involving a little boy who did not have his seatbelt on, and died before
we could extract him from the vehicle.
I cried that day, because usually this stuff does not bother me, but his age
and that it was his birthday and hearing his mother scream his name over and
over was too much (my being a mother made it particularly difficult).....
Today when we rode by there, the exact spot, usually weedy and overgrown,
there was a pink hibiscus growing. It was the most amazing thing.
It gave me some peace.
Please make sure all kids are properly restrained. Even a mile down the road
could be dangerous without it.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Starting the new job next week and I am so excited!

Gee, this was a sweet post... thanks for posting it. I hope the mother
sees the hibiscus, too.

Not really, although things seem so different now. Emily's going to
the community college in Sept. and living at home with me. Now, she's
working for the city, driving herself around, has a friend who is
almost a boyfriend, and going out and having some fun, she's going to
Hawaii with 5 other girls who just graduated in a few days, and she's
going to drive across country (well, to North Dakota) with my sister
and her new puppy.... I guess the weirdest part is that she's
considerate and doesn't need reminding to do stuff like empty the
dishwasher or take out the garbage... it's almost like having a
roomie. But, she asks for advice and permission to do stuff and so on.
It's very pleasant times... Sorry news is that the relationship with
her father just sort of ended this year. I think it was a mutual.

So, it's an empty nest in some ways... my little girl is growing up.

Thanks for asking,
Karen
