My baby girl.....

I am so proud of my baby girl! She got two awards at school Friday!!! One for getting the honor roll and one for making an A on her Reading Benchmark!! Way to go Karsie!!! Just wanted to give her some kudoos!!

She's doing a little better with my dad's death. She was just so close to him that him passing away really got to her! She was his "little nurse" when he felt bad. She used to rub his feet for him when they were swollen. When she saw his hand on his forehead, she knew that it meant that he had a headache so she would run into the bathroom and wet a fresh bathrag and bring it to him. It made my heart hurt even worse when I would look at her and she would just be sitting there crying. She's been sleeping with my mom a lot here lately and the other night I went into the bedroom to tell her good night and she was smelling the pillow. I knew what she was doing...but I had to ask... She said "it smells like Paw Paw" and I asked her to let me see and it did. The next morning she told mom that she dreamed about him that night and that he wasn't sick anymore and that when she went to bed that night, that she saw him laying there in bed. Mom told her it was ok, that she see's him too sometimes.

Well...now that I have myself crying...I'm going to go for now.

Until next time.....all of our love...
