Memories . . . . . . . .
A memory was sparked this morning from something that was said on the radio. Today is the 6 year anniversary of the Columbine shootings. Can you believe that six years has already passed?? Such a sad time.
The memory that was brought up was my mother had just been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and when Columbine happened she was in the hospital recuperating from her hysterectomy/cancer surgery. She was pretty much out of it when the tragedy occurred but normally she would have been glued to TV watching it at home.
Thankfully my mother recovered from that surgery and the chemotherapy treatments. She lived 3 1/2 years after that and was here to see the birth of another grandchild (Jessica). She did go through more chemo treatments each time the cancer came back and she was a trooper, never complaining, just going through the treatments because she still had some life in her. On July 29th, the Doc told her that there was nothing more they could do for her she was relieved because the chemo treatments really kicked her A$$.
Onward…….here are some pictures that I received in an e-mail this morning. It’s titled, “Insurance Adjuster’s Nightmares”.
Explain these to your insurance company:
On that note, HAVE A SAFE DAY!

Here’s a ((Hug)), I know it’s bittersweet remembering loved ones we’ve lost.
Those pictures are something else. I like the horse looking out like “whut?”
I am sorry it had to spark a bad memory, I know she is with our Lord and Saviour and that is a good place for her to be. As with all believers I am happy to know where I will be going when my time has come.
I love the insurance pictures… how funny !!
You know the quote is so true…….. Last week I was doing some stuff outside and had to put some planks in a utility trailer. I dropped a plank and broke the tail light off the trailer, for a moment I thought well I can just hang the light back on here and he (my husband) will never know. So I did that, then I thought no, that is not the right thing to do. I took the light in the house and set it on the table, when he came home I told him what happened and he was not mad. (very unusual as he normally gets a little angry over things like that) So I have to say I feel good about “Doing the Right Thing”
Have a wonderful day !!
HAHAH, that horse is like “Dude, get outta my trailer!”
Thanks for the laughs!
Thanks again for your generous donation to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation! It means so much to me!
Sorry for your loss. It must have been hard enough with the cancer, but chemo is hard to go through as well.
Love the pics. Especially the one with the jacked cop cars!
I teach in a public school, and I can honestly say that nothing has effected the atmosphere of my workplace more than those shootings. I still get goosebumps thinking of how I watched it all on the news that night. Wow.
I lost my beloved dad to cancer, too, when he was only 46 years old. I’m very sorry for your loss.
