I absolutely love my new job. I'm so proud of myself for making the journey to Rochester daily. I remember when I was afaraid to take the thruway to Eastview and by the way folks that was just a few months ago!!!! Em and I went to see Riss sing at Cabaret night on Thursday and she was fantastic. I'm so impressed with her singing ability .I've decided to hold onto the Saab because I really do like that car and I'd like to get it paid down. It would be nice to not have to use my Social Security check to make a car payment. We're making plans to go out to see Tara and Dave in March and then in June/July I'll be a grandma. Pretty exciting stuff. Today in church Shelly was there with her 8 month old niece and someone in front of me asked if that was my granddaughter. I said no my grandchild is still baking!!!!!! I have my cough back again but I go see a specialist on Jan. 31st so hopefully I'll get some answers. Every year around Dec/Jan/ I start coughing and don't stop until April / May. This has been going on for 5 or 6 years. Every year I go to the docs try a bunch of stuff that doesn't work yada yada. I've been thinking of Tim alot lately and just how quickly things change. I find myself having so many questions like did he know he was dying? Did he tell anyone? Did he do everything he wanted to do? Sometimes I get angry with the whole thing. I guess I have nothing more to share and it doesn't seem apprpriate to end with my typical closing. So I will say simply, PEACE

I think you are at a pretty good place in your life right now, and I am so proud of you for putting on your big girl panties and opening your eyes to the wonderful world of highway and thruway driving.
I think of Uncle Tim daily. I have a picture of him and Ray with Shawn and I at our wedding hanging on the wall upstairs right next to our bedroom door, so every morning when I am getting ready I stop and look at it for a second. Sometimes I stop and think some of the same things that you do, but ALWAYS I stop and think about how proud of us girls he would be today and proud we were to call him our Uncle. I also know that he didn't have any regrets, and the only thing that he would have wanted to do before he died that he didn't do would be to publish his book. At least he was able to finish it and share it with all of us. I am at peace with his passing knowing that he lived his life to the fullest and made every day a good day to live!
Wow, I really need to start checking these more often, you updated this FOUR days ago! I am also proud of you for driving around like you own the city now. You probably know more about Rochester than me I'm sure. You are at an awesome place in your life and I am so greatful for that.
I have been thinking about Uncle Tim more than usualy lately too. He was so happy with where his life was at before he passed and I am so greatful for that too. If nothing else, that makes me content with his passing. I try not to think about whether or not he knew but when I do think about it I think of how hard it would have been for him to tell us. I also wonder what it would have been like after he told us knowing that even though he was sick he would have never left the city. That may have been more painful, to know but not be able to spend more time with him. So with that I'm leaving it like it is, thinking about how happy he was! And it is a good day to live!
Hey Mom- I wanted to reply to your comment but couldn't on my own blog without blogging so I'm doing it here. I did read the book you got me before I left. Actually I read it right after I left, it's deffinitely a good one! I also wish I could have found teaching jobs there and have been missing home a bunch lately. I can't wait for you to come out in May!!! LOve ya tons!
