Just In Case ILY Mom

  ·

This popped up in my Facebook memories today. 

May 24, 2011

 

We had a tornado warning last night around 7:30 PM. Kevin was at his school for an 8th grade dance from 7-9. 

We had no actual damage around us. 

 

 My text messages with Kev last night ... 

Me - 'We are in a tornado warning' ... 

Kev-"They know we,re in groups" 

Kev- "Just in case ily mom" 

Me - "Love you too, the school is a safe old building".

 In comments I said...
It's been a heck of a Spring weather wise. Ever since the Spring of 1974 when a huge tornado hit Xenia Ohio and family of ours were caught in that I have been extra tuned -IN- to weather. My aunts and uncles were safe in Xenia, one lived in a rental and that house was destroyed. Back in those days there was no level of communication like today. !!!! Last night I had put our cat in the kennel and put the dogs leash on her. I kept saying to the hubby... WE need to go to the basement. He was looking out the freaking window... DUH !!!!! Eventually he joined the furry family and me in the basement. Jeanne... I was TRYING to remain calm... INSIDE I wanted to drive right up to that school and grab my kid.

Epitaph

by Merrit Malloy


When I die
Give what's left of me away
To children
And old men that wait to die.
And if you need to cry,
Cry for your brother
Walking the street beside you.
And when you need me,
Put your arms
Around anyone
And give them
What you need to give to me.

I want to leave you something,
Something better
Than words
Or Sounds.

Look for me
In the people I've known
Or loved,
And if you cannot give me away,
At least let me live on your eyes
And not on your mind.

You can love me most
By letting
hands touch hands,
By letting
Bodies touch bodies,
And by letting go
Of children
That need to be free.

Love doesn't die,
People do.
So, when all that's left of me
Is love,
Give me away.

I'll see you at home
In the earth.

 

Walking Each Other Home

 

"I don't know how this story's supposed to go

I don't know a lot of things that other people know

But it ain't about money, ain't about who's right or wrong

We're all just walking each other home"

(Walking Each Other Home - lyrics Mary Gauthier)

(Walking Each Other Home - quote by Ram Dass

 

 Nakeeta... Keep your heart open, and always remember

these words. Love Mama
