Since Lizbeth got here there has been laughter and tears, ecstatic screaming, card games, movies, great food, and tons of fun. There is so much to tell and yet no time at all in which to tell it. She has recently been going through a very difficult trial - the end of her marriage. It is a painful thing. It is always with her - just under the surface. Even happy moments can bring it up again for her, but like someone who is sick to their stomach, it feels a slight bit better at least for the moment when you get it out. I hope that for the time she is here that I can carry it with her. The betrayal she has felt is palpable. She deserves good things.
For those of you who wondered, she brought another friend of mine, Betsy and her two kids with her for the ride, but Sunday afternoon Betsy went to meet an old friend and stay with her for the month of August. It was so good to see her too.
Oh yeah, and there is also a hurricane coming. It appears that Hurricane Edouard is headed our way - the headline on the local news/weather website says that it is "zeroing in" on our area. I am not sure what it will bring our way - but we would appreciate your prayers for our safety!
If I post less than usual, please understand, I am hearing real laughter instead of reading LOLs for the first time in a long while!
Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteI was checking the weather and finding where you are, my geography is terrible... Oh I hate public school.
Anyway have fun but don't forget about me, I miss you!
Have a great visit. Maybe a hurricane party is in order?
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing to have a friend who'll "carry it with us." Enjoy the REAL 'LOLs'!!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how close you all were to that area. I never ask because my family calls anytime something happens anywhere on the east coast and ask if I'm all right. ;) It's cute really. Our prayers are with you all. I want to see the post where you all are standing outside in the rain with umbrella's up and the wind closing them. Always seemed pointless with wind swirling around to hold an umbrella up anyhow the rain's gonna soak anyway since it won't be coming straight down. Keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteBe safe and have fun! When I heard where the hurricane was headed, I thought of you... be safe, be safe, be safe! <3
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time together. Betsy will be gone a whole month? Yikes.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and have fun with your friends!
ReplyDeletepraying for safety! Have fun with your friend and enjoy every moment. We aren't going anywhere - don't worry about us! :o)
