Sadness and Easter....

My focus today has been a mixture of sadness and Easter....
My day was filled with some time at home, some time with family,
trying to call someone to talk to, and now sadness, as I prepare
for the week ahead.

We have had a busy and productive weekend as a family.
Phone calls Friday and running to the bank... more Estate related
stuff, no surprise there.

Saturday night was majorly exciting. Attending our first Philadelphia Flyer's game as a family..... So cool. Chantel enjoyed it immensely!

In the middle of my writing this, I received the phone call, I needed.
Time to share with someone who truly cares. It seems like God is truly lining things up. We know some of the same people. Both of us come from similar church backgrounds and now go to the same church.

This week, I will be focused on the loss of our child, Blessing Schultz, 6 years ago, on April 20th, 2005. Our child would have been 6 years old this fall, and attending, Kindergarten. This really is a tough milestone for me to deal with right now.

The Memory Day, and working on the garden this week, seems like it's for more than just one of our children, Blessing, but for all 3 children: Blessing, Patience, and Joy Schultz, all in Heaven... Also, I bought a special flower (made of decorative painted metal) to go in the garden area for my parent's memory. We are even going to add some favorite veges that my parents enjoyed as well, to our garden. Praying for a great year, for our garden.

In the midst of this week, I'm still waiting for things to get done at my parents' house, for the township to do their final inspection (U and O). Ready for the next week, to drive to the settlement by myself, and sign over the papers, not sure how emotional that will be, but a relief, I'm sure.
