Good Friends

Today we invited some friends from church to go out to lunch with us. We went to Los Rancheros and had such a good time. The kids all got along (they have 2 boys) and ate well. Brad and I enjoyed the adult conversation. Benjamin announced that he had to go potty and Daddy took him in to go. Benjamin came running out all excited, "I PEEPEE IN DA POTTY!!!!!" (I later found out that he didn't.) The bill came and I was waiting for Brad to get back so I could go and pay our bill. Little did we know, our friends had decided that they were treating our family to lunch. I cannot even tell you what a blessing that was for us. I'm so thankful for the fellowship and friendship that we have developed with this other family.

Teena Fleeger

Teena Fleeger died yesterday afternoon. She had a battle with cancer and she died. At least that’s what I’ve been told. But I don’t believe it. I feel like I’m going to pick up the phone and call her and she is going to answer and we will talk like we always do. It hurts. I don’t want to believe it. Teena is the closest person to me that has died. I can’t believe she is gone. She was always so full of life and optimism. For her to be gone doesn’t seem right. I just talked to her on Sunday and she was ‘fine’. She wasn’t going to die. They said that on Monday or maybe it was Tuesday…I don’t remember…but she took a turn for the worse. I’m so mad with myself because I didn’t make it a point to see her when I was back in VA for Ronda’s wedding. Why didn’t I see her? I’m so mad!!!! I knew she was sick, but she wasn’t supposed to die. Teena was like a second mom to me. She was great. I know that she is in Glory. I know that she is singing praises to Jesus. But why did she have to go so soon? I don’t understand. I don’t understand why she had to get cancer. I was going to go and see her over spring break. Now I guess I will have to go to the grave site. I can’t write anymore right now---I'm blubbering again.
