Thursday....

This morning starting off great. Colton woke up and gladly chewed on his hands as I lay in bed trying to wake up. After Colton finished breakfast, I made myself a cappuccino and Cayden slow woke up. He woke up running this morning. He didn't eat much breakfast because he saw his bat & ball out on the back porch and immediately wanted to go play. I put on his sweats and made him bundle up as if we were in Kansas! and he played all morning. He would take rocks from the patio table to the porch, back & forth, just playing with rocks despite the fact that he had a dump truck, bat & ball, and both dogs outside.....the rocks were the high light of his day! I keep telling people that he doesn't need ANY more toys but no one EVER listens-he! He didn't eat much lunch, I guess that he wore himself out playing and then it was nap time. Colton had a great day, just laying around, being waited on, hand & foot. He was awake most of the morning and didn't get fussy until later in the evening with gas pains-poor baby!
Unfortunately the day did not continue to be blissful.....I received a call from a VERY close friend that her father, Charles, passed away this morning. Our call got disconnected so I am unsure of any details at this moment. I know that he was having radiation & chemo for what I believe was throat cancer. I had not been over to see him since at least Christmas. For that I am VERY sad, he was a GREAT man, kind, wise, loving, accepting, wonderful, loving, happy, and just a joy to be around. He will be greatly missed. For this my day has turned onto a sad note but I turn my trust to God that he is in a better place now, with no pain or suffering, looking down on us with a smile and gentle grace. My concern & love goes out to Sue in these next few weeks of hard ship and suffering, and to the love of his life....may she strive forth with the memories of the wonderful man that awaits her at the gates of heaven.
Please pray for my friends in their time of grief & loss of someone soooo dearly loved.
God Bless
