Malachai Paul 9/12/2006 - 9/12/2006

Today we are in a state of disbelief and tearful mourning; the premature death and birth of our grandson. There was a room prepared for him in our hearts; we already knew him in anticipation. I would have called him 'my little guy Kai.'

We now turn our prayers to our daughter, Jen, as there are complications.




Malachai is a Hebrew word that translates as "my angel."

Oh Pam, I'm so sorry. My prayers to you, your family and particularly Jen.

If you believe in heaven, he had an express ticket. If you believe in reincarnation, his spirit must have attained enlightenment.

If you believe in reality, you should be devasted. Be strong.

Improvements for Jen this evening, physically. I was afraid for her, too.

Thank you for kind thoughts.
A sad reminder for us that birth and life are truly a miracle.

There is nothing more wrong than the death of a child, however it may happen.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

:(.....Pamela...so...so...sad for you to read this news this morning. Wow, your family has had a tough time recently. Thank you for letting us know, I'll be praying for Jen and all of you as well. How far does she live from you? I read on WT's you'd be gone a few days, so I'm wondering if that's where you're going.

Few words, but my heart is with you.

I'm so sorry for eveything your family has been going through lately. How do you cope with the loss of a child? I can't even imagine it. My thought are with you and your family.

Saying I'm sorry just doesn't seem to express what I feel for you and your family, but what else can I say? Your poor daughter-- I can't imagine. It hurts to imagine. I leave you with my prayers-- and I will pray for your family.

I am so sorry.

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of the make and model that

Apparitions in my Garden

Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben
