52 Weeks of 52: Week 31

Week 31

Suddenly, it seems, I have woken up and this one

the one who made me Mumsy

is blossoming and

becoming a woman of adventure

becoming a woman of strength

Her beauty shines from deep within.

She is my Sassafras

and I love her so!

Inquisitive

Tenderhearted

Invested

Funny

Sincere

Loyal

The real deal.

A true gem.

Born in the middle of a hurricane —

My special Sassafras

Celebrating another year

9/5

Happy Birthday Kathryn Brooke!

52 Weeks of 52; Week 30

Week 30
August 19, 2020

Junior year-

Mask in hand!

It’s going to be good!

It’s going to be grand!

Christ before you—

Christ all around!

He will make a way

From sun up to sun down!

It's crazy to think she is entering her junior year

Driving her to school will not be a thing again

The time left with her at home is waning

It seems like she will never grow up

Yet we are headed there at warp speed.

Praying she will enter this year

with the perseverance that will certainly be required

So many protocols and precautions

have been put in place

that seem to threaten the joys of high school

2020 will make us stronger.

 Week 29
August 12, 2020

Starting year 29 with

anticipation

excitement and

determination.

.

.

I have never

thought about a year

planned for year

prepared for year

like I have for 2020-2021.

.

.

This staff

These teachers

All of them

Have been flexible

Have remained positive

Have worked willingly

Have gone above and beyond

and they Make Me Proud!

Let’s do this!

Week 28
August 5, 2020

Me: Would you help me pick up some cafeteria tables?
Tim: Sure, where?
Me: Fort Wayne, IN 

I love that he loves my adventurous spirit and is willing to 

drop everything and help me 

carry out crazy plans

live out my crazy dreams

be the steady presence that keeps me grounded.
