Ok guys - so I just need to tell my story and whine a bit cause I already balled the whole way to work and I'm afraid I'll start crying again if I actually talk about it to anyone right now....
It's my mom's bday and it's been weighing on my mind, and I'm pretty ok with it but I'm thinking about her a lot. She would have been 47.
Then the thing that put me over the edge was on our drive in this morning down Hunt Club when a huge car accident happened seconds before we drove by - emergency crews hadn't arrived yet. There was a school bus was smashed pretty bad (and no children were in it thank god) but the man driving was still behind the wheel humped over (he moved so he was alive) and then we passed the pick-up truck next to it - it was so wrecked that I'm sure whoever was in it died. A bunch of people were rushing to the bus driver's rescue - it was just an awful scene to see and I get get it out of my head. I'm going nuts wondering what happened to the people in the truck and if the bus driver is ok. Anyway, I keep listening to the radio and nothing yet - I just keep hearing that Hunt Club is still closed.
So I'm being a big sentimental loser and it's got me to thinking how precious life really is......and makes me think about everyone I love.....and I just want to say how happy I am that I have you all as friends! Love you guys!
Ok I feel better - thanks ....and now I'm going to read a funny joke so I don't cry (I really hate crying!) :)

Have you ever seen that show 'thirty something'...?? You might be too young to have known it, but we aren't! It's about a group of yuppies facing their thirties and obsessing about their own lives. Combine that with the Golden Girls and you may begin to understand us....

We love you too girl! Just remember that we are all in each others life for a reason. Time has passed us by and we are getting older.
People come and people go but we have all reconnected and it feels fantastic.
I say next time we are out we toast the wonderful woman that is your mother, her birthday should be cherished and not go unrecognised by us!
I think she looks down and smiles on your little family and is at peace!
We love you girl. Be strong. We are all here for you...
Part of this is me and the other is codeine... I'm at home sick and I'm into the kids drugs...
It's good to be an aunt!
Love from the twins!
i saw the picture of the crash on the ottawa sun website. it looks so haunting with the school bus in the background. i forgot how close your mom's birthday was to roman's bday--very curious. 47 is still so young. i was watching the movie 'The Bridges of Madison County' and there is such a good line in the movie that Clint says and it is really the way he says it that is so great : "the old dreams were good dreams, they didnt work out, but i'm glad i had them." i always think of this if something isnt turning out how i expected, and it helps so much.
anyway, as you guys saw at christine's wedding for example, i am getting a little sentimental in my old age. i dont have any siblings, nor much family...so i 'extra' really appreciate all of you guys. i meet so many people at school and when i travel, and always mention something about my friends and no one seems to have the kind of long term friend group we do. lots of people dont put energy into friendships, or move away and then get sad cause they dont have it; a spouse just isnt the same. i also see groups that are jealous of each other etc.. and i cant imagine being like that, i'm so honestly happy for you guys when something good happens. anyway, i agree with irini we will toast tam's mom, cause she always appreciated a good drink!
my eyes are watering and I have goosebumps rolling throughout my body. This has really touched me! I didn't realize how much my friends would mean to me either. I was one of those people that had her family and didn't look any further. In the last year or so, I can't believe how much I look forward to our times together. I feel so complete. And would like to thank you all!
I value our memories together and sharing others as we and our children grow together.
Memories are forever and should never be forgotten.....
A toast to Tam's mom & A toast to us! Cheers..love you guys!
I say we have a dinner out in memory of Tam's mom and and us all being friends! Secondly, I say we set this as an annual night out in memory of both occassions. I think combining the two is important because I feel that the day of the funeral was the day the bridges of friendship begun to reconnect. What do you all think?
I'm so touched too - you guys are the best!
Anything to remember my mom would be wonderful and very appreciated. Even just your words mean so much. Man...this is so touching!
I can't wait to see you guys - we'll have to have a big group hug! :)
Lets set a day where we all meet. We can do it on a weeknight, or Friday? What does everyone think?
