The shrinking Trudie

Well, Trudie is on a diet......the vet told us it is time. Trudie has a different opinion on the subject. She is starving to death! I caught her eating paper yesterday; and every moment when we are not looking, she steals food from the cat and polly. This morning she ate her food and polly's food. Dang it! Now she is going to have to walk an extra 15 minutes tonight. Oh well.

Happy Birthday Matt

Well, it is another year without Matt. I will always remember his birthday, just always. He would have been 54 years today. I wonder what things he would have done, how would he have held up in the recession? I wonder what ideas he would have had. Well, he is not here.
I remember the day I lost him. Can you believe I was angry he actually did something without me? I wanted to scream...but nothing would come. I wonder what he experienced when he left his body. What did he feel when he came to see God? Did he turn and wonder about those who love him? I know he expressed concern for his family...I know he loves us so. The first Christmas winter without him brought so much snow. More snow then Fortuna had seen in a long time. He knew I loved the snow, I always prayed for it. I wonder if he sent it just for me. Matthew, with tears that will always fall just for you...I love you always. I am okay....working hard for my degree....and God brought me ken, he is wonderful. I have two wonderful men in my heart....I am a lucky woman. I love you darling, I will see you someday once again......
