So, how y’all doing??
Thanksgiving came and went- while up to was quite stressful, for a few reasons I won’t go into, the day OF was great!!
My granddaughters paternal side of the family was here and present and it was AMAZING!! My granddaughter FINALLY met her 93 year old great grandmother! We nicknamed her “Mama OG.” She LOVED it! When she met her great granddaughter, she laughed and cried and kept calling her “little Noella” because her Daddy’s name is Noel and she looks JUST LIKE him 🥰. I got emotional just watching her go crazy over Mikhayla, clapping, laughing and crying, so of course, I started to get teary eyed, LOL. Our house was full of love, laughter, and great food!
The next day was the 19th anniversary of Keith’s passing. I wrote on my Facebook wall this status: “
Thanksgiving 2005 was on 11/24. 5 days later, Keith was gone, suddenly and unexpectedly. Most of you know the story I’ve posted/shared for several years. This year, I’ll share this: this little girl- Keith would have been so in love with her. TBH, sometimes the way she stares at me, like she’s looking into my soul, it’s like she’s telling me that her Papa is there. At times she stares at his and my mom’s pictures on the wall, like she recognizes them. When we saw she has an Angels Kiss on her eye, I said “yep, kissed by her Papa and Great Grandma.” I talk with her about her Papa and Great Grandma, though my memories of her Great Grandma Ellie are very limited ❤️
So come every 11/29, I was always be especially thankful for this beautiful baby girl sent from her Papa, watching over us ❤️”
Yesterday, my daughter and her love took Mikhayla to the doctors. Baby girl had a runny nose and was sneezing. Turns out, she just has a baby cold, and was advised to buy a humidifier. Baby girl weighed in at 15 pounds and is 22 inches long.
The kids went to Target to get the humidifier, and my daughter sent my son and I this picture:
How adorable is that?! You know, or maybe you don’t, but I do believe in signs. All day there were songs and videos that reminded me of Keith and now THIS? Keith was a mailman, so of course, I asked my son if he wanted to go halfsies with me to get it and he said Yes. In our group text, my daughter joked that even though it says 3-5 yrs old, they can teach their daughter how to drive it at 1, LOL, PLUS, they’ve never seen it before at Target during Christmas.
So without telling my daughter, my son and I bought it and had it delivered the same day. I did have to tell my son in law, because it was to be delivered between 9 and 10 pm and I didn’t think we were going to be home. FORTUNATELY, we were, my son met the delivery person outside the. Brought it in.
What’s funny as we found out later, my son in law told my daughter, “someone will buy it.” He just didn’t know it was going to be me and Thomas, LOL. There were a few at the store when I placed the order, but when the shopper got to Target, she said there was only one left and the box was a little damaged. I told her to get it anyway and I would call Target in the morning if I needed to.
My son told my daughter that she had mail she needed to look at, trying to lure her to the front room. Instead, she said, “oh, I know, I’ll check it out later.” LOL
My daughter, Sarah, asked Noel if he wanted her to make the baby’s bottle. He said he’ll get it and asked her to get something behind the dogs crate.
She walked out to the front room and was shocked! “What? Where did this come from? How did this happen??!” And started to cry, tears of joy of course. We then had to leave to go to the movies.
My kids and I went to see the movie, WICKED. I LOVED IT! I laughed, cried and cheered, and I look forward to seeing part 2 in 2025!!
All in all, it was a great end of November. ❤️
Now, December 1st. I have two full weeks of work, and one week of finals then Winter break for two weeks.
I will write more later today, after the day really starts.
I hope you all are doing well, and had a very relaxing and enjoyable Thanksgiving.
TTFN,
