Home Sweet Home

Ah to be home again...I had a good time at home mostly enjoying my family and relaxing. It's a strange feeling to be so close to friends yet far enough away to not be able to see most of them. It was such a good feeling to be with my whole family. We watched movies together and spent most nights helping Logan out with this hay rides through Pecan Grove. I played with Stonewall (aka Stoner) and held Shadow. I got to visit with Tommy T. for a bit and went over to the Meeuwsen's house. I went into Bill's room. I had been preparing myself for it since I found out he passed away. Words cannot even explain how strange it was and strange isn't even a good word. It was filled with gifts that I had given him over the years. Things that meant something but now collect dust and memories are only left to me. I still can't believe he's gone. I sat and talked with his mom and dad for a few hours. She showed me his metals of bravery...Silver Star, Gold Star and Purple Heart. He truly died a hero, but he didn't need metals to prove that. We talked about how there are no bad memories of Bill only good. I can't believe he's gone. I told them about Kyle and how he was there when I found out about Bill and hasn't left my side since then. They told me they were so happy for me and sure that Bill approves. I know he does. If it wasn't for Bill my life would be so different and I am so blessed to have had him as such a strong influence in my life. He's given me a second family and helped me believe in myself when I was at my worst. I told the Meeuwsen's I would be back in town in May for my little brother's graduation so I would come by and see them with Kyle. They are really excited to meet him. This was a very awkward Christmas. But I got through it and am now back to my routine in Miami.

I am very exctied about the bike Kyle is building me it's a 13" Jamis Dakar Pro. It just needs a few more things and it will be up and ready to go in about a week or so. It was so great to see him at the airport when he picked me up yesterday. It was so hard to be away from him for those 5 days. He's already such a big part of my life and I felt like a part of me was missing when we were apart. I can't wait to get through this work week and have 3 days of playing with Krazy Kyle. :o)

If I don't write again before the New Year...I wish who ever might read this the Happiest New Year filled with countless blessings.
