GROWING UP IN HEAVEN

James Van Praaugh, a well-known medium and author, was in town yesterday doing a book signing and messages. He was also on a local tv program talking about his new book which was written for parents who have lost a child. I believe in signs, have received a few from Naethyn, and I am so open to receiving many more. I just thought I'd "share" this find as it might help some who need some more uplifting. Well, it's been about a month since I've updated my own blog, so I thought I'd do just that. Two weeks ago, I helped my husband pack up his classroom (gets easier when you've had to do that a few times). He's saying goodbye to a District after 9.5 years of teaching. Come Fall, he and I will both be teaching in a different District at the same high school located less than 1/2 mile from our home! Got to love that! We just found out yesterday that the variance for our eldest son was approved, so life just got a little less complicated there as well. Finally, . . . and I'll take it! We were able to sneak away to our favorite places in Southern California last week. I wish that I could bottle up that weather and take it with me. I miss it! The kids are loving the beach more and more and Tristyn was willing to try some new-to-him rides at Legoland without freaking out! This is huge! Donovyn was reluctant at first, but with coaxing was willing to do the Skyride at the Zoo! So proud of my kiddos for trying new things without tears:) Some pieces of the great puzzle of life seem to be slowly coming together. Some pieces I fear I will never be able to put back or find. I am still very much on a journey of accepting the past, but I know that my son is not alone, "growing up in heaven."

  • I love those pictures! So fun. :)

    Congrats on finding new jobs that are so close to your home. That is wonderful news. I am glad things are getting less complicated. You certainly deserve it!

    Take care,

  • Always love seeing updates from you!  That sounds so nice that you will both be teach at the same place and that your son's variance got approved!  Yay for less complicated!  Legoland looks like so much fun, looks like the kids had a blast!  

    Hugs!

  • I've been packing and moving too....but not for the joyous reasons that ya'll are.  Hope your transition is easier and that you love your new school!!  

    Love the pics!!  My nephews and daughter would love to go there....they're always on the legos first thing when they get together.  

    Hugs to you,

  • sounds like things are working out as far as work goes for next year.  What a blessing!! I can't wait for summer vacation to start (we still have 2 weeks of school left here).

    thanks for sharing the pics of the boys.  They sure are growing up fast! I wish you could bottle up the California weather too... then you could send some to me!!

  • What cuties!  gotta love a little get-away.  So glad that some things seem to be falling in place for you- you deserve it!

    Thanks for the note about the author too, i've never heard of him- i'll have to look it up.

  • Lindsey,

    It is great when life pieces are fitting in.... and I am so glad things are working out for you and your family. Yes, I understand that feeling, that some pieces will never fit, but I have discovered, with the years, that those sad pieces were the master pieces to get you solve many things in life. Now I understand it and accept it, even though sometimes I have my sad moments thinking of them.

    As always I love to hear from you, and feel so happy for all of you doing so fine, the kids look great and so happy.

    big hug
