Sitting here with the family.
Stream of Consciousness Sunday.
Our prompt: Family Traditions.
GO.
I sit here in a large medical center.
My childhood nuclear family.
Dad in the bed — my sister and my mother and me.
Guess we had lots of family traditions together.
Lots of which we have discussed the past few days.
Tons of picnics, tons of millage in the car going to Gator games, the mountains of North Carolina and honestly, my brain’s too foggy right now to remember much under the pressure of the ticking clock.
This floated by the window today.
I’m glad I’m here.
I had a great family growing up.
Not everyone can say that I guess.
TIME.

A little back story — my father has been in the hospital since Thanksgiving battling lots of things mainly a bad respiratory infection. At almost 86, his body seems determined to stay ill.
So sorry about your father!
Glad you are able to spend time with him and others right now and that you had a nice childhood!
You have had an incredible challenging holiday season. I’ve missed you here! I hope your dad’s health can improve so he can go home. I’ve enjoyed reading about your family and you’re lucky, in some ways, to be so close sharing time but not in this way, for this reason. Happy New Year. Hope things start turning around.
Jamie, You and your family are in my prayers. I know the holidays have been stressful. I wish for you a wonderful 2013. One of these days we are going to get together and catch up. Oh, there is so much! Take care! Judy
So sorry Jamie ! You are in my thoughts and prayers,
xoxo tiffani
Thanks Judy. A hug to you.
The last thing I said to my mom just before she died last May was that she had given me a happy childhood and that was no small thing. Peace to you.
