Fisher Family: Dear Bubba and Lucy,

http://fisherfamily16.blogspot.com/2013/08/dear-bubba-and-lucy.html

Wednesday, August 28, 2013. Dear Bubba and Lucy,. Hey darlin's - it's been a while, hasn't it? It was easier to write to you when our conversations were more one sided - me doing most of the talking. I guess we know that's rarely the case any more :) There's a bevy of words and conversations, shouts and whispers, that engulf much of our time together - I count many blessings in that (sigh). Oh, and lest I forget to mention the other big thing on your horizon this fall - BASEBALL! We blinked and you're he...

Fisher Family: May 2013

http://fisherfamily16.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, May 7, 2013. A fun things of sort (mingled with some 'housekeeping'). There's a lil' orange button I click here for a "new post." Sometimes that daunts me, sometimes it excites me - today it's more like when I hear an old hymn sung at church, kinda makes me want to cry. I think I cry at those songs for the nostalgia, joy, suffering, steadfastness, faithfulness and mostly for the hope in them. Lost souls found, blessed assurance, wandering hearts bound, souls made well and so on. So, I'm going to...

Fisher Family: gonna be a long monday

http://fisherfamily16.blogspot.com/2013/05/gonna-be-long-monday.html

Friday, May 3, 2013. Gonna be a long monday. Sum of all parts right now. This season of life, if given a title track, for me it'd be "long monday". 9829; soul to soul, heart to heart, cheek to cheek - give me a kiss that will last all week. These are the best life moments - us and those babies (that are so far from being babies that I'm questioned why I still call them that). It's those first waking moments - the embraces, the hair stroked, the quiet of good morningness. The radio's on - the one defining...

Tuesday, May 15, 2012. Hindsight.not letting it get far behind. I didn't listen to her because she was my mother and wouldn't know anything until I was much older. Things I've learned (continuing to learn) from my mother. 1 Patience (unwavering patience) - mostly for those little souls at my feet.the ones that always have to be touching me, even when we're all in the 1/2 bath with the door shut and mama's just trying to potty.

Fisher Family: June 2012

http://fisherfamily16.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 18, 2012. Our baby boy is 4 today. 4 years ago, 24 long hrs after having labor induced, I finally had that huge baby boy placed in my arms - my heart hasn't been the same since. Each day brings new brightness to his eyes, richness to his laughter, immeasurable lengths to how much our hearts can stretch. In my arms, in my heart, my being forever changed - being your mama "holds me" in more ways than you can imagine. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. I like the rain. Wanna ...

Fisher Family: March 2013

http://fisherfamily16.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Friday, March 8, 2013. Deep sigh to be followed by many more). You can't hide from the day - you just brace yourself - one foot in front of the other. It was where we brought our Salem Belle home to when she was just a few weeks old. We couldn’t wait to walk her proudly around the lake. In our minds, she was the luckiest dog in the world to live in such a prime dog-walking spot! Silver lining - you know how I search for those. Your suffering wasn't long and painful - you still had so much dignity and...

Fisher Family: June 2013

Wednesday, June 26, 2013. Before you set your sails.drift in the breeze. I asked her what she planned to do with her life and she said she was way beyond that point already. I'm just happy I remember to be there when it happens she said. (story people). This is going to be one of those "just start typing, just start typing" posts (forewarning). Big sigh) (glance out the window) (another sigh). We've gotten lots of assurance on his readiness for 'big school' - he's not the one I'm (per say) worried about&...

Fisher Family: August 2012

http://fisherfamily16.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 23, 2012. I only do this until I get dizzy and then I lay down on my back and watch the clouds, she said. It sounds simple but you won't believe how many people forget the second part. Story People. Working on my "cloud watching". Stopping, being still, lookin' around, soakin' it up - being in the moment, whatever the moment may be. In my going through stuff the other day, I found that Family Circus comic - that lil' boy still swinging so high, being pushed by his dad, saying "this is my...

Fisher Family: November 2012

http://fisherfamily16.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Monday, November 19, 2012. Hard to impress (a farewell home post). Hard to impress because she's already seen the sun rise today and it doesn't get much better than that. Story People. I've struggled (still struggling) with where to even begin this one.more sighing. I told Seth, it's hard to just sit down and "wear" the sadness of how bittersweet this farewell is. It's hard to think any goodbye would be adequate or give our house it's "due". So, I'll just give this a shot and see where I end up. And how ...
