Storyteller: Remembering Trevyn
http://nancy-storyteller.blogspot.com/2012/07/remembering-trevyn.html
That, anyway, is what I have learned . Sunday, July 15, 2012. One year ago today, Trevyn Clint Farley flew to the heavens, and changed our lives forever. He was just four years old, and so very beautiful, with big brown eyes and the longest eyelashes I've ever seen. How does one describe a truly broken heart? The day of the accident is still so vivid in my mind. It WAS an ordinary day. Then Rick called and told me that Trevyn had been in an accident. A chest of drawers had fallen on his head,...When you ...

That, anyway, is what I have learned . Tuesday, January 25, 2011. Forever Can Never Be Long Enough For Me. Forever can never be long enough for me. Feel like I've had long enough with you. Forget the world now we won't let them see. But there's one thing left to do. Now that the weight has lifted. Love has surely shifted my way. Today and every day. If I ever get the nerve to say. Hello in this cafe. Together can never be close enough for me. Feel like I am close enough to you. Now that the wait is over.

That, anyway, is what I have learned . Saturday, August 25, 2012. Tristan and Tanner are a year apart, but they are like twins. They mirror each other in unique ways, because they are so opposite in their personalities. I've loved having a camera at hand over the years just to capture the many different crazy-fun things they've done. They have brought me so much joy. July 4th was the day before Tristan's surgery. Tiffany asked me to take some family pictures. I was afraid. Would they be sad? Tristan walk...

That, anyway, is what I have learned . Saturday, July 16, 2011. It started out like any ordinary day, but what happened changed our lives forever. We lost Trevyn Clint Farley, a beautiful 4 year-old son, grandson, great-grandson,nephew, cousin and friend. Our lives will never be the same. There were so many people there to support Shinny, and were there because they loved Trevyn so much. Trevyn's dad was there, too, looking as lost as I've ever seen a man look. But in all of that tragedy, I saw a patchwo...

That, anyway, is what I have learned . Sunday, November 29, 2009. I Thought I Saw Her Face In Mine. A couple of months ago, I was brushing my hair in the bathroom. As I looked in the mirror, I suddenly saw my mother's face in mine. It was a powerful moment. I got goose bumps as her face disappeared. Was it really Mom, or was it just my imagination? It doesn't matter, because I felt her with me. I miss her so much. I never wore lipstick. That is a very odd fact, being one of my mother's daughters....Not l...

That, anyway, is what I have learned . Saturday, September 4, 2010. The Names Have Been Changed To Protect The Innocent. One of Mindy's friends told me a story that made me laugh so hard, I cried. A bunch of boys were going on a Scouting trip. They were in the back of a truck that had a shell cover. There were windows on the shell, so the boys could look out while they traveled to a camp in the canyons. The boys were horrified (can you IMAGINE? I guess the reason it strikes me so funny is that I know the...

That, anyway, is what I have learned . Thursday, October 21, 2010. Tango is Rick's horse, but now she's kind of my horse. Why? Because I said so. After having no choice but to ride Tango this last year, we've been through many adventures, and have formed a lovely friendship. It's not nearly as dear as my connection to Scamper, but after all of the crazy things Tango has done to me (yes, I take it personally), I've come to love her. One day when Rick and I were riding, I was on Tango. She was doing th...

That, anyway, is what I have learned . Saturday, November 27, 2010. Run, Little Rabbit, Run. Mindy, my sweet girl, said "Mom, I found your theme song." I laughed, of course, imagining all of the crazy directions that theme could go. But Mindy surprised me. She knows me better than I thought. When the professor heard my answer, he laughed and said, "Awww, timid little creature. Watch out for those predators! So when Mindy gave me my theme song, I wondered, how did she know? Every sentiment hangs around.
