Wednesday, November 13, 2013 -- Happy Birthday Peter!
Tonight's picture was taken on November 13, 2008. The last birthday Mattie celebrated with Peter. That day Mattie created a cake made out of model magic. Mattie shaped it and colored it and even added model magic candles to it. This cake can still be found on Peter's bureau today. As you can see we celebrated Peter's birthday in the Hospital. We actually celebrated many holidays in the Hospital that year, which is why it became our home away from home.
Quote of the day: When we face our fear of death and slow down our busy lives, we come to realize our relationships are precious, a part of life’s foundation. Knowing this fact helps us to understand that death’s true purpose is to teach us how to live. ~ Molly Friedenfeld
I think the candy collection for our Foundation drive has now gotten to me on many levels. I am tired of candy, I am tired of sorting it, and I am most definitely tired of smelling it. Today alone the fragrance triggered a migraine headache. I was so happy that I had a chance to meet my friend Leslie in Maryland and escape our home for a few hours. As you can see Leslie and her family have also been busy. collecting and sorting!!! Here was the collection I picked up from Leslie. I honestly think I could open up a candy store. If anyone from my complex happens to visit me, the sight alone of our first floor is frightening. It actually looks like we are certifiable with candy and plastic bags everywhere.
It is hard to describe the true pervasive nature of this candy, but it is everywhere!!! The next couple of days is our last push for candy. I still am sorting it and collecting it from others but by next Thursday all the candy will be out of our home and into the Hospital! Everyone who participated in this drive has got to be super happy for a job well done!!!
