long time no blog

Hi, been what 5 years.  A lot has happened over  those years, some good, some bad but I'm still ticking.  Still missing my mom everyday, infact I was at Julies today and we were talking how things just aren't the same and that we,me and her won't be the way we were before mom died.  Julie has come a long way with her grief, she talks to me about it, pretty much every time we see each other.

Not sure if anyone follows this, I started a new one that is kind of dark but truthful non the less, it's about living with bipolar.  I'll update this one as well.

Michelle and Herschel are being baptised March 30th, I know Grandpa Nigg is happy and so is mom.  I'm so proud of both of them for doing it.

Maurice is 5 now, a handsome young man with a sparkle in his eyes and a birth mark kiss on his chest from mom.  We talk to him about Grandma Blanche and MaryAnn, he says they play with him in his room.


anyway, I'll post more later

Lucy was hit by a car about a month ago. Julie and Hersch, she broke her pelvis in several places. She's okay but she has a plate there with 9 screws!! Not sure how they did that in that little body but they did. She's doing pretty good and knows her limitations.

Maurice's first bath by himself, we were at The Dakota Magic in ND. We went to visit Grandma Yak Yak (Blanche) and Mom's grave. We had a great time with Grandma Yak Yak, however, she is getting worse. She had a mini stroke, called TIA. Sad to see her going through it. But she enjoyed the visit. Maurice instantly smiled when he saw her. He's such a sweetheart. Oh and Michelle is a wonderful mother.
