Letter to ME

Dear Heidi Ray-

Heeeeyyyy!!! You had a follow-up doctor's appointment yesterday. Dr. E is proud of you! And, I am proud of you too!! You have had a chaotic few weeks in your personal life and guess what?!?! You made good choices and you did the right thing for you and for your boys! Good job, Sis!! But, we do have some work to do. When red flags come up, look at them... notice them... and RUN! You are a runner, afterall!

Tomorrow, your oldest boy is graduating from high school. You are emotional, which is FINE! It's okay to be worried and sad and anxious. It's also okay to be so damn proud of that boy! You have done a great job, Heidi Ray. Your boy is smart, kind, hard-working, funny, respectful, honorable and just the greatest oldest son of all time. He is going places! So, it's okay if you heart bursts tomorrow and tears flow freely. It's ok!

Today, we had another barbecue. Beyta and Mr. Watkins grilled and you served. RJ is retiring. You were a little emotional. Sometimes it's hard when people are leaving... especially after P left. It always feels like he ought to be here... he is would give a humiliating speech and would choke up a bit. He would have everyone laughing, including you. But, to watch how the other guys have stepped up to take care of you is awe-inspiring. They each have their role, it appears. Nothing will ever happen to you... because of them.


Tomorrow starts your birthday month... another first without P. He will be close by, for sure! It will be the happiest, most celebrated month ever! You and the boys are doing just fine, thank you very much!
