Next week at the "All About Me Club", one of the pages we are creating is entitled " For just one more day". The homework asked the questions : Who would you like to spend just one more day with.. What would you do, what questions would you ask them.. when I taught this page the first time, I decided that I would make it about spending another day with my mom. She died so suddenly and there were so many questions I still had for her, that no one else could answer. Even though I would love to spend another day with Kent. So for the page for next week's class; I thought about it again and would love to spend time with my parents or even my grandparents, since they died while I was young, but in reality I would really love to have "1" more day with Kent.. To have an entire day to look into his eyes and laugh and talk with him.. To do those things that we loved to do together and be with him for an entire day.. I would cherish that opportunity and ask him so many questions, like. What is heaven like? What does he do all day? Can he see me and watch over me? Can he give me inspiration and help me when I need it? Just to have him put his arms around me and kiss those soft sweet lips again.. and look into his eyes - to feel his love for me and our family. As I wrote the journaling piece for this page, I missed Kent so much.. It is hard this time of year, when everything centers on family and traditions. But I have such a wonderful family that all live so close and support me in every way. I am truly blessed and feel so thankful for each of my children and my sister who are all so close to me.

Thank you for sharing this with your students AND your blog readers. On the eve of another holiday, I can relate to the ache of not having a loved one around. Peace be with you! How lucky we are that you are a woman strong enough to share your pain with such graceful honesty.
