Through Your Mind, Food, ICU and Now

Image
There are several, many, things  that go through your mind when someone you  love goes through what DJ has gone through. Esp if  you are dealing with someone so young. With DJ,  of course we were all so thankful to still have him with us. However, some of my thoughts were, "we still have him with us", also, "thank goodness he did not lose that eye" (the one where he was cut on the eyelid, just a little more pressure, or the cut a bit deeper, it might have turned out different. Other thoughts were, he is not paralyzed, and he did not have brain damage. As a mom, Amber's main thought that was so hard for her to come to terms was, "he laid there in that ditch, ALONE". My hopes were that being thrown  from the truck, maybe he was knocked out, and maybe he will not remember that time. In ICU he did mention that he remembered coming too in the ditch. My heart broke. Other events after bouncing around in  the truck, seeing a tree (large crepe myrtle),  he doe...

The Screen Door, Hummingbird, 80s Pic, Well House, and Hearts

Image
  Hi... On the way from Nashville,  I40 towards Memphis, a route I have taken so many times and so many more since the accident, I have seen this site. Only thing I can guess, is it fell off a  truck and someone picked it up, sat it over in this field.  But, if it fell from a truck, the glass did not seem to break. And it is standing there in the field with the frame also still around it,  and of course I needed a pic. I could not drive at 80 miles per hour,  down the road and click this site but one day Amber was taking us home. That was my chance! Looks cool standing out there like that. Ray gave me this pic the day  Lori and I headed for the mountains. He said he bought it about ten yrs ago and was going to frame and hang it  but never got it hung.  Apparently, he has no room to hang it now so he gave it do me, and  you all know how I feel about  things on the wall. Which means, I found a place for it. Amber did this 80s look...

16 Yrs Old, Food, On Cars

Image
  Well, looky here, I am back at the blogging thing! It does feel nice to have small things that was put on the side lines for a month, moving back  into my life. It's funny how no matter what you have going on in you life that when something happens to  draw you away from your daily life, things just seem to work out.  Before you know it, the events that drew you away, seem to disappear and  life goes back to the way it was. SLOWLY in this case, but it does work its way out. DJ came home on Saturday, and on Sunday we were able to come together for Braden's 16th bday. The amazing part, DJ was there. Braden was happy for that.  Evie and Beckham. Pulling out all the toys. Beckham talking to Nini. Hannah and Brodie Namath and Beckham DJ sitting and watching the  birthday events unfold. Namath, back of Evies head, Chandler and Jesse. Amber, and Namath. Beckham is a funny boy. He  has a sweet side but his temper can  arise fast. It's so funny, he ...

Old Friend, Old Lady, Going Home, Home, and Misty

Image
 I met with an old friend on Thursday.  Every girl was crazy about this guy in  the 9th grade. Me included. But it was not meant to be and  for me, still not meant to be. But  he treated me to lunch at Cracker Barrel. This is prob the first time we have seen each other in.... 50 yrs or more. While we hung around out of Cracker Barrel talking this cute adorable lady got out of the car. 105 and going strong. She was such a sweetheart. Saturday, look who came home. The fun of coming home wore him out. When DJ went into rehab we were told he needed some t-shirts that were lose for moving around, but they might need to cut the neck out for the brace. I figured Goodwill was the best place to get shirts esp if they had to be cut. While, looking for some I  found a Superman shirt. I took it home and for my  Superman who worked so hard to get home, I made him a  pillow from it. Nana is so glad he is home. I left after a bit and ran some errands, when I wen...
