The weekend...

What a weekend!

I made the trip from Houston down to Corpus Christi for Mother's Day. I mowed the yard, grilled some steaks, pork ribs, and chicken breasts. Mom and Dad shouldn't have to cook for most of the week. I also helped Mom order a new laptop. I'm disappointed that I couldn't convince her to go Mac.

If we would call the weekend those hours between going to our jobs, my weekend ended today (Monday) at noon. In that time, I received two phone calls informing me of different friends/acquaintances passing away.

One was a little girl from the church I used to work for. She had been fighting a brain tumor since last August. She was in kindergarten. I got that call Saturday night.

The other was a friend of mine from high school, a few years younger than I. There was a car wreck. That call came in today at about 11:55 AM. I was just getting to the office.

What a weekend to lose such wonderful people. To Ali Christian and Mrs Bigbee, I pray for your comfort and peace in the loss of your children.
