Yesterday was the benefit for Justin in St Paul. I was jittery all week about it… the day looming over me. Honestly, I had no idea how crazy hard is would be to see your child’s face on a poster for a benefit. It’s one of those things you look at and you say, “that just can’t be right.” Justin’s co-workers and friends are so AMAZING. What an outpouring of love this event was. Al and I had friends trickle in as well… it’s a good 2 1/2 drive from Brainerd to St Paul so we didn’t expect many to come from Brainerd but were happy to see a few that made the trek.
One nice surprise was a girl I graduated with. Tina and I go back all the way to grade school when her mom made us Little House on the Prairie dresses for something going on at school. I remember we both had the long dresses and bonnets and thought we were “it.” 🙂 It was so good just to have a chance to catch up a bit… part of the craziness of all this that is going on in my life is the amazing support of friends and this is just another example.
and then before we left part of the staff at Sweet Pea’s came and had a picture taken with Al and I.
So today… laying low. Another holiday, Father’s Day. Brad is coming over later with his girlfriend Brittany and we will grill for dinner. Looks like it will be a beautiful day here in Central Minnesota and that is good. I need to find the beauty in each day. Maybe a little reading on the deck this afternoon and maybe I get to mow a bit (you know I love to mow).
