No Words

It was a Divine appointment with an assist from Jolene and myself.When feelings are hurt between family no words are necessary sometimes.So we had breakfast and we looked at the house they will move to soon.Too many people for one car so they rode together.You never think that two people who grew up together would ever ever grow apart.It happens and it happens in all families.Their kids would run and throw sticks in the water.Boo would never tire of fetching the stick out of the water.And of course Julian and Cash thought that doing that was better than Six flags.We would get a picture of the kids under the tree throwing up leaves.Your kids are without a doubt one of life's greatest joys.Up until about 7 years ago I thought our family was invincible. I know that was foolish and prideful now.So each day now my wife and I ask For God's help for every aspect of our life but especially for our children and family.We had been praying for this day not even sure we could arrange this ourselves but confident that God could.We are all very fragile when it comes to matters of the heart.We get so busy that we sometimes forget to do the little things that are so special- call, text,stay connected somehow or as Jesus said LOVE.As two of my kids watched their kids laugh and run and throw leaves on each other I saw them smile at each other - like I said no words are necessary sometimes.

We grew up together playing play both organized and in the backyard.Sometimes it seems like yesterday and other times it seems like only a dream.I think back in the day all of us at one time or another wanted to be Richard Haggard.Good looking,great mom and dad and a beautiful sister.He was probably the best athelete ever to come out of Model High.He gave me a ride home many times in that 1957 Chevy.I still wonder what he would have done at the college level playing either football, baseball ,or basketball.I remember his senior year Coach Tuggle decided our best pitcher-Richard should be our catcher and he played like he had been doing it his whole life.Three awards as most valuable player in the 3 sports he played.Richard represented everything I wanted to be and have.Your family inspired me to one day have a family like yours.Although Richard and I lost touch after high school our time together continues to be very special to me.May the Lord hold you close and put put your broken heart back together. I am so thankful for having known Richard and so blessed that he passed my way. Lidelle
