Dear John

Dear John,
I want to start off by saying that you will be missed. I want to tell you that 19 years wasn't long enough but that's just selfish. You are with the Lord and that's a much better place than this Earth. Unfortunately, we don't share many memories; just a couple of conversations about our kids and life. I wish you could have gotten out to see Chicago. You are right! It is a beautiful city. Christian and I were looking forward to showing you what we know about it. He was just telling me that when you and G came here he wanted to take you to see Navy Pier and the Shedd aquarium. Those are his favorite things about Chicago.
Children are so funny! Every time we talked about you, it turned into a conversation about football! It will always be that way. Before I could tell Christian you were gone, he asked if you were coming to see him. He was so excited to think that all of his uncle's were going to come to his football game. I think he was a bit heart broken when I told him you were with God now but we I explained how wonderful a place heaven is, he was OK with it. I could see the relief in his eyes to know that you were with God, free of suffering and pain that we all experience here on Earth. I feel the same way. It warms my heart to know that we will meet one day and that is what I will hold onto.
Love always your big sister,
Joselyn

I miss you!

Dear life,
I miss you! It’s been weeks since I’ve written a blog, been to bed on time, watched TV or done anything not related to school or work. I do get to spend more time with Christian and his football activities but I still miss you. Don’t get me wrong…I love school! But I just miss the time we shared watching Chelsea Lately, cleaning, and playing wii. I wish I could have you and school but it’s just not possible. I mean, I even have to schedule phone time! How crazy is that?! But I promise you this! As soon as school is over, it’s just me and you! I hope you miss me as much as I miss you!
Sincerely,
Dazed and confused

P.S. can I borrow $20?

WT...

Today's hmmmm...moment is brought to you by the letters W, T, and F.

WTF. We all know what it means and since I started back to school, I've used it more than ever. When I think about all the times I have used it over the last few weeks, I giggle. So to start your weekend off with a nice giggle (or some floor-rolling laughter) I decided to share my favorite "WTF" moments with you. Enjoy!

WTF are you doing? This is a one-lane exit ramp tard! That's why that sign says "don't not enter"

WTF are you thinking about taking my parking spot? Don't get yourself hurt

WTF!? Is this kid really chasing squirrels in the middle of campus?

WTF! I don't want your flier! Touch me and I WILL bite you

WTF? Is this kid really yelling at his self? and did he really just smack his self because he is late for class?

WTF are you so dumb? I said the knee bone is connected to the shin bone!

Are you serious? Did you just let you kid take all the shoes off that shelf? WTF are you allowed to procreate?

WTF!?! Did that girl really have on a skin-tight purple shirt/dress and lime green weave?

WTF did you ask me if I wanted you to leave room in my coffee cup for cream and sugar then proceed to fill that sucker to the rim when I clearly said "YES"

WTF have you been in school 3 years and still don't know that reading is fundamental?

WTF are there 20,000 students at NIU and there only seems to be 12 parking spots.
and last but not least....(insert drum roll here)

WTF do you feel the need to share you BM history with me? (That's for you, TS! and notice people I didn't leave out a B (BBM=blackberry messenger). I REALLY MEAN BM, as in bowel movement)

Enjoy your weekend and remember...don't become someones WTF moment.
