Miracles Amaze Me Today :)


My D Day, 11 Days Early...smile Today was just awesome... I got up this morning, with a little Nervousness running thru me not knowing how the day would be... But Charged on, Stopped at the Local Gas Station for a Cup of Joe, and just when I was getting ready to walk out, There was My BEST Friend from High School, I haven't seen him in about 2 years now, and he was just as happy to see me :) We talked for a couple minutes, and I stole his a Hug, and had to get moving... I knew it was going to be a good day after that, for when I see him, it just always turns out that wayh.... Sooo went to school to volunteer, Which again was great, Got to see my Neice & Nephew...Always makes me smile...

So the plan was, afterwards I would meet the New Owner of Dad's Trailer at the MVA and sign things over, well called the MVA to make sure I had everything I needed... They told me If I gave her my executive papers, "I Didn't Have To Do Anything But Sign it and She could do the rest"... How WONDERFUL :)

I don't know if any of you remember the run around that the land owners gave me about all the "Up Keep" they wanted done if the trailer was to stay, but it was things like "Replace all the skirting around the trailer, build (2) Porches, paint the outside, Trim work, were to park, HOW to park, were company parks" You get the idea... Well I called them Monday and told them "Dont Worry It will be out by the end of the week :)" Well to my surprize... They called the lady I gave it too, and after telling her that same crap and she just said "Naaa I'll Move it" They called her today and said... "All You Can Keep It There" and thats that....

They wanted me to pay to have the pipes in the ground fixed, and everything, they told her not a problem... Funny how Money hungry people can be.. I guess it wouldn 't bother me as much but this family "Landowners" are the biggest Money Bags in that small area,  and apparently they got that way by "Wrip'n people Off"...

BUT... Back to ME :) So went and did some shopping for the weekend during lunch and she was to meet me here after Noon... She came, she thanked me serveral times, and after speaking to her, I am soooo Glad I did what I did... She had told me she was in ill health and that she had two daughters that she wanted to put their name on it, in case anything was to happen to her. And Last Year she lost her Other Daughter in a bad car crash, and her currant living arrangement has her on Nerve medicine and she thinks this will be a good start for her...Well before the conversation was over... I thru in the Nice Wood Shed to go with the trailer... She was just thrilled...I wanted to bring it here and store some things, but I don't NEED it... She NEEDED it... So that made me feel pretty good... I gave her the Keys, signed the Title, made copies, and after as short chat, we went our seperate ways...

I ALMOST... Wanted to go do a "Shot" in celebration for that is how my Afather would have handled it... But instead, my husband desided a "Victory Dinner" was just what I needed... It was Wonderful... Just him , I and our Boy... I think it is the first dinner in some time that I could accually enjoy eating...

The stress of this ordeal has been alot to bare, and I am sure I upset more then one person with sending everything to Goodwill and handing the rest of it away, "To other then them"... But I did try and do the best that I could, and now I know that My Afather can rest in peace, and Now I can focus on picking him out a nice head stone, and moving forward in my life... I have found myself in many things I Never wanted to be a part of, but in pushing my self to completion... I MADE IT, And maybe a nudge or two from HP :) I had to "Make" decission, I had to deside Every detail of my Afathers barial, from picking out the casket, to setting up the service, to making the letter for the paper, to ordering the flowers,  planning the after dinner, and the announcements, to caring for his belongings, "Or lack there of" for getting rid of his trailer, and all its contence... I know that if it not have been for Al'anon,  I would still be right were I left off, 6 VERY Long Months ago... Of his 5 Kids, I am having a little bit of a Selfish moment for I did it!!! With out the all... Now I can sleep at night & My Daddy-O can Rest In Peace :) 

I am so Grateful at this moment... I can only hope it lasts, even if just for a little while... What a blessing to know that I can do about anything I put my mind to, as long as I include HP, and my own inner thoughts and feelings... Who knew that person has been hiding in there all this time... It is almost sereal to me... But at this Moment.. I'll take it for I have completed my Mission for my Afather, 11 days early... God is Good, Hp is Great, and Jozie aint to bad her self... For I NEEDED THIS MOMENT... 

Thanks for listening to me Gloat... Promise to keep that to a minimal :) I just feel like doing cart wheels for a change, instead of crawling under a rock... I like this Much Better :) 

Love & Prayers and THANKS TO ALL!!! for your Guidence, support, kindness,love, care, and Prayers...  Most Grateful to all of you :)
Jozie

Cool post, Jozie. You did it. YOU did it, and you blessed someone along the way.

Personally, I love to hear "gloating" on this board. It is always so well-deserved.

Blessings,

Lou
