Forgetting Someone

Forgetting someone is like forgetting to turn off the light in the backyard so it stays lit all the next day
But then it is the light that makes you remember.

Just saying...

So my mom heard today that her youngest sister passed away last night. I was talking to her on the phone and she said that she felt like crying and I told her to go ahead and do it. She said she didn't want to cry in front of the kids. (Jesse & Kailie were at her house today). I told her that it would be fine and the kids would understand.

I think that Kailie was outside, but Jesse was sitting in the chair next to her and heard what she said. He's such an awesome kid. He'd probably hate it that I am saying this 'cuz he's 14, but he's got such a tender heart. He said to my mom after we hung up. "You can cry on my shoulder, Grandma, I don't mind." I just love that kid.
