Paying it Forward

My loan fiinally came through, and I can get IRS off of my rear end. This was a terrible year financially, and I was fortunate that the temple was able to help me out, especially when food ran out. Now it's time for me to pay back. The temple made sure I had food with a gift card from Fry's. Now I'm returning that card along with several new ones, so that I can help those others who are also in need. Isn't it a shame that the whole world doesn't work this way. We could do away with hunger and possibly wars.

Loneliness

Even though I am surrounded by people, I feel so very alone, especially at this time of year. My mothers birthday would be coming up. Lori's birthday just passed by. Lots of holidays are coming, yet they somehow seem distant without the ones I love around me. David and Kendell are moving in, yet Jennifer moved out, and June has busied herself with school and her natal family. I'm beginning to understand the inevitable loneliness that comes as we get older. How cruel is life as we approach its ending lines.

Lori's Birthday

Today would have been Lori's birthday. I miss her so much. Sometimes life just doesn't seem fair. Here we had planned to grow old together, and instead my memory of her today was an audit by the IRS of her medical expenses. It was just a very cruel day.
