winter

Winter arrived, snowing blowing 40mph wind. Wind, something I've hated since I was little. Why? It took my breath away for health reasons..I remember my dad showing me the wind was fine when I was about 2 when all of a sudden a big huge tree came crashing down. That did it I screamed and cried. Never have liked wind or snow or white-outs since. How many times we came home from dad n' mom's after I was married I wasn't sure we were going to make it thru the white-outs. We did but on a wing and a prayer. Once our kid arrived I put my foot down, no more travelling other then necessary in the snow -- today we had to go we made it safely and it was only 15 minutes away but I still hated the wind. I wonder where the angel is that used to sit atop our tree -- I know I'm changing the subject but not really Dad bought that Angel for Mom and ME our first christmas together -- someday I'd like to hand it to our kid but who knows where it ended up after the farm. That's the sad part my kid will never know memories of his grandpa only his grandmother and his other grandpa. Memories need to be made but it's hard. God Bless Us Everyone even in white-out conditions. We have a travel ban on I'm glad we went earlier!!
