GREAT MEMORIES - AUNT BERNADETTE

CHRIS:  I KNOW AT THIS TIME NO WORDS CAN STOP THE HURT AND ACHE THAT YOU ARE FEELING BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE ARE HURTING WITH YOU.   IT’S SO SAD WHEN IT TAKES TRAGEDY TO MAKE US THINK BACK ABOUT THE WONDERFUL TIMES WE HAVE SHARED.   WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT TIME IS NOT PROMISED TO ANY OF US.   YOU ARE ON MY MIND AND IN MY PRAYERS AND YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT LEO AND WHEN HE WAS LITTLE.  I REMEMBER WHEN HE USED TO TAKE OFF HIS DIAPER AND RUN AROUND NAKED AS A JAY BIRD AND EVERYONE WOULD START TO CHASE HIM DOWN THE HALL.   HE WOULD BE LAUGHING AND ROUNDING THE CORNER AS FAST AS HIS LITTLE LEGS COULD CARRY HIM.  THEN ONE DAY HIS AUNTIE VERA TOLD HIM IF HE DIDN’T PUT HIS DIAPER BACK ON, SHE WAS GOING TO TIE A BIG RED BOW ON HIS “YOU KNOW.”   WELL, THAT DIDN’T STOP HIM…………….HE STOPPED SO SHE COULD TIE THE RIBBON ON AND THEN WENT RUNNING ALL AROUND SO WE COULD SEE HIS BIG RED BOW FLYING IN THE WIND AS HE RAN!!  WHAT A MEMORY; AND I CAN STILL SEE HIM LAUGHING AND SCREAMING.  I HOPE THIS WILL BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE AND LOTS OF OTHER WARM MEMORIES WILL COME TO SURFACE TO WARM YOUR HEART.  WE LOVE AND MISS YOU LITTLE LEO.

What a great remberance of our baby Leo...I kind of remeber that. Way to funny....and you know as an adult....if you told him that we would put a red ribbon around his you know what....he would say "ok...here you go"
