goes to the vet in an hour. As I wrote previously. he has a lump on his leg. I am sure that this is nothing. I prayed to God and Shirley last night just to cover my bases. She knows I could not handle anything wrong with my stinker. So I am sure everything will be fine!!!
Hey did I mention that I got a little handheld video camera for Christmas...so I will be filming everyone on our trip to Mexico...four weeks from today!!!
Love,
Teresa
P.S. PRAY FOR THE STINKER!!!!

Excerpt from another song...
Got the news on Friday Morning
But a tear I couldn't find
You showed me how I am supposed to live
Now you showed me how to die
I was lost til Sunday morning
I woke up to face my fear
While writing this goodbye song
I found a tear
I'm going to miss that smile
I'm going to miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I would do it all again.
So play it sweet in heaven
Cause that's right where you want to be
I'm not cryin cause I feel so sorry for you
I'm cryin for me.
But a tear I couldn't find
You showed me how I am supposed to live
Now you showed me how to die
I was lost til Sunday morning
I woke up to face my fear
While writing this goodbye song
I found a tear
I'm going to miss that smile
I'm going to miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I would do it all again.
So play it sweet in heaven
Cause that's right where you want to be
I'm not cryin cause I feel so sorry for you
I'm cryin for me.
A Song...
this was posted on the Cholangiocarcinoma website. It's not really the type of music I listen to but it definitely describes how I feel.

I'm missing Shirley. My mother made us these adorable bags filled with wonderful stuff. As I was sitting there opening it on Christmas Day I could picture her sitting right next to me just absolutely loving this bag. I know mom had Shirley in mind. It was perfect.
4 weeks from tomorrow...Mexico...can't wait to be sitting on a beach drinking their fancy fruity drinks...and baking in the sun.
Love,
Teresa

Christmas was not the same...
without Shirley here.
The snow has just made everything crazy. I work for a company that does snow removal so I did end up working over the weekend and I will be swamped from this point on. That's o.k....I need the distraction.
Christmas Eve was absolutely beautiful with all of the snow. It did make Christmas a little treacherous. I hope you all were safe. My Christmas was put on hold with Steve's family until Saturday because of the snow. This really turned out great for me. That gave me time to make it out to see Shirley. I really wish I would have videotaped this event...because it was really quite comical. When we showed up to see her...the snow had drifted so bad that you could not even see the roads in the cemetery. So we parked quite a distance from her and Steve, Nik, Jake and I made the hike to go see her. The snow was up past our knees. Well for me anyway. I'm sure the guys it was at their ankles. But whatever. This is not about how short Teresa is.
I will say that as I stood there ... I reflected on where I was at that moment last year. I knew that a year from then we would not have her. And I had no idea how my life would go on without her. And now...it has been a year. Sometimes I am just angry at myself for being able to go on an entire year without her being here. It should not have been so...I don't want to say "easy" but I don't know any other word. It just should not have turned out like this:(
I did get to spend the entire afternoon at mom and dad's - which I loved. Nice and relaxing. Dinner was delicious. Mom did great. And mom made the ladies all very nice bags with lots of goodies in them. We loved them.
Saturday we spent with Joe and Kelly and their family. It was such a nice holiday weekend.
But we are now back to "normal". It is all over. The trees are down and the house is clean. A month from now we will be in Mexico. Shocking.
I do have a prayer request today. Saturday I found a lump on the bad dog's leg. If you recall...my Rocky passed away a week after I found a lump on his leg. I thought I was going to just die Saturday when I found it. I always massage his back paralyzed legs...ok they are not really paralyzed but he stretches them out and drags them around. So since the day I got him I tell him I will massage his paralyzed legs. It really sounds stupid when I type it. Oh well. As I was massaging...there it was. The size of a ping pong ball and rock hard. I know in my heart this is nothing. But the vet cannot see him until Wednesday. So pray for my stinker. When I decided to love this bad dog...I did so with my entire heart. He has everything from me and I worship the ground he walks on. So no way would he be taken from me.
Now back to my snow billing...yay!!!! Countdown is on to Mexico!!!
Love,
Teresa:)

The weekend...
was very busy. But a lot of fun. Saturday we did get to go to each other's houses and look at our trees and then we went to Crown Center to shop. Crown Center was beautiful.
Yesterday, Kathy and I went out to see Shirley and we decorated. We decorated her tree and brought her a miniature Christmas tree. It felt good to do that for her. Kathy and I could just see her telling us how much she liked it and she would definitely appreciate it.
We are closing in on Christmas. And on Wednesday it will be 11 months since Shirley left us. The emotions are going crazy right now. For all of us.
Love,
Teresa

December 18th....
grrrrr.....
the girls....and Mark:)
One week before Christmas. Time to panic...
Last night was awesome. I had dinner with my girlfriends...and one guy. Mark was our surprise guest last night. Great guy. He wants to be part of our group so bad that Teresa finally invited him. I think he had a great time. I'm not so sure his wife enjoyed him being there. Teresa's house was decorated beautifully and the food was delicious. But it was the company that I enjoyed the most. Again..thank you is not enough for these girls. I did get pictures of her two dogs. They are GOOD doggies. Bad dog did not like the smell of other doggies on his momma.
Bad dog is actually affecting my family members now. I think he is trying to slowly alienate everyone so that he can have me all to himself. I will apologize on the World Wide Web to Cindy for Sue eating her Spaghetti Spoon. Actually...he chewed it, broke it in half and buried it in the backyard....then dug it up and pranced around with it like he just won the Superbowl and this was his trophy. Again...I'm sorry. Cindy will be getting a new spoon tomorrow on our shopping trip. And one less gift for the stinker under the tree. Guess he doesn't care that Santa is watching.
I'm excited for our tree tour and shopping tomorrow. Yay!!!! I will definitely have pictures of that on Monday.
I did visit Shirley last night. I needed that. I think Kathy and I are going to go decorate her little area on Sunday...
So enjoy the few pictures on here...and have an awesome weekend!!!!
Love,
Teresa
