But I said no that you should have it, and Mom said you should have it too, and I remember sitting at the kitchen table and Mom just came over to me and she stood behind me and was playing with my hair. And then the next day John was helping them clean up in the school and he went and got a certificate with your name on it. And I think John felt bad for me because he said something like I should have gotten one for dance but they didn't have enough left so I could just use the athletic one in my name for the dance one! For a pain in the neck sometimes, he really was a sensitive guy!<br />I remember that as a very nice memory.<br />Isn't it funny the things that stick out in your mind and your siblings don't remember at all?! You have no recollection of this??<br />I wonder if John remembers it?Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679894230965874631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-71804647226371940162009-06-19T10:41:46.427-04:002009-06-19T10:41:46.427-04:00did i care? i really have no memory of this.

My mom isn't doing so well..I talk to her daily (several times actually.) She is sort of my best friend..so I loved your number 9.<br />I wasn't athletic either. I remember in high school having to run a mile (I think?) My friends would take turns walking some of it with me :)<br />I've only won one thing my whole life..a cake & Bible when I was around 10 yrs. old. Our church had revival meetings and when you attended every night your name went in the drawing. I can still remember it quite plainly. A huge white cake with red roses and red lettering. My parents kept the Bible.<br />Thanks so much for sharing so honestly about yourself and for thinking of me!!

Wow..I am sort of speechless. If you met me in person you would know that is difficult for me.. as I'm pretty chatty :) I appreciate this so much!! I still have so much to learn about blogging..I am trying though ;) I can see why you won the award..you are so kind and know just what to say to make people feel better and to uplift them when they need it. It's a high-lite of my day to read your page..I'm blessed to know you, even if we've never met face to face..I know, that if we did..it would be a wonderful thing!!<br />With Gratitude...JereleneJerelenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06529089958420146830noreply@blogger.com
