Jade and I have been having more in depth heart to heart talks. Some of the things we talk about I know she couldn't have before with me. I am pretty conservative and she (like alot of young people) isn't. I don't agree with alot of her ideals, and to be honest she doesn't agree with mine either. But at least we are talking and now she isn't afraid to talk to me about things either even if I tell her exactly how I feel and I don't agree with it.
She was invited to a couple of friends houses over the weekend. Parties for Shane. She didn't go to any of them. She stayed at home and her reason was that she wanted to be with her mom. That lumps up my throat like you wouldn't believe, even writing this I am tearing up.
We talked alot, but hugged and held each other even more. Sometimes there just isn't any words to say.
Saturday was the worst day. As Jade explained to me that the day before he died they got into a huge fight and she was so mad at him for being high. I came home in the middle of it and ended up taking his keys away from him and calling his grandfather and his mother to let them know he was so messed up.
It's hard being a mom sometimes, we are the ones that are supposed to kiss the booboo's and make bad things go away.
This was taken Thanksgiving of 2006 and it doesn't show completely how cute they looked. She is only 5foot and he was 6ft7inches.

It's always good to keep the lines of communication open with your kids.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I take it you are a real outdoorsy woman? Your post gave me hope that spring is not too far away! I cannot stand anymore snow and cold.
