When Something bad happens...

I have a new obsession.  Pinterest.  It is bad. 

Every single time I click onto it, this quote stares at me.

I swear that it is "really" speaking to me.  Really.
Like I swear that our cat Ruthie is my mamaw or that the "Amazing Grace" shrimp boat was my mother-in-law.

I swear this quote keeps coming up like a "whack-a-mole". Over and Over again.

And I think of myself, my son and my friends who have lost children.  My friends are tough and gentle cookies.

And then I sit back and say, "I'm getting strong."

And then I lean forward and say, "I surely hope my button is too."
