I love to get lost in a good book. I love to dive into a whole new world of somebody else's life. Whether it be through a movie or a book.
To escape my world.
The dailies of life, the heartaches, the trials, the loss.
It is good for me.
I have lost myself in a few good books lately. It is good.
The reality for me right now is hard. I miss Daxton. It has been a very poignant loss as of late.
Maybe it is the time of year. Maybe it is from being away from my normal circumstances. I don't know.
I am going to go back to my non reality world of my book.

Mrs. Debbie
Few people in life touch your hearts and are never forgotten. They come into your life and make such a difference that you will never be the same again. You will know them forever and you will always remember the small acts of kindness they serve you with.
Mrs. Debbie is one of these few. Each week Savannah will beg to talk on the phone to Mrs. Debbie. She will count down the days until Sunday (we reserve this day for her otherwise she would beg EVERY day and every Sunday seems to be enough begging for me) so that she can talk to her beloved Mrs. Debbie. She will grab my phone and say, "Mommy, you have Mrs. Debbie phone number?" And of course she knows I do, so what can I do but say yes and dial the number.
We then here Savannah say "HHHEEEEELLLLLOOOOO? Mrs. Debbie? This SaVanNah." And on the other end we hear a laugh. Savannah giggles and says, "Mommy, Mrs. Debbie laughing." And so begins the weekly 30 minute ritual of Savannah talking to Mrs. Debbie. I always wonder if she is imposing on Mrs. Debbie's day. But I am always reassured that Savannah calls at just the right moment when Debbie needs to hear... HHEEEELLLLOOOO?
Let me give you a little background on Mrs. Debbie. She is the mother of one of Doug's long time friends and a very big part of the Kunz's family. She has taken to Savannah. Each time we go to Idaho to visit, we stop at Mrs. Debbie's house to see her, to feed her chickens, and to collect the eggs, and of course to collect many a kisses and hugs. It is not uncommon to see Savannah glued to her hip. And the best part, Mrs. Debbie LOVES her!!!! LOVE IT!!!
Mrs. Debbie has a darling daughter of her own with many physical challenges and trials. The last time Doug was in Idaho he and his family thought it would be a good idea to give back to Mrs. Debbie and her family, for she has touched out hearts forever. We made this come to pass with the "Make a Wish" Foundation. It is an organization that provides a "wish" to children ages 2 to 18 and their families. There is a significant amount of paper work and phone calls but it was all worth it.
We were able to present this to our Darling Mrs. Debbie's daughter. My husband and his crazy family put on quite a show. Maybe I will post the video if I ever get smart enough, but don't hold your breath.
Anyway, this one is for you our Mrs. Debbie!!!!! You are one of a kind. Truly.

My own little world
Yes. It's true. I live in my own little world. In fact, my world is the only world I have ever known. I only see things with my own eyes and put it into my own perspective. Now, I do try to see things through the eyes of others and their worlds that revolve around them which I guess helps me to see other people's perspectives.
The world I know revolves around me. I try to look around at others and see what they are seeing, but I still can only see through my eyes. It's true. Ever since I was a little girl the world revolved around me. Then when I got married my world revolved around my husband and me. After a few kids, the world now revolves around them. So you see, I live in my own little world.
I had this thought as I was making a 17 hour drive. I watched as all the other cars passed by and wondered about the people inside. They likely have friends. They likely have families. They likely have their own challenges and trials. Some I may have known, some I may not know, and some I may get to know. Who knows, I may have seen one of you. :)
I know. Random. But it was just a thought. And I just thought I should share.
