A wonderful presense.......

Life is unpredictable. It truly doesn't matter how much you plan. You can never truly be prepared for everything. A good example is the wonderful Ginny Atwell. While she was ready to die and told me on several occasions. When she actually passed, I truly don't feel i was ready to deal with it. Which would explain why I'm using distractions to deal with it. Yes its good shes not in pain. Yes its good she has gone to heaven to be with God. Yes its good that she is happy, as she has wanted to be where she is for a long time. No its not easy to deal with her being gone. Dying before Christmas, missing out on seeing her favorite kiddos growing up. That is not easy. She was a blessing to so many people. And will probably continue to be, when Ginny makes an impact on you, you don't forget it. The way she helped so many college kids when she worked at the college. The way she was so giving in everyday life. Her quirks are hard to forget. She was a force to be reckoned with in so many ways. I knew her for 2 short years but have so many memories and reminders. Our joint fondness for football and Ozzie's restaurant, ( the restaurant is all her fault if i remember correctly that's where i met her for the first time and we went there a bunch of times after). And of course watching her rip her wig off and run off in the rain is etched in my mind forever!!!!
I was talking to Melissa about football and the playoffs yesterday and it hit me kind of hard. Ginny and I were gonna get together and watch the superbowl this year.......... We are the only 2 in our part of the James family who likes or understands football.......... So we were gonna do our thing and watch it together............ And I suddenly realized she wasnt going to be there to root on the team of our choice. And id never hear her rant on Peyton Manning again ( she REALLY didnt like him. lol )......


I will truly miss her......
