Ray Made Tonight's Dinner for Me

I stayed up Thursday night until 3:15 a.m.  Or, actually Friday morning.  Went to see Amy Grant in Holland at Central Weslyen Church with guests.  Then, we came back home and socialized.  I stayed up talking with one of the guests until 3:15 a.m.  Today was filled with making breakfast, cleaning rooms, fire inspection, guests checking in, etc.  I am now sitting down in the parlor with Mondo...exhausted.  We are full for the weekend, so that is a good sign.

As I sit here in our parlor I look around at the beauty of the house.  I think back to the times Ray and I would stay somewhere and compare it to the Kirby House.  It makes me feel sad.  Today I looked at a card Ray gave me six days before he died.  I could have broke down into complete tears.  I held back.  I only let a few flow.  I am so proud and happy to have that.  It's so special to look at his handwriting.  So much more personal than emails or e-cards. 

Tonight I am having turkey noodle soup...made by Ray on December 2, 2009.  I found it in the freezer the other day with some other dishes he made.  So, I can officially say "Ray made tonight's dinner for me."  - Jimmy
