Lists

Madison kept up the family tradition of making lists.  I make lists, my mother made lists and her mother made lists.  I believe my sisters make lists and I know Dallas and Derric do too.  Everyday I have a new to-do list.  There are shopping lists, lists of big chores, small chores and repairs.  Lists for work, home, school, people, you name it and I probably have made a list for it.

After we lost Madison I found some of her lists.  She had to-do lists, but also baby name lists, favorite tv show lists, Pokemon lists, tv show character lists even lists of colors.  She had lists of family members, friends and you get the picture.  I now find myself in the happy position of helping to assemble a wedding list.  Derric, Madison's big brother is getting married and we, Mark, Dallas and I are crazy about Leslie.  I know that Madison would have loved her too and that Leslie would have loved Madison.  We are happily looking forward to their wedding day and I know that Madison will be there in spirit but...

So here was my to-do list for today April 10, 2018.

• 9 AM Mass
• Home Depot
• Costco
• Doctor appt
• Visit Madison's grave
• Dinner

It was a much shorter list than most days.  Today is Madison's birthday, she would have been twenty five years old.  I love and miss her terribly.

Happy Birthday sweet girl!!!  That's all I got
