It's been months since I've written anything here. I simply haven't felt up to it. Life has been a whirlwind of goings-on and I've just sort of been going through the motions without much thought into any of it.
The disbursement is nearly complete. Things are quieting finally. Brenda was very agreeable with the division of the rental properties (she took 111 and I, 135). All the stocks are disbursed; I have reinvested most of mine. All but one of the bank accounts are disbursed, and all of the personal items have either been divided, sold, or donated. The disbursement was peaceful but stressful. We're all still talking and I believe we are all content with our share and how it was handled. We've all got a ridiculous amount of things that we've taken home with us which are now cluttering our abodes. We are all still overwhelmed with everything now on each of our plates, but happy to have the disbursement behind us.
It's weird.
Her house is empty now. This place where we grew up, it was our home for 44 years and now it's all gone, changed, and it'll never be the same again. I won't get to enter it again and have it be as it always was. And I can't wallow in it because I have to show strength for Aaron, Wolfie, and Drew. Things change. People die. And life goes on. Keep your chin up and stay strong.
Aaron. I worry about him. He seems to be trying his best to, like me, just stay strong and keep keepin' on. But I still worry about what he keeps inside. What might be eating at him and does he need to talk. He's been loosing his temper easier lately. He's going to church but not as often as he used to before mom's passing. He's doing fantastic at work! He got a raise and it sounds as if they may have promotional plans for him. I pray for him every day. Pray for God to guide him, give him peace, and keep him safe.
Jr and Corey have moved into an apartment together. I think it's a good thing. Jr has enrolled in college and he's getting out more. Corey coming home was likely the best thing for Jr.
What now.
Time to focus on getting Roy's knee fixed, the house remodel, apartment repairs, homeschooling, and our business options.
