Personal Affect #9. 8yr old message

old and wrinkled message I keep with me daily

The sky has been full of threats all day.  The radio has been buzzing about tornados and severe thunderstorms and to take cover NOW!  It's not very often I find myself home alone with just two dogs to take care of me during a time like this.  No, I'm usually at work with friends and coworkers to share the fear.  If ever I have had a good reason to go back to work, this is it.  I do not want to go through another today alone.

Today's events brought to mind other "storms" in life that I didn't have to endure alone.  In the photo above I am holding a message that was sent in a bouquet of flowers to my place of work over 8 years ago.  It says "Congratulations!  Here's to an even brighter future."  Love, Mom & Dad.  I had just made a huge career decision that later led to better opportunities.  I keep this note with me as a reminder that I can handle things on my own (with Tad of course), but mom & dad are never far away.
