I am laughing my butt off at my clever daughter's comment. I called her #1 daughter in the previous post because I didn't want to use first born or oldest. Of course she used it to one-up her sister. A ongoing struggle which is a waste of time. I love both of them equally! They are my favorite people in the world even if they do correct me on my herb knowledge. By the way bee balm is another name for Lemon Balm , Miss Smartie!!!
I am glad for a bit of comic relief since I have a heavy heart today for my dear friend, Elizabeth, who is dealing with the lost of her beloved brother-in law Hubert. He married her sister when Elizabeth was 3 years old and then when Elizabeth lost her father at age 6 Hubert was there to fill in the vacant spot.
I only met Hubert once at Elizabeth's mother's funeral but he made such an impression on me that I feel the lost too. I am so sad for Elizabeth's family because he was such an important part of all their lives, a special uncle to her boys, a good buddy to her husband, a wonderful husband to her sister, a father and a grandfather. He will be missed.
They were on vacation together when he fell sick and God ordained some precious memories that they will draw on in the years to come. He and Elizabeth attended church together on Sunday and that story is so awesome that it brings tears to my eyes when I think about it.
Elizabeth made the comment that he was the picture of Jesus on earth, now how is that for a epitaph.
Julie and I are off the Virginia tomorrow for the memorial service. Keep us in your prayers as we travel.
Love to all
Cindi
