Jenni!!! You've Made Me Cry Bittersweet Tears

15 years ago

And you're a VERY special person! Thank you so much for the windchimes..they're beautifu!!! I've already hung them and they are "singing a song upon the wind"!! Your thoughtfulness and kindness will be remembered always!!

Jenni sent me some beautiful windchimes, along with the beautiful poem "Song on the Wind"! I've read the poem and have used it myself in the past, but to be on the receiving end of such kindness touches my heart to the core!!

Thanks again Jenni!! Love you!!!!!

I'm glad you liked it Brenda. May it always remind you of Ronnie.
For those of you that aren't familiar with the poem, here it is.

Song on the Wind
Take these windchimes that I give you,
Hang them high up in a tree
Let the melody remind you,
Of the spirit that is He
He would have wanted song,
To come and fill your days
He would surely bring you laughter,
If there was any sort of way
If he could, he'd grin that grin of his,
That crinkled up his eyes
That somehow owned a twinkle,
He never could disguise
There's nothing to replace,
The one you knew and loved
But you can listen for his song of joy,
From the chimes hung up above.
When you hear the wind pass through them,
You'll hear a happy sound,
The notes will fill your heart,
And you'll know that he is around
Take these wind chimes that I send you,
Let their music fill the air
Let them sing a song upon the wind,
And feel him standing there

Oh, KYgirl--Big hugs coming from me, too. I haven't been on his forum in a while because I've been dealing with our own build from He$$, and I didn't read all the responses in this thread, but I did read your original post. We've just gone through something very, very similar--different problems, but similar in scope, jerk of a builder, almost no on-site supervision, several horrible subs, lots of stress and tears. It has been horrible. We ended up moving into our house ten days ago while it was still unfinished because of having to be out of our rental, reaching our bank deadline for closing, etc. I just wrote you a long post, but realized that it ended up being about me, not you--and this is your thread! So, I guess I just want to say that I sympathize with you, and I think I understand a lot of what you must be feeling. It's a good day if I haven't cried more than once before 9 a.m.! This has been the most stressful, unpleasant experience of our lives. Friends will say, "Oh, you must be so excited to be in your house," and I feel like a spoiled brat if I don't respond positively. It has been a nightmare. There's still lots to be done here, dh and I are doing and/or redoing stuff that we've already paid contractors to do, but they either did a crappy job or haven't been showing up. It just sucks. As badly as I feel for you, reading your post at least made me feel as though I'm not the only one who has gone through this and I thought you might want to know you're not alone. The old misery loves company routine, I guess! Take care of yourself, and try not to let it get you down--I know how hard it is, but if we don't look at the positive side, we'll go completely crazy. Although, at least you could then plead insanity when you're charged with killing Mr. Peanut!

Oh you lucky duck. I was the recipient of Terri's Tayberry Jam and boy do I wish I had more. It is fantastic. Enjoy -- but eat it slowly. You'll be sad when it is gone. I have a "Made by Terri" apron, too! I use it all the time. The handiwork on it is lovely. How thoughtful that Terri made one for MacKenzie, too. And a summer dress! I think I remember seeing her dresses on Chance, too. What a lovely and thoughtful swap box. Ann matched up two very special people.

Need to cry....almost at the end of remodeling...

Thank y'all sooo much!!! Check out some of the remodel on HD page...I feel reenergized to get these final steps completed because I spent yesterday with her and this morning she came out of surgery cracking jokes! She's in a great deal of pain..the surgeon said it was adenocarcinoma and if she had come in 2 months later it would have been a different outcome...he feels he was able to remove all affected parts but had to go in through her back/underarm and chest to get it..she'll be in ICU for 2-3 more days then a private room...he'll get the results back to make sure all perimeter cells are clean by Friday....we are going to bust our tails with these last inspections (big one tomorrow) and start moving household goods in each trip out there..Friday the kids and I will go visit her if she's out of ICU...they don't let kids go in ICU so we spent 5 hours with her the night before...my kids are just precious things..they prayed with my grandma and reminded me that God had control of her...wow...don't think I had that clear thinking at their age..just knowing she made it through and is being watched over by all her family/friends makes me feel energized to take on the end of this house..I am so hoping she'll come to her "blue" room to stay with us to recuperate..her room at home is the same shade of blue and I hoped it would make her feel at her home..she's lived in the same house for over 60 years! My fondest memories of growing up were on her farm, and that's really been my inspiration to buy this farmhouse...I want my children to live those summers I cherished for the rest of their time home...having her to take care of would just be a blessing!! She'll teach me how to can vegetables and put up jellies! :) Thanks for your prayers!!! Tara

Aw, that's our Jenni for you. She always does the sweetest, kindest and most thoughtful things.

Nice job, Jenni! You are a terrific friend.

Is that the poem that Leslee wrote when her son's friend died? I love that poem. It's so perfect.

Aww...that's great, Bump. Thanks to Jenni for being so thoughtful.

Several years ago my Ya Ya crew gave me a set of windchimes. They told me that when I heard them it meant that the Ya Yas were thinking about me. It's even more precious to me now that two of them are gone. I know they still think of me.
