Death--

Yesterday Chris called me and I could tell by his voice something was wrong. He said "Mom, Coach Louie died". After being speechless for a bit I said "that really sucks", he said "yeah, I know". I know it bothered him a lot, Louie was one of his first coaches, way back when he was a little 5 year old. We've known Louie for nearly 20 years and he has looked exactly the same for those 20 years. Louie was a great champion for the sport of wrestling and he will be missed by many. I just talked to him last weekend at Masters. One day they are here like you and me and then they are just dead. So sad, so sad and scary, that could be me or you or anybody.
This weekend of all weekends. The great California State tournament weekend... The weekend all of us wrestling junkies are waiting for all year. I know he had to be excited. He had one qualifer for this weekend's tournament, a SS Master's champion has a pretty darn good chance of placing at the state tournament.
Well, I guess this really shook me up. It's been heavy on my mind all day yesterday and this morning. Maybe blogging and some prayer will help ease my mind.

Ahhh, Blogging!! I guess I'll jump aboard the blogging train. It seems to be the thing to do, I guess. I have a lot going on, most of which probably won't be of any interest to anybody but myself.
I'm a divorced mom of 4 kids, I work full time as a PCB designer and volunteer a lot of time to my children's sports teams. My kids are B24, G17, B10 and G7, they are really great kids most of the time and I am really proud of all of them. I really like to read, do puzzles ( yes, I know that is boring), and go to the movies. I would like to camp more often but I find myself suffering from a lack of time.
