Well it’s been a very fun and exciting week for many throughout the county as Go Texan weekend has come to an end. Thanks to all who had a hand in putting this on and a special thanks to all the teams who worked and had fun while participating in the cook offs. There are so many good cooks out there! Also, a special thanks to those who volunteer to judge the events. It’s good to see everyone working together. I’m amazed to see how much this group of people do to further education for the youth of Grimes County. On behalf of the community for all of you that had a part in this no matter how small it might have been we thank you.
Since I have been so busy this week, I am finding myself up late writing this column. Well as I sat here about to finish up and looked at the time and date. I realized it’s the wee hours of my mother’s birthday! Momma has been gone since 1996, and my daddy since 1978, and it still seems like yesterday. I know I was blessed to have a good mother and father and I guess that’s why it still hurts so much, even after all these years. Some people say time will heal but for me with Momma and Daddy time just stands still. I guess what I am trying to say is if you still have your mother and daddy spend time with them, call them, love them, hug them, just be with them, because when they are gone missing them never ever goes away. Happy Heavenly birthday Momma!
