Mazie Monday: The Messenger Visits Again

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Mazie Grace speakin'. Today is Mazie Monday. I was so excited 'bout gittin' to write my Mazie Monday post that I almost couldn't make sleeps last night...I've got somethin' big to tell our friends on the innernets!

I know everybody knows that we had to say goodbye to our sweet Jimmy last week...he went to heaven very real unexpectedly. Mommy had no idea he was even sick...he was playin' and eatin' real good...and gived no indication that somethin' was even wrongs. We is all terribly sads but mommy is particularly sads. She feels so guilty...like she shoulda picked up that somethink was wrongs. She cried almost the whole dang weekends even though we was all on our bestest behaviours and gived her lotsa headbonks.

She was out in the back yard rakin' leafs and mowin' on Sunday. Somethin' 'caughted her eye...our backyard looks pretty much like crap 'cause mommy just did not have times to work on it this summer since she had to go to West Virginia to take care of her parents and her Aunt almost every weekend. The ivy has taked overs and weeds is everywheres. But she saw this...



See, back when our dear sweet Ricky Eugene Graves went to heaven (2004), lotsa mommy's friends gived her flower bulbs to plant a memory garden. Her sister gived her some real exotical bulbs called a Spider Lily. Mommy planted it when Ricky passed but then it didn't come up...until...2 years laters...it popped outs of the ground on the very day our sweet sister, Lucy Margarite Graves, went to heaven. Mommy had been so upset when Lucy died...her passin' kinda came up outta the blue, too...we knowed she had been sick but...we didn't think it would cause her to go to heaven. Mommy thought maybe them flowers bloomin' was a sign... a message from Lucy and God that everything would be okay...that she was happy and gonna watch over us. You can read all 'bout the dramatical event of how mommy found the spider lily bloomin' the first time here.

So...back to yesterday...mommy was workin' and cryin' in the backyard...she looked up and saw in all the dead weeds and the nasty ivy, bright green spikey leafs...she cleared away all of the cruddy stuff and there she saw the spider lillies poppin' up from the grounds. Mommy thought them bulbs had done gone and dried up or somethin' 'cause they haven't popped up outs of the ground one time since Lucy passed away...that was all the way back in 2007...



Now some people will say it was just a coincidence...but don't you think it's kinda odd that them bulbs didn't bloom for 2 years when we first planted them and then popped up when we was all so shocked and hurt 'bout our Lucy passin'...and then they didn't pop up agains until we was all upsets 'bout our Jimmy passin' so surprisingly...4 years later? We is all thinkin' it's poor little Jimmy lettin' us know that he loves us and knows that we loves him. We are hopin' it's Jimmy and God lettin' us know that we'll all be together agains one day...one big gigantical family. We are grateful for them Spider Lillies...and we are grateful that God lets us all have this time together...as a big furry family.

So that's my big news. We are still sads but it did make us feel a little better!

I guess that is it for today's edition of Mazie Monday! Please remember that on Mazie Monday your beans have to stop what they is doin' whenever you walks into a room and start hummin' "Hail to the Chief".

Very truly yours,
