My Cold Shadow Dewey

It was a cold day in July, yes July, no one would ever thought during the hot summer month is would be cold but it was. I will never forget the day momma built a fire in the old wood stove. I was only ten years old and we had heat in our old house, momma had a new baby which made me a new baby brother. He was so small at the age of four. It is a sad story but I remember it well, the month was July although it was not cold outside but inside our old drafty house it was like an ice berg. Momma would cry alot and I never knew why. She would sit in her old rocking chair and rock the new baby his name was Dewey and mine was SueEllen. There were only myself and Dewy and of course my daddy who worked everyday in the coal mines. Daddy would come home everyday all covered with black soot and his face was black and he looked so tired. Momma would cook him supper but not without holding Dewey in her arms. I always wondered why she would hold Dewey when she cooked or tried to clean he was attached to her, I even thought maybe he was part of her, you know what I mean. It's hard to explain. One day I got early because it was freezing inside the house. I walked over to momma to check on her and Dewey, and I knew something was wrong. Dewey was gone and no longer in mommas arms. Where is Dewey I asked my momma. She smiled and said he had to leave in the middle of the night. Momma patted me on the head and told me not to worry about anything. Dewey is gone to a better place, but one day he will be back, he was sick and frail and cold all the time. I still was cofused about Dewey. ****** Ten years had passed by and I was now twenty years old and there was not a day that went by that I never thought about Dewey, although he would had only been fourteen now. All those years were so distant and very confusing it seemed like a blur that passed me by. I had met a guy and moved on in my life, my mom was never the same after Dewey passed away and my dad died from all that horrible black soot. Mom was now in a nursing home after dad died, she was pretty much non-responsive to anyone. However there was one day I visited her and it was on her birthday to give her some roses, she loved flowers. It was another day I would never forget and the strangest of all it was in July, but it was not cold it was a normal hot day. Momma was sitting in her rocking chair in her room near the window. I walked in only to find her talking to herself or was she? It was then I seen something standing in front of her, the figure was a shadow but not so transparant to the eyes. It actually looked like a young man or was it? Momma called it's name Dewey. I walked on inside her room and momma looked up at me, when she did the shawdow disappeared. Momma who was you talking to, I asked in a curious voice. Momma looked up at me with tears in her eyes. It was Dewey your brother, he said he would be back again to check on me. I know all the secerts in his life and I have to keep them safe. I was in shock hearing my momma talk about such things about Dewey. Momma started crying again as she looked up at me. Momma please don't cry it is all okay. The nurse entered the room and gave momma her meds and she soon drifted off to sleep. Momma was in the hospital and I knew it would not be long till she would be gone from me. She had became worse over time and she kept telling me about Dewey who would vist her often. The old house was left to me it was a run down shack which needed to be torn down but that would all come later I thought.
 I just stood there looking around feeling strange, the hospital employees were all odd as to no one talking much to one another. I started to notice things that made me think why momma chose this place. Then it occured to me, this was the place Dewey was born, I shook my head and thought to myself, I have to stop these crazy thoughts. I leaned over and hugged my momma and told I loved her and I would be back. ******** I walked out but I was not alone, I felt the presense of someone walking behind me. I looked over my shoulder and I seen the most gastly and freaky huge....

"The Locket"

Hello again, yes today is Sunday November 11, 2012 a very gloomy day. I have been working on a paper and put my writing off for a while. I have a friend who I will send out a gift after Thanksgiving and hope she will receive it before Christmas. Have you ever felt like you just need someone to talk to, well today is one of those days. I have been busy taking care of people all my life and I hope one day to do save some life for me. I have always done my best to help others and work and keep the faith and love for all mankind. One day there was an old woman her name was SallyBelle. She was near the age of 80 but she still had a good mind. I really enjoyed listening to her and hang on every word about all the things she done when she was young. She is a wonderful story teller. I would go there everyday to listen to her talk and tell things about how her life and how it had changed over many years. I was only ten years old but it was a big part of my life to visit her. I will never forget one cold day in March I walked over to Sally's house to vist, it was than I noticed a black hearst sitting in the driveway. There was snow on the ground it was cold and near noon day. Sally lived in a huge house and it was filled with so much beauitful furniture. Sally always wore a necklace around her neck. She was a petite woman she was frail and she lived with alone except for her two newphews who were never home. The story is complicated about Sally but I figured it is worth writing about. When I finally arrived at her doorsteps they were bringing her cold body out to load up in the hearst. I was upset and I kept asking the two men in black what happened to her. They seemed to ignore me. They hurried and left as soon as they shut the door. I stood there with tears streaming down my face. I looked around to see if there were anyone who could tell me what happened to her. I ran up to the door and knocked and when I did the door opened. I stepped inside and there stood both newphews with a grin on their faces. I managed to ask them what happened to Sally, they both answered at onnce. She had a heart attack, at her age she was bound to go anytime. I looked at both of them and clinched my fist. I started to turn and walk away when one of them asked me a question about her necklace she wore around her neck. I shook my head and kept walking, they wanted to know if I had it. I pertened I did'nt know what they were talking about. Little did they know Sally had give it to me just a few days ago. She told me to tell no-one and she made sure to tell me to never tell her newphews. I often wondered why? It was a pretty necklace and it opened up, it was a gold locket, I had never tried to open it, I figured when I got home I would see what was inside. I thouht no doubt it was a nice picture of her when she was young. I started to walk in a faster pace and then I started running till I finally made it home, I hurried to my bedroom to get the necklace. I sit down on my bed so I could open up the necklace to see the picture inside. I slipped the hook open and it popped open and what was inside was a great surprise. It was no picture and it was nothing I had ever seen before in my entire ten years. Wow it beamed when I opened it and then something else happened. There was a small light shinning inside it. I hurried and turned off my bedroom light, and what I seen next was simply amazing. I felt the strength of this small locket pull me almost inside of it. I became frightened and closed it back up. I thought why would Sally give me something that would scare me or hurt me. I knew better than that. It was more precious to me then anything in the world. I remember the letter she gave me when she gave me the locket, she told me never to read the note till the day she left this world. I promised her but now she is gone and it was time for me to read it. Cont- next Sunday-November 18, 2012. few grammar errors, will fix later.

Fall Back Time!

Hello everyone who is reading this blog or post. Wonder who came up with the word blogging. I just blog or talk about what ever pops in my head to write. Today is another rainy day. We had to turn back our clocks so we call it fall back. I don't like the change much but how we change it, I really wish they would leave time alone. Why mess with the time, why do we mess with alot of things. Have you ever wondered it is not good to mess with things that were right to begin with. Today is November,3 2012 getting close to Thanksgiving day and then it will be Christmas. I love all Holidays and I love Christmas because of the warm feeling I get inside. Have you ever thought about Christmas and how people change more than any time of the year. Since I was a child Christmas is one holiday that always made me think about why people have a bit more compassion then any other time of year. Well it is something to think about unless you believe differently. If you are reading this than you are reading more bits and pieces about me. I'm not perfect and sometimes my thoughts can jump around. Maybe you think my blogs are silly like me. However I'm just a human just like you living in a world full of troubles and heartaches and so much trouble. I am caring person who watches the news and I have a big old cry baby heart, if I see or hear news that is hurtful about others it does bother me. I'm glad I can share some thoughts about life. We all have a life and will live life till we die.

Plain Truth for Halloween.

It is getting closer to Halloween, a eerie time of month when all the kids dress up and go from door to door to gather up treats for thier self and of course mom and dad dip into it. It is fun for the kids. I loved Halloween when I was a kid but today we have to be careful with our children. We have to check their candy to make sure it does not contain harmful things. It is ashame our children have to be raised with fear to check out thier candy. However it has happened and yes there are meanies out there with cruel hearts who want to harm little children. It makes me sick to my stomach just to know some people are trying to take away fun times for our kids. Makes me sad to think about it. I want to wish all the children a wonderful Halloween. I write the plain truth, things do happen and those things make us mad. When it comes to our kids who we love dearly. To me children are gifts as we all are. We were all once kids growing up, but now since I am older it makes me wonder and think WHY have people become so cruel to our kids? I have decided to start writing my blogs about the plain truth, things we have to face, things that could happen to any child. I don't want to take all the fun out of Halloween, so have fun my little precious gobblins and ghost and what ever you dress up to be....have fun from me to you.

Think, thoughts, life?

Who are we? Why are we here? Do we think about growing older when we are young? I am a human, a female who was born in kentucky. We are here for many reasons and those reasons are up to us. We are born from a man and woman who either love eachother or maybe a one night stand, either way if you are reading this that means you are alive and a human. I have always thought about growing older, I see others around me who were once young and healthy and out going, but now they are older. Life is amazing and we can make it so amazing if we are rich or poor, it all boils down to being happy. No one can be happy everyday but staying around positive people does help. This is just a quick comment and something I hope you will think about. Why not give it a thought, it never helps to think about things that concerns all of us. Life is life until we die.
