The last few weeks my Dadd, Ernie and my cousins husband Tony have been working their asses off on the outside of our house. Re-doing siding, skirting, replace windows, replace trim etc. We are hoping to have it painted before summer. It is looking so good. I am so incredibly thankful. We already had most windows done but there was one we didn't do, then they did the kitchen and one of the bathrooms. I also got a walk in shower. No more worrying about falling trying to get my leg over the side of the tub. I am so happy ♥

 Kimm, Momm and Dadd, why the double letter? When I was in high school there were a lot of Kim/kimberlys. My name is Kimberlee, that is how it is spelled on my birth certificate. I am related to Robert E Lee and also I match my cousins Desiree and Christilee. With so many Kims in high school we sat down and decided to use different spellings. Kim, Kimm, Kym etc. I went with double m's to match my double e's.

Fast forward to when I was dating my ex-husband Joe. We had beepers and his mom would text 303 which spells mom on its side. So we had my momm use 3033 so we knew it was her. And that made my dad... Dadd ♥

 We lost her April 8th, 2024. We thought she had heartburn, she went to the hospital and after a short stay where she never woke up, she is gone. I am heartbroken and I know my dadd is too. We will be ok though. 

Every day there are things I want to tell her and then I remember that she is gone.

To make it even harder we lost Tammy's mom Judy a few weeks before. Sometimes it feels so overwhelming and like I am drowning. But I am glad they aren't in pain or suffering. 

I am grateful for every minute I got with them, especially the extra time that we got with my momm after her stroke. We were so close to losing her then I like to think of it as extra time ♥
