I'm getting melancholy

Joe expressed it well after we saw Charlie for the first time. When we were alone again, he said, "It just ain't right." I knew what he was going to say next. "Our grandbaby shouldn't be 15 hours away."

Tomorrow morning we'll drive away, and it just ain't right. I'm starting to feel the same emotions I felt when Madeline died. I know that's not logical because Charlie is well and healthy, but in my heart it feels like I'm about to experience another LOSS.

But God is sovereign, and he knew how painful this would be, and maybe that's one reason Ginger got pregnant when she did. After all, she and Todd had planned to go to Italy this summer, not have a baby! But we NEED a baby in Arkansas this summer!

It has been wonderful meeting Charlie, but now I guess it's time to say, "He gives and takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord."

Dang, aren't I being the Drama Queen!?

Somebody bring that crazy woman some chocolate!!
