Blessed With More Angels . . . Made It Through

The picture above is my new found angel, Amber from Al Meyer Ford. Amber is in a Non-traditional occupation (for women) as a Mechanic.

Early yesterday, the day of step-son Mark's funeral, she called that the Explorer was ready. That pretty much ran concurrent with the Overhead Garage Door people calling that they were on their way.

The only thing I actually had to do was fill the tank of the Ford Fusion rental car. By the way, that was a peppy car that was easy on the gas. Filled it up for under 14 dollars for the week. And, it has a super feature that makes it easy to fill the tank.

But, automotive-wise, the Ford Explorer is my favorite and after completing payment details, Amber brought it back to us. The picture above is Amber and me at the dining room table where we finalized all the details.

Then, Hubby and I were able to sit down to breakfast and I was off to another angel, my friend, Paula, at Bliss Hair Salon.

Paula came out, delighted to see the Explorer pull in and I actually napped while she did my hair. I should also tell you that Paula came in an hour earlier than my usual appointment.

Back home, I changed into my navy pantsuit which my neighbor, Ruby told me long ago is protocol for East Texas funerals.

I napped for eight minutes till the next ring of the doorbell which was our very special angel who doesn't want to be seen in print.

He drove us to Carroway Funeral Home so we were there nice and early.

Many of Mark's friends from old times came but also some people Mark had helped with their problems over the years were there. We were able to talk to each of them.

A lot of people made some beautiful food for after the service and people were able to mingle a while longer.

Once we were back, we were pretty much "finished".

Additionally, you did not hear but you sort of suspected that the garage door opener broke when I dropped it getting out of the Fusion earlier in the week.

Nor, have you heard that another Angel drove us to Livingston this week for Hubby's Retina check-up. He got a good one and we'll go back in about 2 weeks. His eye is healing while his heart is breaking . . .

On the way back, we stopped in at the Polk Pick It Up to hug Angel Dora and introduce her to Angel Sarah.

Our doorbell is still ringing. Yesterday, it was a Florida plant and today Buddy's best friend, David.

We have received cards and calls and hugs . . . there are more Angels out there than you ever knew.
