SPF: “HOLY”

Now, I want to tell you what I was going to do;

I was going to take all the cameras in this house and take a picture of them, then I realized I already did that back in 2004. This was about the time I was begging for a new camera.

Top Left is my first digital. Then the one right next to it was my second. The bohemith next to it is Shea’s camera and the one on the lower center is Shaun’s.

Since then, I have gotten THESE:

Kodak DX7630 (gave it to my mom, though)

Kodak Z740

Nikon D70

Nikon D70s

Alyx has gotten a Kodak, Marina has gotten a Kodak, Dan gave Kara his old Olympus. Kara and I have Polaroid cameras.

When I tell people we have that many, I hear, “Holy…” or “Why?” Because it’s a sick, sick, addiction. I need help. I know. (I’m a fan of Kodak. You can throw them across a room and they keep on working….except when they don’t.)

BUT, that isn’t my HOLY though.

My friend called me yesterday and in her rational, calm voice she said, “Ashley (her step daughter) was in an accident.” and today she sent me a picture of the car. The first words out of my mouth was, “HOLY SHIT!”

Ruka became a full time step parent about 5 years ago. I found out with a phone call where my friend in her rational and calm voice said, “Ashley’s mom died.” It was from a car accident.

We’ve been through a lot; Our teenage years, her uncle’s death, her sister’s mental health, our problems, becoming a step parent and now this.
THIS, THIS has changed her. She called Ashley ‘her daughter’. Ashley is now hers. I feel REALLY sorry for Ashley because she’s not going to tippy toe around anyone about anything anymore. Ruka has just taken the parental reins and I feel sorry for ANYONE who tells her how to raise her from this moment on. *shaking head* Back away people, Ruka isn’t ‘step’ anything—-anymore!

But, just to make sure you all don’t think I’m TOO serious all the time, here is my HOLY; (Yes, Joel…i’m a pagan and i’m going to hell…you can stop praying for my soul)

Thank you Shell for the Rosary!!

Okay, DID YOU PLAY?
