Comment on Ode to Ide by Cristy

Thank you for writing this and for posting it for all to read. Idelio was truly an inspiration. He accomplished so much more than many people….yet the odds were all against him. Sara and I were talking the other day about Idelio and Pat Archer….and how you have always had a way with these “special needs” people. You have kindness in your heart…where you are able to give these people the dignity they deserve. I am thankful also to have known this about you. You were truly a good friend to Idelio and this that you have written shows it. God Bless you!

I agree 100%. Same thing has been happening to us lately.

That was great Wency! Very touching, and yes this does put things in perspective at least for me. I know this family and they truly are wonderful people. They all need our prayers especially in the next couple of days so that they may get through this very difficult time. God Bless you and your family!

Comment on Class Reunions… Yay!, (Yawn), or UGGHH… by Patty

Hey Wimpy…I mean Wency. Great blog. I cried through some but laughed at most. I know person #1 but #2 is a little blurry. You can fill me in next week. I wanted to put in my 2 cents. I just attended my husbands’ high school reunion in New Jersey (completely NOT Miami at all). What you talked about here is everywhere. The NJ reuinon was 2 nights. A pre-reunion party on Friday night and the actual reunion on Saturday night. Everyone was great. They welcomed me with open arms and then some. They treated me like I was one of thier own having graduated with them 20 years ago (yes, my husband dropped out in 11th and had to repeat the class). It really reminded me of our 20 year elementary reunion in that there was no animocity towards anyone. The clicks back then are the same but different. I never hung out with Becky, Lourdes, Michelle, etc (the popular crowd)…but just like back then, they treated me like a great friend. I am glad we are doing this again because it should take a “reunion” to get everyone together. See you on Wednesday!

You mean you didn’t get anyone who DIDN’T want bread at all? After all, the new fashion is to be allergic to gluten.

Comment on NO! by Vivian Gil

I agree completely. Good blog. As a teacher and parent, I always feel like I say no too much, but its for their own good. Now I understand what my parents went through raising us. In my teen years, I thought my parents were the strictest parents that ever lived and sometimes that made me very unpopular. I have turned out to be a pretty decent human being. More important than the subjects I teach, I teach boundaries and respect to my children and my students. That does not always make you popular but what is right is not always the popular choice.

Praying for peace for both of you…and for the acceptance of God’s will, whatever that is.

Wency, you are not the only looney toon in the shack. I think of these things as well, but I don’t write them down. But, it’s cool that you do. Keep it up.
