Jason is Gone...

 If tears can build a stairway and memories can a lane, why can't I march up to heaven and bring you back here...

It seems unreal... However the funeral did make it a bit more real.  Maybe it's because I don't want to face it.. Maybe its because it hurts to much to know he will not be back here.  I know Jason would not come back if he could.  But I bet him and Hunter are thinking of a way they can sneak out of heaven and come see everyone for one last time..  LOL... Oh what sweetness that boy brought to me.... It just don't seem fair... I know Christians should not say that, but it is not fair.  He was a good person.. He made people happy.. 
 I just wonder what God is teaching me here.  Oh could it be.. Life is short.. Like I didn't already know that.. Don't take people for granted.. Don't think they will be here forever..  Spend time with freinds...Spend time with family.. Yeah, I know he was taken for a reason..  I know God needed him...  I know he didn't die for nothing.  I know there is a purpose and a reason..  

You know, I was talking to a friend of mine and I said it makes me not want to love anybody, cause eventually everyone is going to die... But I know that is not what life is all about.. I'm just missing Jason, and My heart is heavy for his family...

Jason William- My Friend

http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/jasonwilliamssit/jasonwilliams






We all know you're gone


and gone is forever.

I sometimes think I could call you,

then I know its not true

and it breaks my heart in two -

two pieces that  will never mend together,

Cause it does not seem real.

Memories are painful and also wonderful.

Why God wanted you now is something no one knows,

why you took his hand and left everyone behind.

What I will always know and always show

is that you are a wonderful friend!



 
This to my friend Jason Christopher Williams... The words just keep coming to me..  I lost my dear friend to complications with his bone morrow transplant.  He had been in so much pain.. It just doesn't seem fair, because he leaves behind a young wife, 3 chilren, a mother & father and sister..
The world got cheated, for those who had never met him..  However I know that heaven gained a crazy, funny young man who loved his family and friends dearly.. 
I know he was scared and he fought until he just couldn't fight no more.  I am blessed to have been a part of his young life.. He was such a special young man who made me laugh until I cried... You never knew what he was gonna do because he would go to extremes to make people laugh..
He had a talent.. That is certain.. I think he amazed people, by the father and husband that he was.  You would have never thought he would have been great at both.. He had an amazing love for his wife..  When he first married he would hate having to go to work and leave his wife and child.  He wanted to spend all his time with his wife.
He was a deep person in thought.. He and I talked alot about his family and how much he loved them.  I can promise one thing, and that is Jason Williams will never leave my memories.  I could tell you stories for days about him and the crazy things he did..  Until the day that the Lord calls me home, I will miss that boy.... I am grateful for the memories that I have of Jason.  The Lord has welcomed him home.... So today, I know heaven has a precious addition because of Jason Christopher Williams.

Publix

To all my readers..tehe... I went to Publix last week and scored mucho groceries for $4.26.  I actually had $86.48 of groceries.  I saved $82.22 cents.  I have gotten really good at the couponing.  This is what I have learned.....

1. You can never learn enough...
2. You can get the BOGO and use two coupons and basically get both items for next to nothing.  (You have to be smart about this and really look at your coupons, make sure they can be doubled)
3. I can make money on some of the items I purchase with the manufacturers coupons and the store coupons. (Publix takes competitors- so you can really rack up at target)
4. review the stores coupons policies before you go and for the cashiers and managers that don't even know there own coupon policy it helps to have a copy of them.
5. Try to go to the same cashier who you know will not give you a hard time with your coupons.  Publix in the Hilcrest area is much friendlier than the one in Duncan..
6. Have your coupons ready along with your list.. 
7. Spend time planning what you are going to purchase and which stores have the best deals.  Research, Research, Research.
8.  When there are several items that you will make money on...  You use the overages to buy the things you want but don't have a coupon for such as your meat... Hamburger, Pork Chops, etc..
9.  Have a budget and stick to it..
10. When you can get good deals on toiletries have a stock pile.  Toilet paper, soaps, etc will not go bad.
11.  Don't worry if your coupons expires, I am hearing that they will come back around in about 6 weeks.

If you have some suggestions let me know...  Happy Couponing
