You Were Her Cowboy

-
 
 
Kind and gentle,
Patiently teaching
little sister.
You were her cowboy.
 
Loving and strong,
Manly and tough,
And sometimes a little rough.
You were her cowboy.
 
Always a smile,
Always rejoicing,
Laughing and joking.
You were her cowboy.
 
Strumming the guitar,
Humming, whistling, singing,
Writing a melody.
You were her cowboy.
 
Working hard,
Persevering,
Never let life put you down.
You were her cowboy.
 
Running the race,
Always brave,
Embracing life.
You were her cowboy.
 
Young and handsome,
Her older brother,
Her hero,
Her cowboy.
 
 
 
Written in loving memory of Micah who died 9 years ago today. Although Micah was never really a cowboy, he often wore a cowboy hat and sometimes dressed like one. His characteristics also remind me of that of a cowboy's. Lastly, cowboys are one of my biggest heroes in life and Micah is one of my biggest heroes, so I thought that it would be fitting to call him my cowboy.

    You are such an example to me Hannah of how to face hard times! Thank you for talking about Micah even though it is hard sometimes. I love you and miss you!
    Love,

    Love your poem. It reminds me of one time when Micah and I were at Duke walking past a young boy in the waiting room. He looked up at Micah wide eyed and in awe and said to his mom, " Is that a real cowboy?!!!" It was so cute because he said it really loud. Micah just smiled real big at him, which made him even more excited. So see, you were not the only one who though he was a cowboy!

      I some how totally forgot to respond to you, Maggie! So sorry! I actually don't know how to get the verse of the day. Haha! Gabriel did it for me when I set up my blog. :) but I think there may be some gadget like it that you could add to the side bar. Sorry that is not very helpful ;)

Winnie the Pooh

I have a confession. Ok, not really a confession because just about everyone who actually knows me knows it and I am not ashamed of it, but.... I have an obsession, of sorts, with Winnie the Pooh! Yes, go ahead and laugh, but seriously, I kind of like him a lot (ok, not as much as Cowboys, but that is a different story). So my car has a little Winnie the Pooh hanging on the mirror and he basically is my friend that accompanies me on all my road trips and road adventures of getting lost (happens a lot). So, whether you like it or not this post is Winnie the Pooh quotes. I probably just scared away half my readers, but you know if you can't put up with my Winnie the Pooh obsession for just one day than that is really just too bad. Be thankful I did not decide to do a Seven Brides for Seven Brothers post instead. I would understand if you left me after that. That would be the testing of whether we are true friends or not, but this time I am just sticking with Winnie the Po...

Hidden Treasures From the Thrift Stores

I know it can be kind of discouraging for Christians girls, who really desire to dress modestly, to go shopping. Often times it is very hard to find something that is modest. Yet if you look hard enough, you can find the hidden treasures. One of my favorite places to buy clothes is at the thrift stores. That way I can get a good deal and there is also usually more of a variety. Therefore, today my mom, sister, and I went shopping and we're blessed to find two very nice (at least in my opinion), but also modest dresses. This is my dress. I am wearing a white t-shirt with it, because it only has straps. This is Priscilla's  dress. So my encouragement to ya'll girls out there trying to dress modestly: DON'T GIVE UP! There is modest clothing out there, it just might take a bit of searching. Also, don't forget to check out the thrift stores. That is where I find almost all of my clothes. People are all the time getting rid of their clothes that are in really...
