Today was Kristins last day of work at Harley Davidson Co. She has been there almost eleven Years. I am so happy that she does not have to get up at 5:00 in the morning and go work in a place that is 100 degrees. I know that she will miss a lot of the people but she won't miss the work. I have always felt she was too smart for that type of work. It numbs your brain. Kristin and her mother are two of the hardest workers that I have ever worked with. Kristin is definitely her mothers daughter. For some reason everyday at about 3:00 I start thinking about Jed. I mean I think about him all the time but for some reason at 3:00 he really starts weighing on my mind. I think about how for the last three years, how every night at around midnight ,Jed would either knock of the wall or come in the bedroom and ask his mother if she would come in his room while he went to sleep. Always, without hesitation,she would get up and go to his room and sit and read or just sleep next to Jed while he went to sleep. Almost every night I would get up and see her in the room with Jed. She would usually look at me and wave a little wave or put her finger up to her lips as to say " quite he's asleep or trying to sleep. It was always so touching to me to see her in there. Usually before she would go in the room she would look at me and say " sorry I have to go he wants me". I always would tell her she never had to tell me she was sorry. I expected nothing less from her. Sometimes I would ask if he wanted me to come in the room while he slept. He always said no. It was always his mother. I am so happy that she got to do that every night with Jed. I miss Jed so much. I know that he is in a better place and the he is around us. Kristin is such a good mother. I pray everyday that she keeps going forward and finds something to help her have some peace. I love her more than she knows.
