Watch “Biffin and Turner” on YouTube

I can relate to these two brothers. My heart resonates with them. I feel the same about my brother Stephen. I am so Blessed and Thankful to have a brother like Stephen. Yes we wrestled as kids!

Like Griffin and Turner we laughed as children and we are still laughing as middle-aged adults. Stephen still loves to be near me and will come downstairs because he knows I’m camped out on the sofa while he has the bedroom. During times of stress Stephen will put his head on my shoulder. Ours is a bond that will last forever and I expect beyond this world and into the next. I see that same bond reflected with Griffin and Turner.

The van from Stephen’s Group Home Residence picked him up around 5:35. Sadness for me because the separation is so difficult to bear. Time is precious and as you get older you know that your time on this earth is getting shorter. So aging brings new priorities.

My hope and prayer is that Griffin and Turner will have many happy years together.

Griffin aka Biffin and Turner,

Love from DeBorah and Stephen

Stephen attended both my High School and College Graduations. It meant everything to me for him to be there and share in my special moments.

Because of You Mommy I am. You were the Living Biblical example of the Proverbs 31 Virtuous Woman for truly your price is far above rubies. And now you wear your Heavenly Crown.

Share Your World – May 8, 2017

May 8, 2017 Cee Neuner

When you’re alone at home, do you wear shoes, socks, slippers, or go barefoot?

Socks and Slippers. I never go barefoot.

What was your favorite food when you were a child?

Chocolate. Seriously, My Mom’s pot roast and mashed potatoes. Comfort food.

Are you a listener or talker?

I used to be more of a talker but I have been trying to train myself to be more of a listener.

Favorite thing to (pick one): Photograph? Write? Or Cook?

Photograph.

What is the easiest way for your to learn something new? By reading, by seeing and doing, in a classroom?

Hmmm…. This question was on last week’s Share your World so I will give the same answer as I gave last week.

Doing. I am a

Kinesthetic Learner

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinesthetic_learning

I can read about something or have someone explain the process to me but unless I perform the task hands on it won’t stick. As for the Classroom which seems eons ago I would say I did well in every subject except Math. I have a math block. No amount of doing or explaining ever helped me. College was a different story. I excelled in College. I made the Deans List in 1999 and Graduated with a 3.6 GPA in May 2002.

Optional Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

Grateful that I was able to Celebrate my brother Stephen’s 56th Birthday. We had fun going to the movies to see The Fate of the Furious and visiting the American Museum of Natural History as well as the New York Historical Society.
