This week has been quite the build up.  Excitement to dissapointment to suffering.  My heart goes out to the Behlok residences, who lost a Husband, a Father, a Grandpa, and a friend.  Antoine Behlok, better known as ''Jiddo'' (an arabic term meaning Grandpa) or Mister B (as I called him) passed on through the gates of Heaven on June 25. I attend the Funeral on Tuesday with the Behlok's, along with close friends of the family.  Even if you didn't know the person that well, funerals have got to be the toughest thing to go through.  People try to say the classic lines, of 'he's in a better place,' or my favorite over used quote, ''time heals all.''  Listen, lets speak from the heart here people.  When I pulled up, I was in tears.  I didn't know Jiddo too well, but well enough to share laughs with and talk to at the family Birthday parties, get togethers, and just gatherings for no reason at all!  He was a sweet, kind, man and could definately give you a laugh!  I will always remeber anytime at a birthday party for one of the kiddies, it was like the papparazi and CNN News were there!  Mister B walking around with his digital camera and then Teyta(means Grandma in Arabic) or Misses B (as I call her) right behind him with the video camera!! I am blessed to be friends with such nice people.  As the scripture says in Matthew 7:20 ''Therefore by their fruits you will know them.'' Mister B definately brought some ''good fruit'' in the world; With the help of Misses B of course! They have 3 son's that are loving Husbands, Fathers and Friends.  Thank you Mister B, for the love and taking care of Misses B, the roots and the soil that you raised your son's with, and the love that you showed to your grandkids, daughter-in-laws, and friends.

Rest.In.Paradise.

As Brenna and I were sitting at the table Brenna was sitting on my lap and she is looking at my tattoo.  She says, ''Jacqueline what's that?'  'I respond, an Angel.'  'She looks at me and smiles, An angel, like Jiddo?' 'I smiled back and responded, just like Jiddo.''
