#SaharasMusings – Thunder Awakens dedicated to Tamara Foley & Jason Mathews

Several months ago, a storm rolled through Omaha and woke me up.  As I watched the lightening flicker through my window, I decided to record it.  It came out pretty cool and then inspiration struck and I wanted to transform the footage into a video with music and pictures/short vids.  And me being me, it had to have a dark fantasy theme.  LOL. 

And then, on Labor Day, my brother’s daughter, Tamara Foley, passed away.  Her health had been declining for a few years but the progression ramped up with other complications which resulted in her death.  Tammi was born with a broken mind and body and she had many struggles through her life.  But she always had a smile on her face and she loved to eat and never gained a pound.  Used to make us Fat Foley Girls jealous. 

Then, yesterday, my brother’s step-son, Jason, passed away unexpectedly which was another devastating blow to him and his wife.  Jason’s life had been tragic in that he’d been in and out of trouble and was just getting his life straightened around when he had a horrific motorcycle accident and suffered massive brain damage.  For the past several years he was in a nursing home on life support.  Again, a broken body but unfortunately for him, he was aware of his circumstances.   

Their sister Katie said this about what she hopes happened: She (Tammi) probably told him it was cooler on that side and he decided to ditch this place. 

I hope Katie’s right and both of them will find the love and happiness they deserve once they awaken from their journey to the other side.
