MacGyver ~ The Escape Room Game @Pressmantoy

MacGyver ~ The Escape Room Game in a box! This game brings the fun and excitement of an escape room straight to the comfort of a player’s home.  MacGyver’s team must use the interactive website to guide them through the missions, while keeping in contact with their operative at the Phoenix Foundation to track their progress.

Honestly, the hardest part was trying to explain to my granddaughter how fabulous MacGyver was and how he was able to escape and rescue with mere everyday items like rubber bands, paper clips and a little imagination and lots of determination.

Family

Goodbye, Brother, Uncle, Great Uncle Jimmy…

Posted on

It’s when you lose someone that you realize how important that someone is. How that  person, whom  you have lost, can leave a hole in your heart.   And my brother-in-law Jimmy Brennan did just that.  He passed over without any notice, and now he created this large hole in our family that can never be refilled.  Just like a missing piece of a puzzle the picture will never be complete.

The day Jimmy past away we all realized that God gave us a very special person, who was the perfect fit for our family.  Jimmy had a personality that was different, he was introverted, never made noise, always gave a smile, always kind, always giving.

Now we wonder. Why didn’t we pay more attention to him?  Why, didn’t we have him over more often?  Why, were we not a better – sister-in-law, niece, nephew, brother? Why?  Why? Why?  

Jimmy, on the right,  was here today, then he was gone tomorrow.  Gone, within a blink.  Gone, no longer to be seen or spoken to in our world.  How sad!  How lost will the family be?  He has moved out of human reach, and moved to a better world.   Hopefully, with the Almighty.

Jimmy, you were a good Uncle, Great Uncle, brother, and Son.  Jimmy you are already missed.  You lived a quiet life, and you died a quiet death.  They say Rest In Peace, I say Rest in the Valley of God’s presence.  Where peace is not an impossible fact but a heavenly truth.

Goodbye, Jimmy! Till we meet again by the grace of God, at the entrance of the gates of heaven.
