With the multitude of funerals I've been attending this year  already (I'm beginning to think I have this big black cloud over me or soon I will be that person everyone worries about) I've found this has a whole new meaning for me.  How about you?

But you know I'm about ready for some really GOOD news/people to be in my life.  I really think I NEED some of this to counter some of those bad things that have been happening - God please. 

I want to be the person You wanted me to be .... but I need some things that aren't hurting or leaving me - helping and loving would be nice as a change of pace (you know).

But as always, Your will be done.

Happy Birthday Baby!

I can't believe it ...... my BABY is 22 years old today!

See she still looks like my baby ...... just a little grown up.

Where has the time gone?  She's getting ready to graduate from the County College and start at Rutgers University in the Fall ........ this just can't be.  I remember very distinctly - she was just born.  I remember the tech telling me (when they made me have another ultrasound cause they couldn't find her head) ......."there, do you see it, there's the head, its resting on your bladder".  And all I could say was ...... "Duhhhh I could have told you that BEFORE you made me drink 2 gallons of water!"


Or when she was born by emergency C-Section ....... and the doctor said "It's a girl" and silly me, who expected another boy said "A WHAT?"

Happy Birthday Baby!  You have always been so very special, pretty and unique.  I hope you always are - because THAT is YOU.

Special Cake to help you celebrate.  Should it be Chocolate or Hazelnut or should we try something different this year?  I wonder if you can blow out 22 candles ..... or should we just get two "2" candles?  Or those magic candles you had for your bro's cake?

Enjoy your special day!
With hopefully LOTS and LOTS of special things in your future.

Just wait till you see what we found for you this year ..........

Learn to like or Learn to Love?

Think about it.  How many people have you found that really know why you cry?  THOSE are the ones you want to stay forever!

I saw this on the facebook page of a friend and just knew I wanted to save this one.  I really do have some awesome and extremely intelligent friends............

What do you think?
