Stay POSITIVE!!!

Hi All!!  I know it has been a very long time since I have posted anything.  I miss Mom and Dad terribly but sometimes something happens to let me know they are still around.  There is a light switch that has a very distinctive click when it is turned on or off.  Sometimes, I will hear it and no one is around but me.  It makes me smile!  Mom loved her roses and even tho I lack having the green thumb she had, her roses bloom beautifully!  My first grandchild, Erika was born on Sept 17 of this year. She is such a joy!!  I LOVE her so very much!!  Her grandparents and aunt were here from China.  Her grandmother gave me a gorgeous silk scarf and purse on my Mother's birthday.  The purse is a light pink with a white rose lace overlay and trimmed in gold.  The colors, roses and lace is what my Mom LOVED!!  Mom LOVED silk too!  I started to cry tears of HAPPINESS because it reminded me of my Mom!! 
Have a very blessed day all!!!

LOVE ALWAYS!!! 

Please Meet Poppy!!!

On March 7, 2017 I was driving around and decided to visit our local dog shelter.  I went inside and told them I needed to adopt a puppy.  The dog I adopted didn't have to be a puppy.  They took me to the kennels and I walked past a little female and she licked my hand.  As I walked away, she whimpered and my heart melted!!  I told the worker I was pretty sure she was the puppy for me.  She put us in a room so I could see if she would come to me. We played for a few minutes and I knew in my heart that I couldn't leave her there!!  She was born on September 28, 2016.  She is part Papillon and part Jack Russell Terrier.  I was told she had some behavioral issues and they asked me if I had little kids, which I don't.  I have had dogs all my life and told them I was willing to work with her.  I brought her home and she did have growling and nipping issues.  I posted her picture on Facebook and one of my friends recognized her and told me her previous owners would pick her up by the neck and throw her!!   She didn't have behavior issues....She had trust issues!!  It has been 2 months since I adopted her and I am very happy to say that she is trusting me more and more each day and is such a joy to have around!!  I take her to our local dog park almost every day.  We have both made several new friends, both 2 legged and 4 legged.  LOL  😄
With LOVE, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!  💗
Enjoy your day!!!

March 7, 2017 Adoption Day!!

I took her picture so many times the first day I adopted her that she stuck her tongue out!  LOL

Her first toy was a sock with a knot in it.  She still plays with that sock!!

Poppy has lots of friends!!  

Poppy is learning to play frisbee!!

Some people make mountains out of mole hills and LOVE to cause trouble!!! I so can't wait til God calls me home because I am totally sick and tired of the crap!!!
I have 8 different specialists and they all call me a miracle because with all the things I have wrong internally, medically, I should NOT be alive today. God kept me alive to help with my parents but they are gone now. I truly believe some people are waiting on the edge of their seats for me to be gone from this earth. I feel their hatred towards me!!
I have my funeral plans made. I am an organ and tissue donor. I will be cremated and there will be NO visitation or memorial service. I want my ashes in a cardboard box or a plastic bag and buried by my sweet Abbey and Bailey. If I could, I would skip the funeral home all together and be placed in a hole.
I am so tired Lord!!!
PLEASE BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER!!!

Laugh And Smile Often, LOVE ALWAYS!!!

RIP Bailey

RIP Dad!!!

My dad passed away on Monday; April 18, 2016.  1 week from my mom's passing.   They were married for 55 years.   I sincerely believe he died of a broken heart.   He told me the night before he passed away that he thought she was coming back.  I told him I wish she would have but she was in a much better place...Heaven!!!  She could finally breathe and walk!!!  My mom had polio when she was 8 months old.   Oh, how I deeply miss them both!!!
PLEASE remember to tell those you love you love them and to forgive those who have hurt you!!!

Laugh And Smile Often, LOVE ALWAYS!!!

RIP Mom!!!

My beloved mom passed away Monday, April 11, 2016.  Oh, how my heart aches to see her again!!!  I know she accepted Jesus into her heart and one day I will see her again.  She is in no more pain and is able to walk.  She is with her father, mother, and brother.
My dad had a stroke early Saturday morning.  I am very thankful that he recognizes everyone and knows where he is.  It is affecting his left side.
PLEASE everyone....Tell those you love them and forgive those who have hurt you.  You NEVER know what tomorrow brings!!!

Laugh And Smile Often, LOVE ALWAYS!!!

HOSPICE

Both of my parents are in HOSPICE now.  My dad has Hodgkin's Lymphoma and the PET scan showed he has cancer in his bones.  His white blood cells are attacking his red blood cells.  He is too weak to withstand another round of chemotherapy.  His onocologist gave him 6 months to live.  My mom is in end stage emphysema and she has COPD and asthma too from smoking.  She told me she wished she would have never started and told me if I know of anyone who smokes, vapes, or does anything to harm their lungs to please tell them to stop now!!  It breaks my heart watching her struggle for each breath!!  Her pulminologist gave her 6 months to live too but I fear it will be soon.   I cry every day knowing her time is so close and hearing her struggle to breathe!!
HOSPICE, my siblings, youngest son, and niece have been a huge blessing.  I couldn't have our parents home if it wasn't for their continuous help!!
Please do not hold any grudges for you never know what tomorrow brings!!!

Laugh And Smile Often, LOVE ALWAYS!!!
