Message from Heaven

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Every Morning.........

I find the strength to make it another day without you .
I think of you often and remember all the things we use to do and the fun we had.
Now those days are gone and all I can do is cling to the memories of a time long since past.
I cherish those times and hold them close to my heart.
Our love knows no boundaries as my love for you continues to grow more and more.

It is just too ironic

Today is Friday.
I have volunteered or railroaded my family into being the person to take my grandma to her hair appointment, grocery store and lunch today. She has been going on Friday at 10:00 am for the past 20 plus years. It is the same stylist, the same hair cut, the same color and she still still pays ten bucks for the service. ( no tip)
It is a work day for me and I have been up for hours trying to get in as much work as possible before I leave. Not thinking, I placed my 9:00 call on my old home land line so I could use the hand free feature as I put on makeup and get dressed. The call goes too long and I am not mobile but stuck at home on the call.
Leaving late, I plan to make up time but going a little faster than normal to her house. I head out on 2200 West and right in front of me is another car, going less than the speed limit. The other lane is full and I cannot pass.
Just a bit frustrated, I notice the car contains 2 older women.
My immediate thought:
Oh good grief, 2 grandmas on their way to their hair appointment without a care in the world and taking their time because they are chatting so much.....just shoot me now!!!!.
Then I thought-- Hey wait a minute.... in just a moment, it will be my car that holds two old grandma's on their way to their hair appointment and we will not have a care in the world except to get our Caramel espresso freeze and to chat.
When did I get to be one of those grandma's in the car?????
And who will I tick off as I pay more attention to my grandma than the road.

Needless to say.
I arrived late to grandma's house
we arrived ( fashionably ) late to the hair appointment
we had not a care in the world
and I told grandma my story and we both laughed
Yes, ironically I am now the old grandma in the car in front of you driving slow on my way to my hair appointment.

Shoot me now!

I choose beautiful.

Happy 4 year old Birthday Kinley

All Kinley asked me for was fake eyelashes
Don't they look great on her!!!!

if only

AUNT HEATHER!!!

Aunt Heather was sick on Sunday and they went home in a rush and she left her glamour magazine. Last night when Kyler was here, he was looking through the magazine and had a bad case of the giggles. He had to keep showing his dad and me "yet another " picture of the girls! I told him his uncle Matt use to giggle when you said the word "boobies" and he just rolled on the ground laughing. Guess now Kyler is eight we need to watch what is just laying around the house.
