I had a dream last night that I just didn't want to wake up from. I was back in South Fla. I had just walked onto the beach. It was wonderful! I could actually feel the sand on my feet, and smell the ocean in the air. I looked up and saw the old water tower that had been painted aqua, and had the design of a beach ball on it. I then had to wake up. Oh I wanted to stay on the beach forever, it had been too long.

The Greatest Vet I Never Knew

      Is my Daddy. Yes, I was able to get to know him, not by much though. He was a wonderful Daddy to me. I was his little girl. As sick as he was, he always made sure we did things together. It didn't matter what we were doing, we had fun together. He could make games out of anything! We would go pick up my mom from work, and we would take the car keys and play checkers with the floor tiles! Daddy was a War Vet. A WWII Vet to be exact.

They are such a special generati...

My Favorite Place

My answer is always the same. I don't go to swim, I go to relax. I smell the air, listen to the waves crashing around me, and feel the sand beneath my toes. It's my happy place. No matter what is going on I'm my life, or whatever stressors are going on they vanish. A major benefit to living in Florida for the majority of my childhood was the frequent visits there. Her in Ga, it takes about 2 hours to go to a REAL beach. Granted, it takes longer, but when you get there, and feel your body begin to relax, you realize it's worth it.

I Thought About You With Love Today. I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new I thought about you yesterday and days before that too, I think of you in silence I often speak your name All I have are memories and your picture in a frame Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part God has you in His keeping I have you in my heart. Today I took the kids to the library, the one by where you used to live. I remembered all the times I went there "Just because". I remembered how much you and Abbie adored eachother, and I know you would have fallen in love with Joshua also. I think about you, sometimes more than others. I miss you Mom. I love you. There are days where I would do anything to go back to your apt and just spend time with you, joke around..whatever. But, you can't go home again.
