HaPpY BiRtHdAy BRETT

The days are going by so quickly, the weeks are passing even faster, turning our time apart into months and it will be almost a year til I see you again.
Thinking this brings tears to my eyes, making me wonder if NY is where I should be.

Your growing up so fast sweet nephew! What an incredible little man you are......

I can't begin to tell you how much I love you and how proud I am to be your aunt! Your mommy is always with you cheering your every move!

Happy Birthday on your day and EVERYDAY after!

You deserve so much young Brett and I will always be here for you no matter what!

Cardinal Love for Lisa too.....


I got this e-mail from our lil sis Lisa today:

"Oh, yesterday evening I was at the park with the children and i saw some athletes training...running, sprinting, dragging tires behind them. There was a coach close by so I asked what they were training for. She said "They are triathletes". I thought of Mary immediately and then a red cardinal landed on the ground about 10 feet from me and was looking at them with me :)"

Divine Cardinal Love - thank you Dad!

Today ~ the Day after Fathers Day ~ I was thinking how lucky I was to have had my dad as long as I did. He was such an incredible man full of peace and love! No judgments, only encouragement to be the best we could be and unconditional LOVE!
I was thinking about this day 9 years ago ~ (the day after Fathers day). I had finally had "ENOUGH"! I asked Chad to help me get help. I don't know what it was that made me finally give in. I will admit - I could be very stubborn in my day. I believe there was some divine intervening. I didn't realize this at the time until my cry for help happened again 3 months later in September- (the day after my dad's death day). My mind became clearer and as I thought about those dates, I realized my dad in Heaven had something to do with my cries for Help!

As I was walking Honey, I was thinking about all of this and mentally speaking to my dad, thanking him for still being with me, guiding me, loving me and never leaving my side! All of a sudden out of the sky a beautiful red cardinal flew to the fence straight ahead. He was only 30 feet away and was looking straight at me. Then he decided to get a little closer and flew to the ground only 10 feet away. I just stood there in amazement, wondering if this was for real. Just as I was thinking and talking to my dad ~ my cardinal appears. All of a sudden, there was chirping all around me. I felt like Angels were up in the trees as the little red bird was on the ground staring up at me.

I was touched and comforted by divine love!

The holes in my heart are mending with each touch I receive!

Purple Roses for you Dad



Purple roses grow in heaven,
Lord pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my daddy's arms
and tell him they're from me.
Tell him that I love him
and always miss his smile.
When he turns, place a kiss upon
his cheek & hold him for awhile,
because remembering him is easy,
I do it every day.
But there's an ache in my heart
that will never go away...



HAPPY FATHERS DAY DADDY
I LOVE YOU FOREVER

My sisters

Mary~Jeni~Lisa
Just remembering our wonderful days together as sisters and friends.
I miss those days when my sisters would come visit me in Houston......
I treasure those days and dream of them when I'm feeling down.
It amazes me how life goes on even when someone you loved so much is gone.
I can't stand it that your gone sweet Mary and miss you everyday.

Thank God I have your kids and pictures and memories.....

You may be gone from us physically, but you will never be forgotten.
I know you are still with us. I'm lucky to see your signs.....
I share them with everyone you love and I pray it helps.
I was blessed with your life and now I'm blessed with your Spirit!
