My hidden talent..,

Pictures

A camera couldn't take a picture
of the softness of your touch.
a camera couldn't reproduce,
the laugh of yours i love so much.
a picture couldn't make me feel,
the way I did in your arms.
a picture couldn't sweep me away,
the way you did with your charms.
Your picturer only makes me remember,
how much I wanted to stay.
This picture only reminds me
I love someone so far away.

Grandpa.., how i loved you so

A great Man;
It's now 2007,a new millenium,a time for new things and experiences,
but also something you deeply wished to live to see.
It's now been 25 years since you"ve left us.
You were someone we could all turn to,
for you always held your heart and hands open.
I sit and think of you night and day,
wondering and trying to understand why??
For I was 10 and it was xmas day.
You always understood us no matter what.
But as I have grown older,
I've begun to understand why you had to leave us,it was in god's time.
For in my eyes you were couragous,loving,understanding and i know happy.
You had great values that I am glad i inherited and am beginning to understand can make changes in this world.
I remember these words you would often tell me, forgiving is whatwe need not hatred.
You may be gone,but to me you're not because the memeory of you will live with me forever,
inside my heart,my mind and soul.
I miss you dearly,
Love your grandaughter

hopefully this summer

After 17 years Dad is back in my life,although sick.I wwould like to go home for a visit to see my sisters,Cher 19 and joyce 14.

Sorry for being so down..,

Okay lately i have been very down okay just too depressing to read lately.I plan on changing that i have so much to be thankful for.Bill,Samm and Jordan.As well as my family that loves me.A church family that really does care,a new years resolution for me is to open up and be how i used to be.I don't have to fear what people will think of me or say about me.I believe in my life I have come a far way from the messed up life I once had.I want to do god's work and walk the way he wants me to,i want to be a daughter that he can be proud of.With time i know that will happen.So thankyou everyone for being so patient with me through all of my up and downs,doubts and fears. love you all blessings

where do i belong???

lately it feels like i only belong at home..,alone with only my hubby and kids.i'm sorry that i can't go anywhere or do anything or feel left out,but it is how i feel.i read other people's blogs and most of the time everyone is upbeat or getting together to do things..,just feeling forgotten from the only home i know here.(church)and yes my heart is breaking in two.

Missing home..,

I have come to realize that in times of confusion and frustration I miss home more than ever.I don't blog for the whole world to read but to keep my family.., yes all the way to Australia informed about our life. As well as the people in our church and whoI care about. If someone comments they do if not oh well. I t won't stop me from blogging or reading the blogs i read or comment on as I care deeply for each person and their families. My family has just started to get close again over the last two years.Life is never easy and I don't expect it to be.I work hard when I can(injury),spend time with my family and friends for they are my pride and joy.I have a hard time relating to people.., who have come from a family whose parents are still together,not remarried(parents),being a teen mom,having siblings that are 21 years apart from you and one terminally ill.I know that every family has a story and has trials and tribulations.Some we never understand or will ever understand.I know that I am a very closed off person and I have walls but really who doesn't.I am normally a very happy,carefree person who lives life to the minute for i don't know what tommorrow will bring.Will I work again? If not what? Yes this is what I am living with right now,but i just think of my brother who hasn't walked in years and we have almost lost 4 times in the last 2 years.(19)I know that someone else's life out there is worse..,but really sometimes we have to walk in someone else's shoes to really understand. Blessings to everyone. trying to post you're all i have by snow patrol.love the song

Thinking of ending my blog..,,,,,

Maybe it is the weather,maybe it is my illness,neither one of us working right now,i don't know.I am beginning to think that i want to shut the world out as i just can't pull out of this nasty nasty feeling of emptyness,lonleyness and depression.My life is and world is crumbling all around me and all i can do is try to grab at any string.I know in time that this will pass,with alot of hard work for me.I don't think I have ever tried so hard to understand the bible as i keep rereading it.I can hardly walk,can't work which is not helping matters.I have one great person who comes to visit(you know who you are).But I can hardly wait till my bestfriend has her baby any day now. From behind my four walls.Maybe it's just a bad day..,yeah maybe

Hockey & Lacross

Which sport is more violent.., i don't know.I don't know but i tend to think hockey is rougher as of the game between Ottawa and Pittsburg. Look at the Canucks go.., awesome.Okay I really don't follow hockey,however it is a little hard during playoff time.I do have my own hockey heros though and my own two favorite teams. Other than that it is hockey in our house.

A change,,,,,,

Hi everyone just thought i would share my new hair.

the old:











Out with the old in with the new.!!
















Courtesy of lynne,















First time allowed to have it done at home, instead of professionally and it turned out wonderful. All for a grand total of$15.00 or so, how cool is that?
Jordan also helped with picking the new color.., wouldn't you say he has good taste?

Not much happening here.,,

This is what i am reading with all my spare time.Company is welcome anytime.
Just want to say a heartwarming thank-you to all who helped us in our time of need.We couldn't be more appreciative.When I feel like we are alone with no family all i have to do is think that all 4 of us are god's children too.I think of our family here and all our brothers and sisters in Christ.Something I have been struggling with myself is how to press more into God.(if i said that right)Lynne and I are starting the arrival kit where i left it off.,, tommorrow.All I know is I want more and more of God.Jordan starts Lacross next week,praying for no broken bones.Samm is doing very well she amazes me,Bill is doing okay but is folding under the pressure of both of us not working.So with lots of time on my hands i have been reading.
