Today is my grandmother's birthday, she has passed away. But it is also my daughter Mallory's birthday too! And I am so thankful God gave me her! I babysat her little girl, Paisley, today as she went and got her hair done. My happiest days are like today has been... I have seen my husband, son Ryan, daughter's Mallory and Hillary, son Landon, grandbaby Paisley, and will see my Mom today too! That is really what our life is all about. On my fireplace is a sign~ "FAMILY~ is all that matters" and so today, I'm happy. I hope I can do all that they expect out of me. I want my memories of me one day to be that I was happy, positive to be around, uplifting and fun! Yes, I want to be missed... one day, a long time from now!
I had Big Band and Swing music on tv, worked on college forms for Hillary, cleaned and now it is time to get dressed up and celebrate a special birthday, # 24 for my baby girl! Dinner and a movie, our favorite! God has blessed me more than I thought He would when I was younger. Only thing that could be better is to have my sisters and brother and their families closer by. But I will cherish what I have and how it is regardless. I love the warm Florida sunshine that is coming through my window, I love my hot cup of Cafe' Francais sitting here, I love my puppy Fancy beside me and that the house is sooooo quiet now; knowing it is temporary, that's a good thing! I am thankful for my memory- for real- as I feel the sunshine and hear the stillness, I can remember being little and carefree and it is so vivid that I can say God was with me then and is with me now. And Amen to this part of my day in my world!
