SIs and I...many hairstyles later, much laughter, much tears....love the pixie cuts when we where small.
I am
Grateful for so very much in my life!~ But
first and
foremost, I am grateful to my Mom for choosing to have me, at the very young age of
16. She gave up most of her life for that choice, and I don't tell her often, but I want to thank her for that decision, as I know it was not easy to have a baby, when in fact you are a baby yourself at that age. We had our struggles,
sure we did, I think Mom's and daughters in general have difficulties at some point,we just happened to be closer in age when they where happening:). I love you Mom! My Mom worked very hard as a waitress to support my sister and I after the divorce from my Father. We had absolutely everything and more that most kids had with two parents. We always came first.~ Four years apart are my sister and I, which again, I may not always tell her how much I love her, and am thankful to have her. She is truly my best friend! Sis and I are always there for each other, when the goings get tough, I can call her, knowing there is
no judgment, no fault blamed and she is there to listen. She knows me better than I know myself, We are cool like that!~ I love you Ang! My life is so blessed in so many ways, I almost sometimes question it, how did I get so lucky?..... to have an awesome family, awesome Husband who is also my
best friend! and no matter what loves me unconditionally, with all my faults and all! And my boys, they are the best sons a
mOther can ask for! (talk to me in a couple of years ,I will let you know how that is going). I have many friends, whom in which I am grateful for. But in all honesty at the end of the day, it is our family that is truest to my heart. I love you Mike, Alex and Jack XXXOOO! Oh and LUcy too! I don't have her picture here....so sorry Luc!
Older pic here...bad haircut on Jack! No wonder why he is my hippie boy now!

And thanks to Jan for letting me link to her Brag fest! My family is worth Bragging about.
