My Angel
On February 5, 1974, God sent me to the arms of an angel. An angel whose arms are always open when I need a hug, whose heart always understands when I need a friend. An angel whose eyes are stern when I need a lesson, whose strength and love guides me and give me wings that enables me to fly. I am most fortunate to call this angel my mother.
Hello Operator
This one's a little sad, but it reminded me of me when I was a kid.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Operator, does Heaven have a phone number? Mommy went to Heaven, but I need her here today, My tummy hurts and I fell down, I need her right away, Operator can you tell me how to find her in this book. Is heaven in the yellow part, I don't know where to look. I think my daddy needs her too, at night I hear him cry. I hear him call her name sometimes, but I really don't know why. Maybe if I call her, she will hurry home to me. Is Heaven very far away, is it across the sea? She's been gone a long, long time she needs to come home now! I really need to reach her, but I simply don't know how. Help me find the number please, is it listed under "Heaven"? I can't read these big big words, I am only seven. I'm sorry operator, I didn't mean to make you cry, Is your tummy hurting too, or is there something in your eye? If I call my church maybe they will know Mommy said when we need help that's where we should go. I found the number to my church tacked up on the wall. Thank you operator, I'll give them a call.

Angel on Earth
A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
"Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."
God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."
Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"
God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
"Who will protect me?"
God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking it's life."
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
"You will simply call her, 'Mom.'"
"Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."
God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."

"You will simply call her, 'Mom.'"
Before I was a Mom
Before I was a Mom -
I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.
Before I was a Mom -
I cleaned my house each day. I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom -
I had never been puked on - Pooped on - Spit on - Chewed on, or Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and My thoughts. I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom -
I never held down a screaming child so that doctors could do tests...or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom -
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom -
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important.
Before I was a Mom -
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known The warmth, The joy, The love, The heartache, The wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.
Send this to someone whom you think is a special Mom...
And remember that behind every successful woman......
is a basket of dirty laundry.

Happy Mother's Day Mama
If roses grow in heaven, God please pick a bunch for me. Place them in my mother’s arms & tell here they’re from me. Tell her I love her & miss her. When she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek & hold her for a while. Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day. But there’s an ache within my heart that will never go away. I miss & love you Mom!! Happy Mother’s Day!

So excited!!
I feel like the little kid waiting on Santa. lol We leave in 16 days going to Florida & Disney World. I can't wait!! I may be a little more excited than the kids. lol Then in 22 days it will be mine & Kevin's 10th Anniversary!! YEAH us!! :) We are spending our Anniversary at Disney World, where our marriage & the magic started. We went to Disney World on our Honeymoon. This is the first time we have gone back since we married.
Kevin is taking 2 weeks off from work. We are driving there, stopping at cool places a long the way. It should be lots of fun.
We are going to stay here. The Cabins at the Wilderness Lodge. It looks like such a fun place. lol I always wanted to stay in a log cabin. It's my dream. Yes I know it's a silly dream but it's my dream from my childhood. I'm just as excited to stay there as I am going. I'm so excited that I have to check out their site almost on a daily basis.
We are also going to visit my great aunt who lives in Lakeland. I always promised her I'd come for a visit & have yet to get to come. But this year I'm going. She's always been the one to come to TX. I just saw her a month ago at my Great Aunt Winnie's funeral & then the month before that when she was here for a visit. So it's very rare to get to see her 3 times in a year. Normally we go years between visits.

Happy Birthday Mama
Dear Mama,
Happy Birthday!! You would have turned 56 today. I wish Heaven a a phone so I could hear your voice just one more time. Or even an elevator so I could come for a visit. I'd love to see your face & look into your eyes once again. I always thought you had the prettiest eyes any mama could have. There are so many things I have wanted to tell you & share with you these past 26 years. I'm sure you already know about it all. I think of you so often & miss you dearly. All I have are our memories and a few pictures. Your memory is a forever keepsake, from which I'll never forget. You would have made a wonderful grandma to my boys & would have spoiled them more rotten than they are. God has you in his arms, I have you forever in my heart.
~ ♥ ~ I love & miss you so very much! ~ ♥ ~
