One day in the near future, she'll be gone. My fabulous grandmother and my boy's great grandmother. And we'll all look back at this picture and be thankful we had this moment in time, captured in our memories forever.

Say I love you today, if tomorrow comes, you can say it again too.....

Even when you're lost, never ever lose hope...

124 over 84.
To many, these numbers signify nothing. To me, they signified everything that I have been going through these past couple of years...which came to a head a few months ago, and culminated in my decision to prove to myself that indeed, "When there's a will, there's a way!"

..to be continued...

my boys

My rays of sunshines. My two wonderful boys. The lights of my life.

Resolutions?

Yes. Just the one.
I resolve to learn to love myself, more.
Put me first for a change.
Nod when I agree.
Shake my head when I disagree.
Say no and stick to it.
Say yes only if I really mean it.
Somehow somewhere I will find me again.
Until then, I'm giving myself a pat on the back. ....

I choose to live....

I choose to walk on water, skip in the sun, have a healthy heart and glowing skin.
I choose to let my body breathe, I choose to never deprive it of oxygen ever again.
I choose to turn my back on this addiction and never look back.
I can and I will.......

............letting you go........

letting you go was probably the hardest thing i ever had to do in my life
but letting you go was what i needed to set myself free

i had to learn to live again, for me.

to learn to love myself and begin the slow journey to find my selfworth again...

...no more tears, i am tired of waiting.....i cannot wait for you forever .........
if one day you do awake, it may already be too late....

The Serenity Prayer

God
give me the strength to except the things i cannot change,
the courage to change the things i can,
and
the wisdom to know the difference.

If I could turn back time................

Id wish it to be 2000 again. The new millenium.

But if indeed I could turn back time, I wouldn't have this little human that gives me reason to live and breathe today...............

If I had to choose, would I have lived life differently...?

Today is the first day of the rest of my life.

I have given it all, I have done the best I can. I have fought the good fight and now, It is time to take a bow and a step back.

God, I leave it in your hands, to strengthen my faith and guide me through life's journey from here. I was told that all that you do, you do for a reason, I still believe in you and know that you are there with Daddy, looking out for me from where all the good men go.

Maybe only time can heal me, maybe only me can heal me..........whatever it may be, as a part of me dies, a new spirit grows, I hope to be stronger and more resilient and wiser to the world.

Today is the first day of the rest of my life............a single red leave alone on granite, although cold, deep red blood still runs through my veins and I will survive.

And I hope one day I will be..............

A penny for my thoughts....?

If you needed a penny for every thought in my head. I'd be richer than Warren Buffet by now.....................

The meaning of my life!

As a typical mother, I worry every moment about your safety and pray and hope that you will be safe and sound every time I leave the house to go to work. I keep a watchful eye on you whenever I can to make sure that you are out of harms way.

I pray each day that God will help to look after you and hope that you grow up to be a good person and will lead a full and productive life.

I do believe that you and your brother will be the only kids I will have the pleasure of having in my lifetime, hence it is with a bit of overprotectiveness that spills over with my treatment of you daily. Forgive your mom for that.

Each time you voluntarily hug me, each cheeky grin, each time you subconciously reach out to hold my hand when you are asleep, these memories are filed away dearly to be remembered when you grow up and become more independent and don't need Mummy so much anymore as you begin to explore and experience the world around you.

But till that day comes, I will cherish every naughty totally exasperating thing that you do and even though you awake each night to crawl into bed with me and slumber again between your Da da and me, it's okay......I do so love your baby smells and sturdy body in my arms as I too fall asleep again.

So baby boy, know that Mummy loves you lots and dear God, please keep this naughty person safe and sound and let him grow up and grow old beyond us.

My heart and soul is all wrapped up in this naughty bundle of energy.
