Flaming June's Love

""Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at the people who belong to us we see the past, the present, and the future"" Author: Gail Lumet Buckley My brothers were all in this weekend and I am truly blessed. My daughter got that tattoo last week and I felt blessed then, I feel it today. I will feel it tomorrow when our new President takes his oath of office. I am not a politically savvy person, but I do know what feels hopeful, courageous and brings a nation together even if for one day. How would my Dad feel about a black president? It could have gone either way. I know how I feel. I feel a bubbling unity, a desire to calm the disenchanted, an air of pride. I am excited for tomorrow, I am excited for the day after too. I am attaching pics from our night out all together. I missed my sister in laws but I was happy to have, "My Boys" They will be 90 and still be my BOYS.

Because You Remember Me Submitted by: Scrapsaholic Author: Unknown I know I am still with you in your prayers, your thoughts, your heart And though you cannot see me, I will always be a part of life's sweet celebrations in those times when you reflect on how, though things are different, through our love, we still connect. We'll see each other someday when our spirits all are free, until then, I am with you because you remember me.

Love this although I dont know what the message is for me lately. Just a few of my favorite things. Love to all.

A Danish proverb: "The road to a fiends house is never long" I am feeling this today. My niece left this am to go on back to New Mexico. Her visit was truly refreshing for me. She added a new feeling of... something else. I dont know if she has a peace about her that adds something more to the house. I think it is new perspective and I respect her. She is still a kid and we all have so much to learn but when you add someone new to the mix it is always a good thing. I think she found out about our lives and we saw a glimpse of hers. It is all good, and I now feel that I have a friend as well as a niece in New Mexico. the other night I mentioned something to the effect of a lesson needs to be learned at every stage of her life and she just needs to learn it in ITS time. She said well what is the lesson?, Sheeesh if I know Kay but there is a lesson in not rushing through life. She has had an opportunity to go to Africa as a volunteer for rape crisis which is her goal. ...

How lucky am I really. well I have amazing kkids, a loving husband, generous caring friends and nieces and nephews that make me want to stick around for this trip to see how amazing their lives turn out.

Dear Dad, I hope you are doing well. We all miss you very much. We are now in the new house and I think we are all pretty happy. We went by the old house yesterday Missi and I, and it looks ok, but I still wish we were all there. I found this picture and thought of you. Is this where you are? Is heaven really in outer space or are you just somewhere around us in the dust and light that passes us everyday.? I hope that you arent too far away because I talk to you all the time and I hope you hear at least some of the stuff I talk about. Did you see the kids this week? They are having fun and being soo good. Mom is doing alright. She misses you and I think she is more lonely for you now than she ever was. I hope that you arent missing us this much. Anyway, I am still thinking of you all the time, I wish you were here to tell me the best thing to do, because I dont know if I make the right decisions all the time. I hope the time between now and when we see each other is not t...
