The Graduate.....

                                                Kayla, May the good Lord be with you
                                                  Down every road that you roam
                                                 And may sunshine and happiness
                                              Surround you when you're far from home
                                         And may you grow to be proud, dignified and true
                                        And do unto others as you'd have done to you
                                                       Be courageous and be brave
                                                   And in my heart you'll always stay
                                                     Forever young, forever young.......

And when you finally fly away
I'll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell

But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever young, forever young

(That Rod Stewart is a wise man ; ) )

Oh, my son is going to be so mad at me for this one!!!!..... Ha Ha Ha!

Mom

I made this video for my mom last mother's day. I came across it on youtube the other day and I had to resend it over to her.
This video means so much to us cause it is compiled of video footage from our favorite movies (each clip reminds me of my mom) , favorite song and pictures of me and my brothers. My mom and I laughed over the phone about how others who may watch this video might not "get it"....and think my mom is a screamer! Ha! Well, maybe she was from time to time.... but you see... my mom has bi-polar and if you messed with her kids, you were going to hear it!

Mom, I know having bi-polar disorder has been a struggle, but I wouldn't want you any different than the way you are. To me you are perfect! I love everything about you and am so blessed to call you Mom!

Happy Mother's Day!

A Mother's love

God gave mother's the most amazing gift...... the ability to experience unconditional love.

Would a mother not sacrifce her own life to save the life of her child? Does a mother not forgive her little one when they say "I'm sorry"  (she even forgives when they don't apologize)? Do you think a Mother stops loving her children just because they make a bad choice? The answer is "No" to these questions.

Hmmm... does this not sound a lot like the way Jesus love us?

The Reason

Jesus, thank you for dying for me..... for forving me for all the bad choices I have made.... for all the people I have hurt.. for taking away my shame.. and washing away my sins (which you have to wash away daily). Thank you for teaching me love... compassion and forgivness.

I will NEVER be a perfect person.... but the ONLY reason I am who I am today.... is because of you.

"The Reason"

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you       
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You

and the reason is You

Get the ugly girl to marry you.

 This is my deep in thought, editing face......Cute, huh? Ha Ha Ha!
