I must remember to get another copy of Tear Soup...such a great book and somehow I can't help but give it away everytime I buy one.

I've been getting the SOS Newsletter for years and April is their Remembrance Issue so I want to send them Michael's "information".

I gave up trying to read Carl Sandburgs book about Lincoln after reading that he'd taken some "liberty" describing Lincolns dad and their relationship. Now I'm trying to read The Adventures of An African Slaver...one of my dad's books..no wonder he was a Unitarian. *grin

Our three daughters are on a Carnival Cruise and I can't help but wonder if they are all being treated extra special in light of the recent "Problem".

I was tickled to hear on FB that BMW got my postie...it's ok to tell me here dear lady...lol

My dad believed in a "free and vigorous press"....wonder what he'd say today. I'm so angry at all of them (with the exception of Leonard Pitts) because they blow everything out of proportion and create news instead of reporting it!! In my humble opinion ........

Abbie, we are here for you. I finally recovered from that opera!! It was almost 5 hrs long!!!

And Goofy I hope you are feeling some better.

Wren, again today we had five bluebirds at the bird bath!!

feeling better, and i got your card in the mail yesterday Alffe
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is the husbands birthday. Him and his twin were born 5 minutes after midnight so they were almost valentine twins

been wondering about BJ the past couple of days. does anybody keep in touch with her?

OH.... almost forgot.... Happy Birthday BMW love you much

That full moon took my breath away this morning! And it always makes me think of BMW...

I was happy to reconnect with a survivor that I hadn't talked to in years.

He stunned me years ago with the telling of a "presence" over his son, who was on the floor, dead from a gunshot wound...the voice saying to him.."I've got him..don't touch him". And the tears poured down his face while telling me this.

I've always believed that our Michael wasn't alone when he took his life.

Think I'll go gaze at that moon some more before it gets light.

Hugs for the room.

I don't know where to put this sorry if this is the wrong place..... if you can think of a better place.....please ask a moderator to move it...it won't upset me.

The next couple of months are going to be really hard on me. I have to take my college entrance exams----English, Composition, and Algebra.
Yes, I am going back to school!! I've already been accepted and financial aide approved.

PLUS..... Ashley's birthday is March 8th. She would have been 23. Then on April 2 well, that's the 1st anniversary of her death.

My brain is already rattled, my heart is breaking, there is a lump in my throat the size of Texas, and the tears are already flowing....silently, in the dark, alone in my room.

Hugs to all!!
Abbie

Gentle hugz and prayers coming your way

Abbie I cant help but put on the shoes and well my oldest has same birthday March 8th she will turn be 22 .
