You touched my heart, sorry for you and I feel the same way with my dad who passed away a few months ago, I miss him very much too.  He is still there looking over you.

Day 2 was for Dad watching over me from above

Posted on May 28, 2011 at 5:26pm 7 Comments

Today was for him and for me it has been on my shoulders for a while.  We handed in the keys to the wonderful woman that has been his landlord and i offered to…

My sister is fine now and I will be getting the final items out of Dads house tomorrow. As for a job I want to work for a charity. I was a VP and just want to do something that comes from the heart. I am looking… Continue

It's been a while since I did the 29 gifts program. My life got hectic and i have had some medical issues and business issues that took me away. NOW I AM BACK.

A sister of friend who is a few years younger than me had a stroke. This is a grammer school firend and she is in her early 40's. She was recovering and things got worse, she went blind in one eye and is losing her vision in the second eye. This week her company made her come in a clean out her desk until she either…
