A Blessed Mothers Day!

When you get a card like this, how could you not have a great Mother's Day? I had got these dresses for the girls last week and they made this card for me. I know I am prejudiced, but aren't they darling?

My son called this morning to wish me a Happy Mother's Day and granddaughters came by.

So, it was a good day.

And then, it was also a sad, sentimental day.

Today, Landen would have been 11 years old. I can just imagine what he would have been like. Full of boy energy I'm sure! I know that he and John are keeping things hopping in Heaven.

I had this picture painted in oils from two different photos that I had of Landen.

The bottom one (with all of the hair) was taken just a few days before he was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma State 4 cancer. He was such a trooper and we had many months of good times before he went to be with the Lord.

The top left photo was taken about a month before he passed away. He truly went from a little boy to a young man in a short time.

If you haven't read about Landen, go to the Dedication to Landen at the top of my page.

He made us all realize that we need to treasure every minute we have on this earth. I thank him for that lesson because it made me realize when John got sick that every minute was special.

And it was!

Happy Mother's Day to you all!

Have a Blessed Christmas!

Bella and I wish you a very Merry Christmas and wishes for a great 2015!

I just want to say thank you to all of my readers for their support the last year. You will never know how special each and every one of you are to me.

Even tho this has been a hard year, I'm reminded of all of the blessings the Lord has given me.

To think that John endured cancer for 18 months, 3 kinds of cancer, 45 treatments and 3 surgeries and did not even have one pain pill until the night before he passed is a huge blessing to me. We had 3 1/2 years of his retirement that we spent virtually 24 hours a day together doing what we wanted. Having a husband who made sure that everything was in order has been a tremendous help to me.

So, I have a precious son, grandchildren and great grandchildren who are here for me and I am so grateful for them all.

Thank you again for each and every one of you who sent encouraging messages and prayers to our family during this time. I'm not going to say that this has been an easy Christmas, but I have made it thru and will continue to look to God for guidance, support and peace that only He can give.

Thank you all and have a Blessed Day!
