After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul.
And you learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises,
And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child,
And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.
So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure...that you really are strong,
And that you really have worth.
I have a grown daughter and I'm a grandma of three beautiful girls.
My daughter is a beautiful person not only on the outside but she has a beautiful soul. She is a wonderful mother and wife and I am so proud of her.
My oldest granddaughter turned 13 in January (OMG), She is beautiful, smart, and funny. We don't spend as much time together like we used to because her social calendar is so full at this age, but through the good and bad times, I want her to know she can count on me. I love her so much.
The twins turned 3 on May 4th. They are the wildest little girls I have ever seen. They are in to everything and nothing is off limits. But, they are also the sweetest, smartest babies ever!!! They love to watch "Cinderella" and know everything about the movie, even the sound effects. I absolutely love being a grandma/gweema.
Cancer has ravaged my family and it breaks my heart. My oldest brother June died of liver cancer, my precious Mom died of brain cancer, my 29 yr old neice Pamela had thyroid cancer, my 42 yr old nephew Donnie (Big Poppa) was recently diagnosed with inoperable liver cancer, my brother-in-law Kenny has prostate cancer and I had malignant melanoma. I was the lucky one. Even though it was the deadliest form, it was slow growing, they got it all through surgery and I didn't have to have chemo or radiation.
RIP Big Poppa, you are going to be missed so much by so many people.

Children are so precious and should be protected from harm. I will never comprehend why this happens. People who commit these crimes should get the same punishment as their innocent victims.
THIS SAYS IT ALL: Time passes. Life happens. Distance separates. Children grow up. Jobs come and go. Love waxes and wanes. Men don't do what they're supposed to do. Hearts break. Parents die. Colleagues forget favors. Careers end. BUT........ Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you. A girl friend is never farther away than needing her can reach. When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley's end. Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you...Or come in and carry you out. Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters, daughters-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, Mothers, Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extended family, all bless our life! The world wouldn't be the same without women, and neither would I. When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we would need each other. Every day, we need each other still.
