My crazy, tragic, sometimes, almost magic, aweful, beautiful life!!!

About Me

I am a Mother, Wife, Sister, Aunt, Grandma, Cousin and Friend. My family is the most important part of my life. It has taken some very tragic events to make me realize just how important family is. I have made a promise to my self to never let time go by without telling each of them how much I love them all, the ones that are mine by virtue of birth and the ones that I have the honor of having for other reasons. For whatever reason they are a member of my family, I treasure each and every one of them.I am married, or will be in November of this year to a wonderful man. I know that many people will find this next statement to be out of date but Craig is truly my other half he is what makes me a complete person. Many would argue that one does not need a mate to be complete; I am very much me regardless, however with him in my life I am whole and feel complete on not just a physical level but a spiritual one as well. He loves me for my self. He is compassionate, and tender. He believes in me and encourages me to be the best me I can. He loves my children as if they were his own. He took on me and my entire brood with no hesitations or reservation. I love him with all my heart and thank the powers that be each day that he is a part of my life. I have one biological child, Geoffery, which is the light of my life. He is an amazing young man. I also have the incredible honor of being Mom to 3 of the most amazing young adults I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. My son Billy, the oldest, Billy is an amazing young man with an incredible wife and son, my daughter in law Steph and my grandson Kameren, I love all three of them with all my heart. Then my son Kirt, his wife Chanri and their two amazing children Doni and Arieana, whom I can only hope I can get to know better and become a bigger part of their life, even though there is a gap in our relationship I love them all. Then comes my daughter Amanda, her husband Mitch and her daughter Kayla... Manda is currently pregnant again. (Grandma thinks it’s gonna be a girl) With time and trying I know that we can be as close as we once were, if not even closer. I have 2 other foster sons Nick and Josh who are both great kids with amazing potential.My Sister Trisha is one of the most incredible people I know. She is so strong and independent. She has raised 3 of the world’s most amazing kids by her self. She has my utmost respect and always will. Her daughter Heather is a wonderful young woman, with morals and a love for her family and life that is inspiring. Her daughter Courtney is the smart one of the family not to mention incredibly beautiful. Then there is my nephew Mason, he is just Mason and I love him with all my heart.My Brother Chris, his wife Jami and their children Little Christopher and Jameson, (Please read my hero section to find out more about Jameson) Chris and Jami are truly the strongest people I know. They are wonderful parents and all around great people.My brother Jim and his wife Cathy are two of the most in love people I have ever met. I only hope to someday have the magic in my life that they share. They have 2 daughters, Chelsea, who is taken away from us all too soon, she was killed in an automobile accident this past November (2006) she was a straight A student, very athletic, charming, bright and beautiful. I miss her a lot. Casea is their youngest she is a lot like my self when I was her age. She is a wonderful horsewoman. She has been showing horses for a few years now and is very good at it. She is a great student and a very warm and loving young lady. Jim has an older daughter, Cory, from his first marriage. She is a mother to three boys and just as wonderful as her two younger sisters.My Brother Cody is the late bloomer of the family, in April of this year (2007) he will become father for the first time. He and his girlfriend Heidi are having twin boys. Cody is an awesome brother always there for me when I need him. Not only is he my brother he is my friend.Lastly, there is my Mom. She is my best friend. I obtained my love for children from my mother. For most of my life growing up there was always a foster or brother or sister around. She was always the first one to a kid in when they had no place else to go. She raised me by herself for the most part, and even thought it was not always perfect, I would not change a thing about my childhood. It is because of the way she raised me, that I am the person I am today. She taught me to be responsible and take care of my family. She also taught me that no matter how bad things were as long as you have your family around you things will get better, she was right.I am a practicing Wiccan and have been for 16 yrs. It is something I take great pride in and refuse to hide. You can either accept me for who I am or not. I will not change nor will I hide my beliefs to impress anyone.ModMySpace Profile Customizer

Heroes:

~~JAMESONS PLACE~~ My Nephew Jameson is truly my greatest hero. At 15 months old he was diagnosed with Neuro Blastoma. A solid mass form of cancer that is almost always fatal. When he was diagnosed the doctor told us he had one of the worst cases he had ever seen. My entire family was not only in shock but in for a very trying time. When a member of your family is struck with cancer, your entire family has cancer. There were some very scary moments that we had to deal with that took a toll on us all. However my lil cherub seemed to bounce back from even the worst. He battled pneumonia, infections, 5 different bacteria, and the side effects of the Chemo treatments, all with a smile on his face and forever loving.One of the hardest blow came on December 20th, 2006 after all the long months of treatments and all he had been through, the doctor told us that the tumors had “exploded” (a term they use when a neuroblastoma tumor spreads at a rapid rate) In a matter of a few days his tumors whet from being contained to spreading through his entire body. They informed us that Jameson would most likely not see the New Year. It was a hard pill to swallow. However the news got worse, on the morning of the 22nd they told us that he would not make it through the weekend that the cancer had taken over in his brain. We knew now that our time with our little cherub was short. Chris and Jami decided that with the help of hospice that they would take Jameson home, to spend the time he had left with out being hooked to machines and in a hospital. So they hooked him to a morphine pump and home they went. The next few days were very hard on us all. Chris and Jami however were so strong; they seemed to be ones comforting is all. The family had the opportunity to say their goodbyes in their own way with out the environment of the hospital. I went to the house at about 10:50am on Christmas Eve day to say my final goodbyes. At 11.10am Christmas Eve day, 2006 Jameson ended his battle with cancer. He passed quietly and peacefully away in his mothers loving arms, surrounded by his family.Jameson taught me to never give up and no matter bad it is you have to fight. He also taught me to keep on smiling. I can honestly say that through out his entire battle he always had a smile on his face.He was truly a fighter and had an amazing will to live. I truly believe that he had a greater purpose on this earth. I love him with all my heart and forever will.A battle so bravely fought, So many lessons you have taught. Many things we have learned, So many pages left unturned. Eyes so loving and of the brightest blue Innocence so sweet and true. We have loved you so much And we weren’t through. The angels in heaven took you home, They claimed you once again as one of there own. A heavenly choir joyously sings. Our lil Cherub has earned his wings Your pain is forever gone, Free to run and play. Your memory we shall carry on, In our hearts forever you shall stay. Comforted by the knowledge that you have gone to a better place. Free to enjoy the brighter tomorrows. It is with abundant sorrow that we are supposed to say goodbye. Spread your beautiful wings and fly... This is until me meet again, never goodbye.Get Your Own! | View Slideshow ..
