I saw that somewhere else too I like that

awww mine's the 11th but we aren't leaving town until the 12th since my b-day falls on mother's day...

that's good.... and it's hard to understand why someone wouldn't want to be there... coming from the child's point of view it took me becoming an adult to half understand sometimes I still don't but have accepted it for what it is that maybe it's just the way God wants my life to be... I have a step-dad who I didn't always get along with but I have a great relationship with now.... and he is there for me when I need him... and he didn't give up one me... and he was willing to change and put in a little effort unlike my real dad

it's hard.... I don't have a very good relationship with my real dad... and like I said I have never meet his side of the family... my grandpa on his side passed away in december of 1995 and my grandma past away somewhere around june-october of 1999 I don't even know what they look like... it was a battle with my dad for a long time about how things went down between my parents.... and when I was 16 I went down to FL to live with him after not seeing him in 8 or 9 years... my aunt said it was better for me to get to know him myself instead of what people told me.... but what people told me was the truth.... I have learned to accept that our relationship is what it is and no matter how hard I try or how bad I want it to change it never will.... it's just who he is

how old is your son now?

I'm not sure what happened to family but I understand where you are coming from... my parents split when I was 2 and my mom would right my grandma on my dad's side all of the time and send her pics of me and my brother and one day my grandma just stopped writing.... my mom said the last time she saw me in person I was about 9 months old.... she passed away when I was 17 I never met her... or anyone else on my dad's side of the family and I am 25 now.....

too bad there were no gatherings planned around may 11th... I am hitting the road for 2 weeks then with a friend to celebrate my birthday and her graduation from college

Welcome Back

To Those I Love And Those Who Love Me

When I am gone, release me, let me go;
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears,
Just be happy we had so many years.

I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness,
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it's time I traveled alone.

So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a while that we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart.

I won't be far away, for life goes on,
So if you need me, call, and I will come.
Though you can't see, or touch, I'll be near
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All of my love around you, soft and clear.

And then, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile, and a
"Welcome Home"
