Cherish

the animal whisper

The quiet gentle soul

The lights of my life!

    


 I didn't plan on blogging today as I am so tired physically and mentally...but it is only 10:19 Am and I have been enlightened several times today already...
     First off all by an old high school friend Wendy Mccormick who shared with me how strong she thinks I am and that reading my blog makes her be easier on her little girl because she realizes that the little things do not matter.... THAT IS HUGE! These children we are gifted with are such treasures, such blessings, they are pure and sweet, and love us unconditionally...
     Please love up on your children, on all children for that matter... There is NOT enough love in this world... The way you raise your children and the love and respect for others you instill in them is one of the worlds most important rolls... they are the future... and this world needs help...
     Nothing is more important than them...everything else in the world can wait... My sweet Tori is sick today and because of this cancer I cannot even comfort her... I am only human and there have been many times that they have been sick and I was so tired and exhausted that I would have done anything to not do the poop and puke duty...lol... But my heart rolled over today as I heard her throwing up and I could do nothing about it...my Surgery is in 5 days and I cannot get sick this Cancer needs to come out NOW!!
      Thank God her dad is PERFECT and loving and wonderful and could do for her what I cannot and that she has an Aunt Barb that will come and sit with her so that Steve doesn't miss another full day of work...
     I really love my kids and all of those that know me can attest that I do my best by them, today I realized what a privilege it is to love these kids even when they act out, even when they make messes, even when they fight and throw fits, and yes, even when its poop and puke duty time... We are everything to them....and if we let them know that they are everything to us then that will pass on to their kids and has the power to change the world...
     As Moms we do the best we can but these children we were gifted with are watching and listening and they learn by our example.
    So, thank you Wendy Mccormick for sharing that with me because it really opened my eyes as well... Hugs to you my friend!
     And in closing this made me all the more determined to BEAT THIS!!! so I can get my life back...
