Graduation.

My niece graduated from high school yesterday.  There were over 400 in her class, I think that was the largest graduating glass from her school so far.  It was exciting and a lot of fun to watch the ceremony.  We all had a good time.

I was excited because my older sister had given me a camera.  She had bought a new one and no longer had used for her older one.  She remembered that the one I had was broke and I was not in a position to purchase a new one, she remembered me and brought me her old one.   I was thrilled.  I thought I'd be taking pictures with my phone and if I had to I wouldn't have taken so many pictures.

I took a lot of pictures, my first few weren't of anything in particular, I was learning to use my new camera.  I still have a lot to figure out about it, but I got it down for general picture taking.

Hope you enjoy the pics, there on my photo blog and you can view them here.  Enjoy and have a great blessed day.

More songs that I like.

All you need is love.

I'm a believer.

A Sweet Treat.

My son calls and gets my address so he could send me flowers for mother's day, he called back a couple days later and asked if I liked chocolate covered strawberry's.
Yes I do.  He decided to send me the strawberry's instead.

Oh so good, much better than flowers

Mother's Day

Well this is the first year that I won't be able to send my mother flowers and a card, or call her.   Every year on Mother's day I would either send her a card, flowers, or call her.   This year I can't do that for she has passed away. 

It is so difficult to loose your Mom, especially when you are the one that has been chosen to be the care giver.   Oh God Mom how I miss you and wish I had done better by you.

Loosing your mother is a very difficult thing.  Now I am along with my sisters we are the matriarch (We are now orphans) of our family's.

Mother's day is next Sunday.  I really don't know how I'm going to handle it.  

I feel the need to call a florist and order flowers, also the need to look for or write a mother's day card and send them to her.   She is no longer here!!!   I miss her dearly.   I want her back, whole and unscathed, no cancer, no pain, no anything.   I miss her so.

Well life goes on and she wouldn't want me to fret, but I do anyway and wish I didn't.

Mom I love you and miss you, what can I say: no more mother day cards, no more flowers to send.    However you and dad are in my heart always.

I miss you and love you both and I know we will meet again.
