I don't ever want just "feel good friends", people who only ever tell me what I want to hear. Who only say happy things. I want friends who are honest. Who tell me what I NEED to hear, no matter how harsh. Even if it goes against my desire at that time. If it's to better me; If it saves me heartache and my soul less trouble in the end then by all means tell it like it is. Don't let me walk into a fire because you think the flames are "so sparkly and pretty", tackle me & don't let up until I come to my senses. Those are friends to keep close. Life is not rainbows and butterflies, they do happen on occasion and are to be marveled at and appreciated as they appear throughout life but I don't walk around in a bubble thinking everything is peachy at all times. I don't think myself a pessimist although I do complain sometimes. Nor am I the optimist although I do stay hope filled. I see the good, and the bad for exactly what it is and I don't downplay one or sugarcoat the other. If you only surround yourself with those who only ever feed you "sweet words", you'll end up with a lot of cavities.

Poem for Mommy on 2 Year anniversary of passing

"He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." - Psalms 147:3

We love you Mommy,
and all of us cant wait
to be with you in Heaven someday.
To see your bright shining face.
The smile that no amount of pain could take away.
Your strength is still my inspiration. My motivation to carry on
despite the sorrows of my heart that longs to be with you again
I know in the end we will be
We love you endlessly....

Mommy's Day

Mommy, today is your birthday....
and it hurts in the worst way that I cant hug you,
Tell you I love you and hear you say it back
Keeping track of days that have past since you passed
has proven to be the most difficult task...
They all seem to blend together
like the feathers of a Dove
against the clouds of white above
I cannot tell tell them apart
Nor can I prevent my heart from this pain
nor my pillow, the stain of my tears
It's been but two years
that have felt like an eternity
The hurt in me hasn't ceased
Still I grieve to this very day
And I pray for that peace
and understanding
That one day God's planning
will make sense to me...
Until that day
I'll have His grace to be my comfort.

I love you and miss you my sweet Mommy....
Happy Birthday in Heaven.....

Sweet Still Voice

The silence speaks volumes
The Truth is found in solace
When there is no noise
You hear the sweet still voice of God.
