I am 63 years young. I have 6 kids, the youngest of my boys passed away in October 05, my oldest son passing in March of 22 and I miss them dearly. I love to cross stitch and have been designing my own designs for over 10 years. I'm getting into a new hobby designing dog clothes for extra small dogs.
I heard from Sunny about the passing of another journaller. I did not know Walt and had never read his journal but I have now added his link under those of our other departed friends so that you can leave condolence messages or just go and read his journal. May he rest in peace.
Sunny has looked through his journal to try and find a photo of him without success. If any of his regular readers has one I would be grateful if they could send it to me for adding to the sidebar along with the other photos. Thank you.
I was listening through some old music last week and found this particular song.I thought I would share it with you all as the words seemed appropriate.Our “Angels” will be dearly missed.My condolences go out to all of their families.
Spice Girls – ‘Let Love Lead the Way’
What makes this world go round Will the answer let her down She is so sweet and young And her life has just begun What does her future hold?
That's the story left unknown Will she make it through her days?
Let our love lead the way
Part of me laughs (ooooh) Part of me cries Part of me wants to question why (question why)
Why is there joy? And why is there pain? (ooh) Why is there sunshine and the rain? One day you're here Next you are gone No matter what we must go on Just keep the faith And let love lead the way Everything will work out fine If you let love, love lead the way
Sitting there all alone In the window of her room Watching the world go by Brings tears to her eyes All she sees is hurt and pain, she wants to break the chain She'll keep pressing everyday and she'll find her own sweet way
Part of me laughs (me laughs) Part of me cries (I cry) Part of me wants to question why (wants to question why) One day you're here (you're here) Next you are gone (you're gone) No matter what we must go on (I will go on) Just keep the faith (keep your faith) And let love lead the way (I know, I know, I know, ooh whoa)
You can be all that and still can be who you are You gotta know for sure that it isn't make believe You may feel weak but you are strong Don't you give up if If you keep holding on, you'll never be wrong Just close your eyes cause it lies deep in your heart, yeah
Part of me laughs Part of me cries (I cry) Part of me wants to question why (question) Why is there pain? Why is there sunshine then the rain? One day you're here (you're here) Next you are gone (you're gone) No matter what we must go on (I will) Just keep the faith And let love lead the way (lead the way) Everything will work out fine If you let love, love lead the way Love lead the way
I started this journal after I heard that Kim had passed away and recieved her wings. I had the chance to get to know Kim the Christmas of 06. She emailed me and asked if I was the one who had the two teenagers girls that was on The Giving Tree. How she knew this, I did not know. In the email she asked for my phone number, so I gave her my cell number thinking she's not going to call. Boy was I surprised when the phone rang a few minutes later. We talked about my girls their health problems, my son Kyle who passed away in October of 05.She told me about her girls and her son Jimmy. I told her my oldest son name is James. She also talked about how she liked taking pictures and told me about her photo journal. We talked for hours. A week later I recieved a christmas card from her and she had sent my girls some money to go out and buy themselves what they wanted.
I was really surprised by the giving and caring lady she was.
Who was I? Just someone who read her journal!
I found out I had Breast cancer two weeks before Kim found out she had it.I found strength, encouragement, support, humor in her journal. Some one who was going through what she was fighting the battle of her life. Had the courage to come to her journal and put down in words what she was going through.
Her last entry where she said a piece of bread confused her had me worried. She stopped emailing me. I continued to send her cards some she got some not.
I know Kim was an Angel for my girls on Christmas of 06. Christmas of 07 Kim became an Angel.
My friend you will be greatly missed.
This journal is not only for the Angels of 07 it is for all of JLand Angels. Past and present.
Thought you might want to know there are lovely Memorial Quilt Squares for the J-Landers that have passed, over at Stitched With Love. You might want to snag some & put them on your side bar. {{}}
Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die.
I was really surprised by the giving and caring lady she was.
