Hey kids! I hope your spring has
sprung ~ out here in the Mid-west it has. It's so beautiful with all the
flowers blooming - it rains at night but 70's during the day...it's perfect. (If
I do say so myself)
Happy
birthday to our May babies. I do wish you all the health,happiness
and love you all so deserve in life. Just be thankful to be alive
everyday.That's been my montra lately..I
wake up and thank God I'm alive...and I go about my day with happy
thoughts of my husband, my kids, my family. There are tears of joy, tears
of frustration sure...but mostly tears of joy ~ and I pick and choose my battles
~ it's scary getting wiser 
I was thinking of my mom (because
you know it will soon be mother's day) Men don't forget your wives (for your
kids) and if your mom's still with you don't forget her....surprise her with a
hello mom happy mothers day. I will always love you.
I often wonder if I said
everything to my mom before she left this beautiful earth, and you know
what? I think I did, I am now raising the boys as I know she'd be happy
with. For anyone who remembers my mom she was such a lovely women full of
love and life, courageous ~ she loved her children and her children's friends
without a thought - sure she asked questions about some of the strange ones we
brought home *none of you don't worry* other schools ~ But she always knew we'd
make good choices. So today on the 1st of May I make a choice to let you
all know how wonderful you are to me. Your friendship is such a
blessing...even if you liked me or not.....it's all good, I will always think of
you as my friends.
I hope you all had a great
Easter..Jeff Stone it was so nice to hear from you..don't work to hard, and I
hope you and your family are having safe travels.
Barb, thanks for your emails and
you to Shelley ~ I miss you all so much, and I know someday I'll make it back
there ~
Enjoy life to it's fullest kiddos
and know that someone in Ohio will always care for you even when you are in your
deepest darkest hour...take care my friends and I'm so glad that I can
call you all that.
Happy Mother's Day girls (in a
couple of weeks) Kim Kinney will take flowers out to mom's gravesite for me
(well she was cremated) so her little vault. It's on 119th so if any of
want to go visit Tutasi Ramsey for her daughter feel free and tell her hello for
me. She was such an awesome gal with alot to give and she died so young -
now we are loosing friends who are even younger to cancer...I do hope that Shawn
Seeley's kids and hubby are doing well...Krista please pass on my hellos to
Terry and the kids. Thanks
Much love to you all
Always a
friend,
Jo
