Me & You

Ordinary, no
Really don't think so
Not a love this true
Common destiny
We were meant to be
Me and you

Like a perfect scene
From a movie screen
We're a dream come true
Suited perfectly
For eternity
Me and you

Everyday, I need you even more
And the nighttime too
There's no way I could ever let you go
Even if I wanted to

Everyday I live
Try my best to give
All I have to you
Thank the stars above
That we share this love
Me and you

Everyday, I need you even more
And the nighttime too
There's no way I could ever let you go
Even if I wanted to

Ordinary, no
Really don't think so
Just a precious few
Ever make it last
Get as lucky as
Me and you
Me and you

Too Much On My Plate...

I think the title says it all! Today, I feel as though there is too much on my plate. I am staying optimistic though...I AM going to accomplish everything I need to get done! I know all of the items my plate holds right now are important...so I can't let any of them fall. It will take a few late nights, early mornings, hard work, patience...but I WILL get it ALL done!

In the mean time...here are some of my shining faces that keep me going!

Conflicted

Today is the 6th anniversary of my Dad's passing. 6 years...Really?! It's been 6 years since I've heard my Dad's boisterous laugh, his electric smile, how his eyes danced when he was being onery, the way he used to "joke" until the "joke" just wasn't funny anymore, and of course his wonderful hugs! I miss my Dad. My heart hurts today for him.

I have been reading "Heaven is For Real"...and am so conflicted on my thoughts & feelings towards this day in particular. I have such hatred for April 4th it's hard to put it into words. I HATE that my Dad was taken from me at 28 years old...on April 4th, 2005! I feel so selfish with my thoughts of what he's missing in my life. He never got to meet my wonderful boys. He's not here to see what we have become. That if I live past 56 years old he wouldn't have even gotten to witness half of my life! It makes me so sad to think about. This book sheds a different light on things for me though. With all of the references to Heaven & how absolutely wonderful it is...how can I still feel like this?! This was the day my Dad became healthy & pain-free again! This was the day my Dad got to experience everything he lived his life for! My Dad is in H.E.A.V.E.N.! How can I be so bitter when I know he is in such a marvelous place?! This book has done wonders for me spiritually - I feel like in some ways it's enabling me to reconnect with the very foundation my parents tought me for as long as I can remember...and I think that makes my Dad happy! Maybe he helped to guide me to this book...I felt so drawn to read it (which doesn't happen often). (I recommend this book to anyone...religious/non-religious those who have loved ones already in Heaven or not.) It is such a blessing to catch a glimpse in the glorious place my Dad now resides.

As I close...there are 2 things I know for sure at this moment & they are...
1. My Dad must have extraordinary Angel wings!
2. I can't wait to see him again one day!

A New Look...A New Beginning

I will be SHOCKED if anyone even reads this post to see that I'm going to start the blog back up again! As you can see, I'm working on a new layout & updating all of the pictures on here is next on the list!

I feel like there's just so much going on with our family these days...I want to write it all down before I forget something! I can't believe the last time I posted was almost a year and a half ago! The time has been moving at record pace & my next entry will include a laundry list of events that have occured over the past year and a half! If I can make it all fit & remember them all - Ha!
