friday...

yea, it is friday...just like a kid, i still love friday's, and i don't work, well i am the ceo of my house. that does count! it is not easy to run each child where they need to go, organize the meals, the basketball uniforms and then the husband to boot!

enough of me, i did this blog to lift others, although i have not figured out how to invite friends, so it will come, after some reading and more utube tutorials.

my father is dying in hospice today...i did not really grow up with my dad, divorce and all of that, but he is at the end, he was a vietnam vet and the agent orange did him in! he was the first one into the fields to check to see if it worked. i have prayed all day that he leaves this world in peace, i don't think his life was filled with much peace. his parents did not have peace and it just flowed through. he has a daughter, my sister, who is a wonderful, beautiful soul and it is amazing how God can take something that seems without hope and fill it!

when it rains it pours...my uncle who raised me, had a little heart problem today. when i got the call, it made me think about his part in my life. anyone can be a father, but it takes a real man to be a dad. i heard that somewhere and it is so true. he would take me to girl scouts, attend my cheerleading days, meet my boyfriends and drive 3 hours each way to take me to lunch when i was in college. for a girl struggling to make ends meet, he would slip 100.00 bill in my hand when he left...he will never know, maybe he knows, how he shaped me. he was and is the most caring person i have ever met. his ability to see other's in pain and to "fix" it, is his gift, along with many others. he married my aunt, who has loved me for a lifetime, they both have lifted me my entire life.

my mind is now a million miles away, so i will stop writing. all i know is that God took a little girl, who could have gone down many different paths and set it straight with the people HE provided. (i knew i was one of HIS favorites)!
