"Happy Mother's Day Mom"

"Happy Mother's Day"

Mom I miss you so much on this wonderful day

It is a special time to speak the words ,I've always wanted to say.

But I'm not sure you can hear me through heaven's door

I just have to let you know that ,I love you even more.

Your always in my heart and forevevr you will stay

Until we meet again on that faithful day.

So Happy Mother's day from me to you

Your the best mom in the world ,this much is true.

I can not seem to put into words how much you meant to me

You were everything a mother is trully suppose to be.

You taught me how to care and how to love

That's why I know your safe in God's arms, in heaven above.

A Scary& Sad Day April27th,2011

Well on Wednesday April 27th,2011 at around 6:50 am or so ,We had some 100 mph striaght lines winds come through where we live.It caused the power to go out & we did not even realize that it was getting worse b/c we did not have any power and our weather radio did not have batteries in it.We had no power so we listened to the am/fm radio that luckily had batteries in it. We all had to pay attention to the weather that day b/c it was only gonna get worse. We live in a trailor,my husband ,myself & our lil girl .But luckily my dad lives next door &my dad has been working on building a storm pit for his trailor ,so we all went over to my dad's & watched his tv,with a generator. This was when the storms began getting a lot worse.We watched as a tornadoe hit in the county that my sister lived in Cullman County.This was the start of a devistating day in our great state of Alabama.The second tornadoe the news showed was hitting in Tuscaloosa.There were tornadoes hitting everywhere & there were some F3's,F4's, & F 5's.Our county was hit but it was a few miles from our house b/c we could see the funnel going across ,as we ran into the storm pit. We were all scared & had no clue that in our county,we would lose 14 ppl from this storm.This was the day that many tornadoes would hit our state and 1 tornadoe traveled 182 miles across the state b/c it left a scar that long across Alabama.This was a terrible day and we lost more that 250 ppl have been comfirmed in Alabama alone. And there are many people that are Missing from our state. The whole southern half of the country seemed to feel these storms but Alabama was a total disaster area. Fema has been here ,The President of the Untied States has been here, alot of political people have been here. Actor Charlie Sheen visited  and was wanting to help out to.This has been so heart wrenching for our state,and the great people who live here.My family had a few trees down & we had to do with out power for almost 5 days but we all were blessed & lucky this time.The storm was near us but spared our family & friends. I am not sure why these things happen to people.I do not think really any of us can answer that question .My heart hurts for all of the families whom have lost their loved ones,or whom have a missing person and or all those who have lost everything that they owned. This has been so traumatic for our state.The stress is intense and the tears have been pouring down.I can only keep everyone in my thoughts & prayers as they try to pick up their lives and try to move on."Please God Bless Alabama & take care of these people that have been affected & let them know ,that we will never forget ."

"How Lily Lynette Furneaux touched my life"

Well I was introduced to this story in late December,so this was only a month after what happened to Lily.I Met Lily's mother Lauren online on my face book page.We talked on the IM for a bit.She was so pleased that I did some pictures for her little angel.She was one of the strongest women I think I have ever had the pleasure of talking to.She is the most loving & sweet mother & a fantastic person all around. I admire her strength ,If only everyone could have the courage that she carries everyday. It must be so hard to grieve for your child & yet try to carry on a fight for justice at the same time. I can not even begin to imagine how she must feel,but my heart goes out to her & her whole family.They are all a great group of people,that keep their faith going strong.I am so sad that I had to meet this family ,in such a way.But I also feel very blessed to have met them & know their sweet beloved Lily's story. She is such a beautiful lil girl with one of the most magnetic smiles I have ever seen.She has these sweet beautiful brown eyes that sparkle.She has a personality that shines through ,even after her passing. She has touched a lot of lives already and I have a feeling that she will touch even more lives . She is a sweet lil precious angel now ,up in the sky with God taking care of her.I may not have ever met you Lily but you have really made a strong impact on my everyday life. I am a big time child abuse advocate now. I think that more people need to hear your story ,so that we can wake people up to child abuse being a real everyday problem. I will continue to support Lily & her family through everything.She will never be forgotten & she lives in many hearts across the world now. She touched my life & now I hope you can read about her & let her into your lives. I know I have not met you Lily but I love you to inifinity & beyond baby girl. God Bless The Furneauxs.'

"Bipolar Poem"

Bipolar what it means to me, some days are good some are bad,
then some days can be the best that you have ever had
It means sometimes you are up and sometimes your down,
but sometimes your feet can't make it off the ground
One day can be simple and another can be trying,
some days you can smile and others you are crying
The feelings that you have to over come are your's to bare,
when times get so hard you feel as if no one could care
It means sometimes you have so much rage,
then other days you feel like a bird locked in a cage

It means there are days your not at your best,
then there are some days that can be a big test
Some people may not really understand,
then you have others that lend a helping hand
Some days go by so slow ,others to fast,
there are days that you wish would always last
So this is what mean's to have bipolar, to me,
yes it's scary and no fun to have as you can see.
(Written by Angela Baker and yes I have bipolar)

"How Dominick Calhoun touched my life."

Well I was introduced to this story on facebook & It took my breath away knowing the pain that this lil boy had to endure. No child should ever have to deal with this kind of hurt & pain.It sickens me to really try to put myself in his lil shoes.I only wish I could really have taken his pain away.He was  a brave lil boy who had to deal with more pain then some of us in a lifetime. How can anyone do this? Why did'nt his mother  stop this from going on. How can a mother allow this to happen to her child.I as a mother can not evn begin to phathim this.It is so hard to hear everything he went through his last days.Then to have his big brother there watching what happened to him.Then I think of poorTyler and how he must have felt? I wonder how much abuse Tyler had to endure as well. While I can not imagine how scared he must have been watching this man hurt his little brother.This poor lil boy needs to be given to the grandparents ,so they can take care of him.This makes me want to cry.I only pray that Tyler will be able to be back in his families arms again soon.So Dominick & his story has touched me in more ways then one.I also hold my lil girl a lil tighter & do not to get mad at her over silly stuff.I try to be the best mom I can be.I want to take care of my little girl & teach her the right ways of life.How to be loved & to love. I really want to thank Dominick for touching my life.I want to thank the Calhoun's for allowing us to share in their support for their lil superman. You are loved by many more then only those who knew you.We all feel as if we have a little bit of Dominick with us ,watching over us making sure that we are doing our best to prevent & stop child abuse.Thank you lil man for being Our lil Angel. God Bless The Calhoun's & much love to you all.

"I may be gone"

I may be gone but never that far away I'm in the air that your breathe everyday. I'm the rays of sun that shine upon your face
I am the wind that blows all over the place.
I am that warm feeling you feel in your heart
I'm with you always and we well never part.
I can see you,even though you can't see me
I am all around you from the mountains to the sea.
So do not cry for me today for I am still with you
Part of your memories and in everything you do.
I may be gone but,My love for you will never fade away
So continue on your journey until, we meet again some day.

"My Cousin"

She's tough as nails as you can see
she's my cousin and my friend and she means so much to me.
She fights so hard and she is so strong
not much can get to her as she carries on
She's one of the strongest women you will ever meet
You can knock her down but she will get back up on her feet.
Her faith and hope that she carries each day

We love her much more then words can ever say.
