Good early morning, sisters.  It is so nice that you guys got together last night.  I miss the "old days" too...an experience not likely to be repeated.

I am sorry to share some very sad news.  My son-in-laws best friend passed away 3 days ago, suddenly and tragically.  They were as close as most brothers and he (and we) are devastated.  I first met this boy when he was 13 and took my daughter to the 8th grade dance.  They were good friends all through school and she wound up marrying his best friend.  He moved to Florida a few years back, but they remained close and spoke constantly.

The last time we saw him was when he flew in for Tristan's birth.  He was the first person my son-in-law embraced when he came out of the delivery room.  They shared a bond closer than most brothers I know.  He was supposed to be Tristan's godfather.  I am filled with a sadness that is indescribable.

Please pray for this beautiful man gone way too soon.  He was smart, sensitive, kind, and movie star handsome.  He was currently pursuing his masters degree in English Literature.  A poet with the most beautiful soul.

I will talk to you soon.  It may be a while before I feel like partying.....please understand.  I love you all.

Oh Cassidy.......(((((((hugging you so tightly))))))) ........sometimes there are just no words that are adaquate, just know that we are standing quietly beside you and your son........shoulder to shoulder........holding you up....for as long as you need.....you are all in my thoughts and prayers (((((hugs))))) nsmd











 

Let me add my sympathies to you and your family Cassidy.  How horribly sad.  My thoughts are with you.

Wondering how Tennessee Girl is doing....If I recall correctly, her youngest little one was off to full-day kindergarten. And she was taking a part time job to get through the empty nest more easily.

So of course, she's busy.   But, hey, check in with us if you can, TG. 

I made this little g i f for you.   Hope it works.    It seems to, but I had to un-mute it.  Those are fun...you just put the letters g i f in front of youtube (video) and you can make your own little 12 second or so gif.

my childhood cancer awareness fact of the day....it's a little broader than just a cancer fact but sense my daughter has had several of these now....I really appreciate those who donate blood  




 

Hi sisters!
It's midnight right about now, april.  My eldest donates blood as often as is possible.  He must be just about perfect as a donor, no allergies, no asthma, absolutely no other health problems.  They started it when he was in college.  I felt a bit uncomfortable about that.  It should really be an adults's job, not one for a minor to do.  His then girlfriend was not accepted for blood donation as she weighed under 50 kg.  I don't do it any longer, as they found some blood clotting problem after having a series of miscarriages about a decade ago.  I'm sure there is an age limit and if it wasn't, the blood of donors in their prime must be better in some way. 
 

that is so awesome about your son Gabriele   there is no telling how many lives he has saved by donating.....not everyone can donate due to alot of reasons and that's ok.....but to those who can and do.....I just want to say thank you
