    Thank you, Kelly. She is enjoying the job very much. Your need for an employee turned out to be a blessing for her. I'm so glad you can work together.

home again!

And thanking the Lord for keeping us safe!

The cruise was awesome, we plan to do it again!

the house in Florida was fab, the dolphins & manatees played at our pier!

We ate our way thru the bahamas, and back up thru savannah Ga, loved Paula Deen's rest.

I am sort of glad to be home, but could have stayed for another week!

we are off!

to Florida for a week, then Bill & I are off to the bahamas on our first ever cruise!!! I am so excited, I feel like a kid going to disney world!!

Please be safe while we are gone.

one yr already?

at 04/26/10 1:45PM
I went to akron this past weekend and went to the cemetery in Alliance, in remembrance of my daddy's pasting one yr ago yesterday. I can't believe the man who gave me life,
gave me unconditional love has been gone a yr already. I miss him as much today as I ever have. He taught me so much, and loved me, bill & the kids so much.

AS many of you know I don't have a relationship with my mother, because she is unable & unwilling to love. So I feel like an orphan, the only mother figure I have had was my dear mother in law who passed in '02.

Daddy was & would continue to be proud of my kids, as I am.

My dear sweet Kevin lead the song, "blest be the ties that bind" yesterday @ church, I couldn't sing the last verse and broke down. My only disappointment was that he wasn't a christian.
and that makes it all more sad.

Just rambling, if you read this, I am just reflecting.

May God Bless you daddy, for being the best daddy ever.

love,
your heart broken little girl

    Oh, Kelli. You make me cry with you. I wish there was something I could say or do to take away your pain. There isn't. Remember, however, that you are not an orphan. You are a child of God. He's there and has blessed you with your wonderful family. Try to remember your happy times with Daddy, and enjoy the happy times you have ahead, Lord willing, with your family.
