That made me gag in bed this morning.

Only in Florida......when I was down there one winter, some woman died after drinking huge amounts of water for a radio station contest.....

Hi everyone, just stopping by to say Thank you for your condolences and good wishes, they are most appreciated. I'm lost right now, not to mention a little bit in shock. It was only 36 days from the time he was diagnosed until death.
I knew in my heart when he was admitted on Tuesday night that he wasn't coming home. I've been down this road before and the outcome has always been the same. He passed away on Sat. Oct. 6th, we will bury him on Friday the 12th and then i'll run on Sat. morning in his honor. I have a great support team and a pillar on either side of me when I run Sat.....2 of my daughters are running with me. ^_^
Again, thank you all for your kind words and support.

Thanks.....Stopped at the farm today....Mr. Moose was across the road this morning, but I didn't get to see him....my grandkids' school bus driver stopped so that the kids could look at it.....

Nice!

Today I say goodbye to my brother, thought this was most fitting poem.....

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

attributed to
David M. Romano - 1993

When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today;
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me
As much as I love you;
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand.

She said my place was ready
In heaven far above;
And that I'd have to leave behind,
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye;
For all my life, I'd always thought
I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for,
So much yet to do;
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad;
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.


If I could relive yesterday
Just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized
That this could never be;
For emptiness and memories
Would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things
I might miss come tomorrow;
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates
I felt so much at home;
When God looked down and smiled at me
From His great golden throne.

He said, "This is eternity
And all I've promised you;
Today your life on earth is past,
But here it all starts anew."
"I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last;
And since each day's the same day,
There's no longing for the past."
"But you have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true;
Though at times you did do things,
You knew you shouldn't do."
"But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free;
So won't you take my hand
And share my life with me?"

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here in your heart.

BIG Hugs today, dear!

Thank you for the poem, Pixie.....hopefully it will help ease your sorrow......

HERE ARE THE 3 OF US AFTER WE FINISHED. ^_^

This was after my brothers service, this is my Dads brother...Uncle Clarence and Aunt Jennette and I. He's 82 and going strong, both of them lost a kidney to cancer 14 months apart ...they were such an inspiration for my run. This next picture if myself and 3 of the 4 brothers I have left. The one on the right of me with the gray hair is Alan, he is also battling cancer. The one on the left with the red shirt is actually the oldest...Clark will be 70 next month. :) Last but certainly not least is my brother Everett, the Colonel(retired) standing in the back. Then my 5 children & I outside of Olive Garden .

Congratulations, Pixie! You did a great job! And the family photos are precious....

Congrats Celeste!

Thought about you all day. Woohoo! Great time!

Grandybaby #10 made his arrival this afternoon. Got a call from DDIL she was having contractions. 2 mins later got another call her water broke. I was already in gear to go over, but this sped things up. Had to ride my bike cuz she had my car. DS was in a weekend seminary class birth of Philly. Glad their house is only 2 blocks away. Jeff got the kids and took them to our house, I drove Rachel to the hospital, Taylor drove(flew) down from Philly. Hospital is in Newark, DE. Anyway, once he got to the hospital I came on home to take care of the kids. Baby? Name not decided yet he is a little early, arrived a little after 4. He was 7# 5oz. Don't know the other details. Csection went well. Praising God for his blessings! He was due Nov. 8
