Blessings....

I've been blessed with five wonderful men in my life.  The first was my father.  He was my rock and definitely loved his first born (that would be me!).  I loved him more than I can ever say, and watched him suffer until he finally went to his forever home in 2004.  I love you, Daddy.

Then God totally blessed me with the best husband and best friend, Gary, in the world.  We were married 18 happy years until he died in an accident in 1995.  At a very young age, I was all of a sudden a single mom with a 9 year old son.  I was devastated and thought I would never get through it.  Thank God I have a very strong faith.  That is TOTALLY what got me through that time, along with my family and friends, without losing my mind.

During that 18 year marriage, God blessed me with the 3rd man in my life.  That would be my precious son, Kevin.  As a mom, I don't have to tell other mom's out there the love that I have for him.  Even though he is 25, married and has blessed me with 2 grandchildren, I still love him as much if not more than ever.  You are a wonderful husband and father, Kevin.  You will always be my "little man". 

Then after being a single mom for five plus years, God brought my Bob into my life.  Today we celebrate our 11th anniversary.  He totally completes me and I love him very much.  I could NEVER have picked anyone better to step up to the plate and help me raise Kevin.  Most people didn't even know he was his stepdad.  Kevin loves him and looks up to him.  Boy that does my heart good.  Thank you , My Bob for 11 wonderful years together.  I pray we have many, many more!  I love you!!

And last but not least, God blessed me with my little Carter-man, my grandson.  He sure has stolen his LaLa's heart.  AND those sweet babies are coming this weekend and I'm jumping around like a kid in a candy shop.  I can NOT wait until they walk in this door.  They are 2 and 3 and are at such a fun age.  NOW, I have to admit that when they leave, I will probably sleep for 3 days straight!  LOL  But while they are here, we will spend every moment having a good time, and of course I'll be stocking up on neck sugars and hugs to last until the next visit.

Have a wonderful day, my friends, and enjoy the weekend.  We are so blessed to still be a free country and have so many blessings.  Let's celebrate those, shall we?

Hugs and love from Texas,
