My Life as a Mother - A Mother's Day Reflection

I truly believe that God put me on this planet to be a mom to Brad and Ashley. He knew that I would make a perfect mom to these two special children. I truly believe that being a mom is the one thing that I have done right in my life. To imagine my life without Brad and Ashley in it would mean not being able to imagine life.

A few days ago my sister, Renee and I were talking about how much we love our children. She said, that she loves her children, Marisa and Chris, as much as she loves her husband, Aldon. Honestly, I don't remember how we got on the topic but I told her that I love Brad and Ashley more than Joey, my husband. Don't get me wrong Joey is my best friend but my children are my life. I would survive without Joey in my life, I am not so sure I would survive the loss of one of my children.

When I was pregnant with Brad I remember thinking life doesn't get any better than this. After Brad was born I thought, life couldn't possibly get any better than this. Then I found out I was pregnant with Ashley, I thought it is possible that life could be better than once imagined. When I gave birth to Ashley and experienced the ups and downs of her first year, I thought how can life be any better. Now I look at Brad and Ashley as they become a preteen and a teenager, I know life can get better and I am really looking forward to the rest of my life as a mom to Brad and Ashley.

Okay so I made you wait a couple years.  I promise I will try to get better at this.  Now to help  you catch up on what happened in 2018, 2019 and so far in 2020. Let's see...this might be a very short post at least for the years 2018 and 2019.   2018 In 2018, Brad graduated from the Univeristy of Alabama with a BS Degree in Economics and Philosphy in May. He is still dating his high school sweetheart, McKenzie, there is talk of marriage.  After graduation, Brad got a job with Reuters as part of their Graduate Leadership Program.  Then the division of Reuters that Brad worked for became Refinitiv.

It's been a while. Did you know...

that Ashley was in the hospital  after Thanksgiving and before Christmas?  She had a bleed. She has varices.  Just a little reminder that she is not healthy and has a life threatening liver disease. that we lost our beloved beautiful puppy, Sarge, on January 2.  It was sudden, shocking, and sad.  We think he had leukemia based on his symptoms.  Not sure if we will ever get another dog.  Sarge was one of a kind and a perfect fit for our laid back, drama free family. that Ashley made the Principal's Honor Roll her 1st Semester of high school while taking all honors courses.  She is beautiful and smart. that Ashley is still dancing for her high school dance team minus a solo this year. She loves being part of the team but really misses competing in her favorite style of dance, lyrical/contemporary. that after a couple years of not having a dance studio to call home.  We think we may have finally found just the place.  Maybe som...

On the Mend

Ashley's doing better and was able to attend dance company rehearsals Saturday and she was finally able to eat something for lunch on Saturday. She still doesn't have much of an appetite but she at least is on the mend and is no longer contagious. Me on the other hand. I have been very healthy these last few years; hardly sick at all. Yesterday, I came down with a very nasty stomach virus and I am frequently in discomfort. Other than a bout with intermittent stomach cramps and frequent trips to the bathroom, I feel fine. Hopefully this little stomach bug will go away very soon. And I pray that I don't pass it along to anyone else in the family especially Ashley. Cookbook Update : I just checked the UPS website and the cookbooks are on time, in Orlando, and should be delivered to our house tomorrow, June 30. I am so excited. We have 80 more cookbooks to sell, so if you haven't ordered yours yet please do so today. Please see information about ordering cookbooks at the ri...
