My daughter is coming back to Tennessee and before her baby girl is born!!? It's a girl, Stormy Will be her name. I am happy and unhappy at the same time. She is moving back in with the father of the baby only he has a girlfriend living there. I think it will make my daughter sad and wounded. We will see. I am rooming with others so I cannot offer her a place...
Family, that’s one thing. Even the whacky relatives are part of the furniture, but friends are different, friends are the family you choose.
So - if your friend makes friends with someone you really dislike, and wants to be all pals together, what do you do? Smile sweetly and play nice? Point out the new friend is a troglodyte? Or just quietly back off because anyone who can have that as a friend is obviously not the person you thought they were?
You can do that with friends, but it happens in relationships too. SHE disapproves of HIS friends, HE thinks HERS are a pain in the proverbial. SHE thinks he spends too much time out with his buddies, and doesn't need so many boys nights out, especially with those particular boys. HE blames her friends for every glitch in the relationship. And so it goes on.
Who do you choose in a case like that? Love me, love my friends / Dump the friends, or dump the love / Lay down ground rules / other. Well, that's why I'm asking, really. Has it happened to any of you, that your new best person has a toxic friend, and how did you handle it?
Finally, Mom's leg was better enough to have a wonderful celebration. Never had I seen her smile all day long like that
Big big thanks to my buddies, adopted parents and siblings, neighbours, relatives and wishes, prays for making her day
and obviously mine too.
Lots of flowers, wishes and smiles yet tons of requests that i should stop being too picky and get married as soon as possible to make Mom happy, thus, i had to make a promise to try to make a family within this year... very challenging task! Please give me good luck almighty lol.
Tiring happy day is over now but thanks so much life for giving me such a great Mom and all the people around. Thank You
Now she is laying here, can't move around doing stuffs as agilely as she used to be just a few hours ago...Doing all the things that she used to do and taking care of her are hard but it is much harder and heart-cutting to see how time cruelly lays its impacts on her health...and how i am letting down her wish for a grand child...
Next 2 days we will be celebrating her 70 years old but today she got this incident. I was so happily preparing for the event but now all i can do is wishing that she will be fine in next 2 days and better health in the time to come.
She is aging, and you know? I love her so much.
Where are you? I can do everything by myself but i can't give our mom a son-in-law, our children a dad and myself a husband without you. I can't just grab any man that i don't love. I just need you. Please come soon to bring our Moms, our children and ourselves happiness. I am really scared, scared that with Mom's getting-worse health i will not be strong and wise enough to wait for you my true love...
why haven't we met yet? Why is there so much pressure like this? Good people should deserve good things, shouldn't they? Why a very basic thing as having a small happy family is still far from our reach?
It is lunar new year here. I am staring at the stary winter night wishing for Mom's fast recovery and a magic of us (Mom, you, our kids and me) being together as a happy
Family.
Is it a satisfiable wish? :(
Today is the last day of our sheep year, it's the time for families reunion tonight and together welcome the Monkey New Year to come... It's a happy time but unfortunately that my sister disconnected with us for two years. Though I still want to take this moment to say;
Grateful to our parents for they offered themselves in fostering us...
Thankful to my friends for their support and help in my difficult time ...
I wish you all and your families a happy and prosperous Money New Year !
...after a delayed flight then a 3 hour bus ride she eventually got home at 2am..her daughter waited up to greet her..this morning she gave her daughter a necklace and bracelet and both said thanks....made my day to see a cute kid smile
We Latin Americans love our family. And the love that I have for my children and Grand-children says it all.
Any minute, or maybe even second, I will be a Gramp for the 4th time. My son Brandon and his gorgeous wife, Tonia, will be having their second son. Hence, my title.
Mijo is a shortened name for "mi hijo" which means "my son". I have always called Brandon "Mijo". When his son, Leo, was born I then named Leo Mini-mijo. So now that I have another one coming any moment I have christened Leo "Mini-mijo I" and the new grandson "Mini-mijo II". Hee Hee!
I am so proud of my son. He has become a real good man. I am equally proud of his wife. They love each other so much and Leo is the apple of their eye. Now they have "2 apples of their eyes"!! Hee Hee!
I will be venturing back to Ontario (CA) to see them next month. It will be good to see my kids once again.
In anticipation of all the well wishing I say thanks. I have been using the library computers and one will not be available until next Tuesday because of the weekend and Martin Luther King's birthday celebration!
When I get back I will acknowledge everyone!!
5 or 6 yrs old
9 yrs old
15 yrs old
..and then 49...
When I look back at old photos..I don't have many...Ive forgotten to much more than I can remember..good times...bad times...but in general I have a good life and better than most..and that Im thankful for and will always appreciate.
