This is my respect to my Grandma. Last night I had this tattooed on my upper back between my shoulder blades. Yes, it hurt. I cried because I really miss her. When I think about what she has done the most for me, this would be it. Always praying for me. She never stopped. I love you Grandma, and now you are always with me....

Tattoo for my Grandma...

Happy Birthday Grandma!
Today is my Grandma's birthday. It is the first one without her. It is odd really. I would normally be up in Meridian, holding her hand. But I am at home. I have decided to throw myself into cleaning to get thru the day. I don't want to cry. It is not that I don't miss her. I do terribly. It is because crying won't bring her back. It is unfair to wish she were here with all that she had gone thru in the last few years. I want peace for her and I know she found it. So with that said, 'We love you Grandma, we miss you, we will soon you again." I wanted post this poem she gave me when I was young. It was given to her when she had buried two of her baby boys. It has stayed with me, taught me, and comforted me. My Grandma taught me so much. To love, laugh, be humble, grateful, giving, to hold, to fight for what you love, to try to be the best person you could be. She never gave up on me and was always praying for me. Tomorrow I am going to get a tattoo on the bad of my neck. Prayers Hands. Why? Because that is what she did for me. Enjoy the poem, take it to heart, and heck even try to live by it, I do.
Lord Forgive Me When I Whine
Today upon a bus, I saw a lovely girl with golden hair. I envied her
she seemed so gay. When she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle. She had one leg, and used a crutch. But as she passed she smile. Oh God, forgive me when I whine. I have legs. The world is mine!
I stopped to buy some candy. The lad who sold it had such charm.
I talked with him. He seemed so glad. And as I left he said to me, "I thank you. You have been so kind. It's so good to talk with folks like you. You see, " he said, "I am blind." Oh God, forgive me when I whine. I have two eyes.
The world is mine!
Later, while walking down the street, I saw a child with eyes of blue.
He stood and watched the others play. I stopped a moment, then I said, "Why don't you join the others, dear?" He looked ahead without a word, and then I knew he couldn't hear. Oh God, forgive me when I whine. I have two ears.
The world is mine!
With feet to take me where I want to go, with eyes to see the sunset's glow, with ears to hear what I would know....
Oh God, forgive me when I whine, I am blessed indeed.
The world is mine!

September 29, 2007; Katy's birthday party
Photo 1: Anna and Allison trying to rock in the float.
Photo 2: Dera and Kaitlyn huddled up together, you would think they were twins at times.
Photo 3: Anna jumps in!
Photo 4: Katy blows out her candles. Happy 13th Kaitlyn!
Photo 5: Dera and Katy do the 'Soulja Boy' dance, they never get tired of it. I do.
New Tattoo
Newest tattoo, inside my right ankle. Dera drew the butterfly on the right, Anna drew the one on the left, the Birds of Paradise represent my Nanny. It is still healing and will have to get touched up, some color did not stick..
As I sit and wait on the carpet guys who already came by once this morning, but had to send them away because they were super early (and I was undressed), I thought I would post on this blog and update of sorts. September ended with Kaitlyn (dear family friend) turning 13 and her sister Sydney turning 7. I will post pictures of the pool party shortly. Also posting a couple of pictures from Jen's baby shower, Anna's first dance, and whatever I feel up too. I wanna post pictures of my new carpet because I am about to bust at the seems for them to get here and put it in. My house looks like someone threw up all over it. I can't clean because I have 3 bedrooms crammed into 2 different rooms. I am restless. I want the house cleaned. Fun week planned. Going to see 'Horrorpops' (sound is so not what you think, it is actually pretty cool) and 'Loverboy', that one is old school and both will be a blast. Fun! Fun! Fun! Enjoy the pictures....
