Today I present to the world my daughter
She has eyes of blue and white golden hair. She’s ready in her little starched dress to begin her first day of school and I ask you old world be kind to her and treat her with care
For she’s my daughter and has always
been protected by me. It’s sad to think she will find other heros in the world besides me.
Pa, I never did find a hero but you. You taught me how to be a fighter so I never looked to anyone but God. Thank you for the example you were in fighting for what you believed in and for also staying silent and finding peace from within. I understand your silence more now then ever.
You know how you know not to do something? If the right way is harder and you are tempted to take the easy way out! Don’t You’ll miss the journey of life!
more than this… there is nothing more than this the serenity the peace the bliss of knowing I have done all I can said all I need to say I rest, I rest, I rest in knowing there is nothing more than this
We ❤ to mow. A family that mows together grows together! This is my sister. We like to mow and jump in the pool to cool off. Makes me wish I had a pool at home! It rained every day in May and June so this was not an easy mow! 😛
Ezra is under that water you can see his foot!
I posted this so you can get an idea how far back that smaller house sits on the property!
This is a shot from the smaller house to the main house so you can see the back yard. There is a huge pecan tree that shades almost the entire yard! We ❤ to mow
This is a canning shed on my mom’s property. She doesn’t can anymore.
This is called a lean-to shed. At least that is what my mom calls it! This is where she parks her mower. Note the height, it is only 4′, I have to duck my head when I park the mower! To me that’s kind of funny! My mom is 4′ 9″, she doesn’t have a problem with it! 😀
This is the small house behind my mom’s main house. The original owner built it for their mother.
The address 2015 1/2. I thought that was interesting. My family used to flip homes as a hobby. When my mom bought this property it was with the intention of finishing this little house. Vandals broke in and smashed up the bathroom and put holes in the wall, we are in the process of drywalling, and roofing. So far we’ve put in new windows built a new front porch and back porch. This little house is one bedroom, a tiny small miniature kitchen because back then people were smaller.
This is where all my Pa’s stuff is. My mom joked that she can never get rid of Antell! That’s what she called him! I think it’s kind of neat because this little place smells like my Pa. There are little pieces of him everywhere now that I think about it! That makes me smile thinking of it!
I had all but shut down completely when I came to WordPress in 2012. My Pa had passed and me being the oldest sibling was tasked with facilitating everyone else’s grieving process. I wasn’t able to express the depths my soul wept for my Pa. As I type I can barely see but I feel I must share from my heart of hearts, like the deepest of my deep soul. Alex, aka, baby girl, BB hasn’t been well since she was 2. Nearly died 4 times. I’ve sat vigil by her hospital bed alone. I share that not to play a pity party or anything, simply because it is so. I realized why my family and friends aren’t there because my heartache is so raw and so frequent with Alex’s health that it’s almost like it never stop and that is truth.
Now that kid is grown and engaged and I’m entering a new phase of my life but since then many I have come to know are new Sweet WordPress friends and you don’t know my stance on award and nominations. Please if you have sent me an award, it is never my intent to hurt by posting “No Award Please” my intention was to express my thankfulness and my undying devotion to keep blogging. I hold each thoughtful loving gesture in my heart and hug it tight. I thank you so much for following my blog. With each comment, like or acknowledgment this has helped to build my confidence and also I have experience some wonderful heart healing. I’ve made friendship that are closer then family and I love you dearly. I think of you often when your beloved is sick, when you children excel I cheer with you!
I love this place WordPress. I’ve found my art, my words and sometimes I even take photos. I thank you, if I could get in my car and drive to your house I would. When I saw your face I would jump up and down and hug you so tight.
