What I thought was the best surprise...

was actually "one-upped" when they ALL surpised me again with Tori and JaVonte home to visit!!! What a great weekend...this was Columbus Day Weekend before I headed to FT Rucker.

Paul and the kids collected sticks and leaves and made the wall hangings and the hurricane lamps. Then Paul made the candle holders - they are incredible!!! With our new fire pit, I was in heaven visiting with everyone!

To My Mother:

For so long I was angry because you couldn't take care of me
I didn't want to hear about your private demons or struggles
And I never ever wanted to have to leave

For so long I despised your sickness and how it affected me
I didn't want to hear about your disappointments or hardships
And I never ever wanted to have to leave

For so long I ignored you and was only concerned about me
I didn't want to hear about your desires or dreams
And I never ever wanted to have to leave

For so long I held my forgivness close to me
I didn't want to hear about your explanations or reasons
And I never ever wanted to have to leave

I will have to live with my selfishness now for so long
The reasons and pain I didn't want to hear
Will now echo in my life for years and years
And the only excuse I have I will forever sing like a song

That I never ever wanted to have to leave...

I Love You, Mom!
