An update on my sister, Maronia, on April 30th 2008 at 9:20, my sister died of bone cancer, it was caused by a lymph node that the doctor didn't think was necessary to remove.

The Dove is for me,
I had lung cancer,
And like many people who smoke and think it want happen to them,
well you better believe it can and will,
I smoked for 44 years,
Most of those 44 years,
my cigarettes were non filter,
and again I thought I wouldn't get cancer but i did,
The day I found out I was sick,
I crumpled up my pack of cigarettes and threw them and the lighter out my car window,
I had my operation on september the 17th, 2004,
I am at this writing,
nearly 7 years cancer free,
if there are young kids reading this,
and they want to smoke,
let me tell you,
it's not worth the heartache that you would go through,
along with your family,
My husband nearly lost me,
If I hadn't gone to the doctor's when I did,
I would be 6 feet under now,
and yes,
I believe there are angels,
I have a least 3 on my shoulder at all times.

P.S. I quit smoking on July the 15th, 2004,
I haven't pick up a cigarette since,at this writing, on December the 26th 2011 I am 7 years smoke free.
AND I also DO NOT CRAVE FOR THEM!
I hear people all the time say they crave a cigarette after 20 years,
they just think they want them,
they really don't.

~Mother's Getting Old~

The years are getting to her

Her mind is not the same

She's just getting older

She's really not to blame

She can never fine her gloves

She's such a nervous wreak

I should put them on a string and hang them 'round her neck

Yesterday was really bad

She walked home from the store,
her car still in the parking lot with the keys still in the door

When she finally made it home,
she stop and looked around,
suddenly she realized she's left her car in town

it really hurts to watch her,when she can't remember me,
somedays she's just perfect and happy as can be

She can't help what is happening,
this is what i'm told,it's really not her fault, she just getting old.

This Is For You Hon

~Should You Go First~

Should you go first and I remain

To walk the road alone,

I'll live in memory's garden, dear

With happy days we've known.

In Spring I'll wait for roses red when fades the lilacs blue,

In early Fall when brown leaves call I'll catch a glimpse of you.

Should you go first and I remain

For battles to be fought,

Each thing you've touched along the way, will be a hallowed spot.

I'll hear your voice, I'll see you smile, though blindly I may grope, the memory of your helping hand will buoy me on with hope.

Should you go first and I remain to finish with the scroll,
No length'ning shadows shall creep in to make this life seem droll. we've known so much of happiness, We've had our cup of joy; and memory is one gift of God that death cannot destroy.

Should you go first and I remain one thing I'd have you do:Walk slowly down the path of death for soon I'll follow you.

I'll want to know each step you take that I may walk the same, for someday down that lonely road you'll hear me call your name.

~~~~ If I Knew ~~~~

If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep,

I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door,

I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise
,
I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute to stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming you would know I do.

If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day,
well I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right.

There will always be another day to say "I love you,"

And certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get,

I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike,

And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?

For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day, That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear,

Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear.

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"

"Please forgive me,"
"Thank you,"
or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

A Poem
I struggle finding thanks this year,
I miss your warm embrace.
Yet gazing at your photograph,
A smile adorns my face.
So when it's time to give our thanks,
Truth we can't ignore,
It's memories of loved ones lost,
That we are thankful for.

Memory Lane
While looking for a certain snapshot,

A walk down memory lane I got,

Pictures of Children now all grown,

With Children of their own,

What a resembalance I did see,

As they added to the Family tree,

Now these Children or Now Grown,

And they have carried the Genes on,

How exciting to be a Great Grand Mother,

I am filling Albums from cover to cover,
