My heart aches

I haven't posted since December but I read all the posts. My heart aches for all the lost lives. I think about Melissa in California all the time and many others. Donna's sudden passing is still a shock for me and now the latest on Eric. I think of all of you daily. I have trouble sleeping at night as my mind races, wondering if you will leave my children this way. My oldest is 20, 10 and my twins just started kindergarten. I am now waiting for three biopsies that look suspicious on my skin. Colon cancer has changed my life..........

p.s. Hey Craig, if you read this, Emma and Jackson STILL listen to your Christmas CD. I got so SICK of listening to it by the MONTH OF MAY, I had to tell them I couldn't find it and then accidentally hit CD in the car and it was over....the kids went crazy and there we were in the middle of July on a blazing, humid, hot, summer day with it blaring in the car while people walked by in shorts... so funny. :-)

    It is so good to hear from you; I have wondered how you are. The losses have been tough; there is no doubt about it. I keep those we have lost close in my heart, especially on tough days - I know they are rooting for us.

    Hey Christine:)
    How comforting to know you are still around! I've missed you.

    Your story gave me a big old belly laugh - and did it ever feel good!!!!

    It just goes to show you that any month of the year can be Christmas - when you put your mind to it. I'm so glad it is still bringing them joy - hopefully, they will not be too wore out when this year rolls around.

    It was always to me, the Gift that keeps on giving forever - it has that kind of magic.

    Tell Emma and Jackson Ho, Ho, Ho from Santa Craig and that I'm checking my list...and checking it twice, LOL:)

    So good to see you, I just can't tell you - or maybe I just did:)

    Couldn't Help Myself

    You piqued my interest that I had to go back and put the Christmas CD in the changer and started playing it.

    Oh my! It's 95 degrees down here still mid September, but all of a sudden, it's a time machine and I was caught up in the tunes and my mood and everything just changed. Just bopping my head to the music - thought about getting the elves and the reindeer out of the closet and saddle up and start spreading the cheer again.

    You really brightened a corner of my heart today with your story. How touching that 2 children were still enjoying that CD 5 months after the fact - and they picked it right back up where YOU left off, LOL:)

    It is magical - it does have healing powers. It helped heal me some today, Thank you!

    Just wanted to tell you that...still listening to it. The Hits keep on comin' dont they?

    Hi Annecan,
    Wow, I didn't
    Hi Annecan,

    Wow, I didn't even think anyone would even remember me! Yeah, I think you are
    right, they are rooting for us.

    I am doing fairly well at the moment. We went on a couple mini vacations, one with
    the kids and the other, my myself and husband. It was very nice to get away.
    I had another surgery since I last posted. I can't say why I was so
    quiet all these months but I am glad I reached out. Thanks for saying hello.

    Peace and Calm,

    Christine~

    Hi Craig!
    Yep, those kids
    Hi Craig!

    Yep, those kids listened all the way through until May and would have continued had I not straight up lied and
    said I couldn't find it.. We never even took it out of the CD player. That is wonderful to hear, it brought a bit of
    peace and a smile to your face to listen to it today.

    I am sorry to hear about your situation right now. :-( How is Kim handling it all?

    I will post a picture of the twins on their first day of kindergarten. I think Amy must live fairly
    close to their school.

    Peace and Calm,

    Christine~
