I have lots to say! LOL Sorry I have been MIA lately, been crazy here!

First off.. the pictures are A-DOR-Able!!!!!!! Little D is so precious with his baby laughs and your Princess is turning into a Big girl... as a Mommy of a older toddler I know how hard it is to see them get big on us (can't they stay little FOREVER?!?!?!?!)but she is so cute.

About your father... I am sorry you lost him so young! Having gone thru my situation this year with my Dad I can only imagine.

Third... is that a boxer? We have two! LOL

Fourth... tell the person who told you that about your blog to sod off. This is YOUR blog and if you want to write or tell about ANYTHING you feel like then you do it! See the beauty of the blogs (and this country) if you don't like it... well don't read it! If you lose readers because of this then you know what... you probably don't want them reading your blog anyways. I try to read all your posts but sometimes especially if I am in a "funk" I won't read the whole post but I will say a prayer for them (I take these things to heart too much and sometimes I just can't read it if that makes sense but THAT is NOT your issue it is MINE, I am just to sensitive! LOL). Many times I don't comment, not because I don't care or didn't read it but because it is hard to know what to say and you can only say the same thing of "I am so sorry" before it feels trite, as you well know I AM sorry ANY parent has to face this or any disease with thier little people. As far as the amount; well you have to do what YOU are comfy with, if this is how you cope by giving back and giving hope to someone else well then that is what you do. Just make sure that you don't hold on to it too much/so much that it effects your Princess and the wonderful life she has ahead of her. (Does that make sense? I am not saying you are doing this, I am not sure what I am trying to say is being conveyed correctly so please don't be upset or hurt if it sounds wrong or mean or anything as it is NOT intended that way in the least! ) We all cope with tragidy differently and if this is how you deal with it then good for you, at least you are trying to make some good come out of it, which is more then many of us can say for tough situations that life throws at us. In the end girl this is YOUR blog and you keep on keeping on with your bad self! Besides as long as you share picts... I'll keep coming back... They are the cutest! LOL

Ok, I am getting off my soapbox, I actually came across a similar situation recently so I am a bit sensitive to this topic.

Anyways, happy Monday to you!

Hugs- T

T - I completely understand your point and no, I don't get upset by what you said. I appreciate the feedback.

I will pick up the posting again. I like to write, but for some reason I hadn't had the chance. =)

I try not to let it consume my life, but on the other hand, I see so many of these kids suffer and I would love to see pediatric cancer brought into the light of media. I guess it's because no one wants to think that kids get sick too. I mean, the media has to realize it otherwise there wouldn't be organizations like Make-A-Wish around. It is truly gut wrenching to see what some of these parents go through, and we didn't go through half of what some of they did. Isabella was a trooper and I would love for her to get involved as well when she gets older. Being a long term survivor herself, can bring A LOT of hope to other kids. I would by no means force her to do anything she didn't want to. If she decides to go that route, AWESOME! If she doesn't, well that will be perfectly fine as well. I love her to death and really the only time I think about the fact that she had cancer when we are together is if she says something hurts like her legs. We have to keep track of things like that for when she has her oncology visits. Other than that, she is a normal 3.....oops almost 4 year old. =)

Oh yeah, yes that is a boxer. He is too funny!

Thank you about my father. I miss him so very much and it is very hard for me to think that he is gone. (starting to get teary eyed just saying this little about him) ;o) He was a wonderful dad and I hate the fact that he doesn't get to see his grandchildren grow up. That's the part that hurts the most. He was so eager to hold Isabella when she was only a couple months old. It breaks my heart that they won't get to know him either. Like I said... I just try not to think about it and one of these days I will come to grips with the fact that he's gone. ;o)

also, I will try not to be such a downer with my blog! I will post good stories as well.

Luv ya!

ROTFL... you are not a downer!!!!!

Sigh- I know what you mean about your dad. I feel that way about mine too. I got terriably upset the night before Joci turned two, I was thinking back about where I was that night two years ago (do you do this? I don't know why but on her birthdays about two days before I "remember"; I was in labor for two and a half days! LOL). Anyways, it got me to thinking about how he wouldn't LEAVE me and how excited he was to have a grandbaby and how he LOVED to play with her and now... well he doesn't even know how to interact with her let alone play with her. He was her favorite person and now, well, he is hard to play with and love on like he was so.... I don't know it just breaks my heart and is hard to watch. The dad I had is just a ghost now and I miss him... great now I am all crying! LOL Sigh... what do you do though, life goes on.

Don't you LOVE boxers????? They are the best family dogs. I swear Joci could beat the snot out of our dogs and they take it... ok well the male, my female has an anxiety disorder I think but they both love her. My female kind of stays a way a bit more (seriously this dog is sensitive, if you argue in front of her she runs and hides under the bed... we have never beat her and she came as a puppy from my girlfriend and I know they never beat her but you would seriously think she came from an abusive home the way she reacts, it is odd a few of her puppies were the exact same way)but my male will seriously let her ride him, pull his ears etc and he just lays there. She adores him, we have to keep her back from him because she will hurt him and he just takes it. I am not sure I would have another dog, they just are so good with her and very protective. I think my female thinks she is one of her puppies because ever since we brought her home if anyone comes close to Joci she gets PISSED, not only that she will keep her off the stairs etc.(no joke, one time Joci got to close and started to fall I watched that dog jump infront of her and push her back, when Joci grabbed her neck to hold on, she brought her back up the stairs. It was one of those situations where you see her JUST as she starts to fall and you are too far away and your heart goes into your throat becuase you can do nothing but that dog was there! If she is upset or hurt we have to keep my female off her or she will lick her to death) It is the oddest thing. Anyways, they are great dogs... and they ARE hysterically funny. I love their expressions they get and the stuff they do... unless they find something I love and are chewing it! LOL
