HAPPY THANKSGIVING NAN

On Nov 18th, tonight at 1109pm, my grandmother Betty was dead 20 years. I can't believe it has been that long since she walked this earth. But yet I can not believe its only 20 years that she is gone since it feels like a lifetime. I always wonder what would life be like if she never had that stroke. I still believe it is the hospitals fault and they should have caught on to more then one mistake made since her hip surgery. But I wont leave this sad I will just remember the following she always taught me:
1. Breathe in the future, breathe out the past.
2. Life CAN be simple again.
3. Let others take you as you are, or not at all.
4. You are not who you used to be, and that’s OK.
5. Everything that happens helps you grow, even if it’s hard to see right now.
6. Do not educate yourself to be rich, educate yourself to be happy. (THAT I DID NOT AGREE WITH)
7. Be determined to be positive.
8. Pay close attention to those you care about.
9. Sometimes you have to let a person go so they can grow.
10. Sometimes getting the results you crave means stripping yourself of people that don’t serve your best interests.
11. It’s better to look back on life and say, “I can’t believe I did that,” than to look back and say, “I wish I did that.” (SHE DIDNT THINK THAT THE FIRST TIME SHE SEEN ME AFTER TOO MANY DRINKS)
12. If you’re looking for a happy ending and can’t seem to find one, maybe it’s time to start looking for a new beginning.
I guess its why I love drinking tea so much. We used to talk about everything and there are certain things (above) she would say, I never thought about really till she was gone. She was right. She didnt even realize she was giving me some of the best advice just having tea.

Mom Today makes it 20 years since you went away.
I wish I could take back every pain and worry that I ever gave you. I wish that I could just undo, all the moments that made you blue. I miss you mom. I love you mom.

Mom Happy 77th Anniversary
Not a day goes by when I don't think about you.
I miss you. I love you.
I thank God that I was blessed to be your daughter.
Thank you for every thing that you had done & taught me. 
Love you so much.

Mom.  Missing you this 4th of July.

You're in our thoughts each and every day
To us you mean the world
You filled our lives with so much laughter
And touched our hearts with your love
Leaving a life time of love behind you
And a hole in our lives that only you could fill
So very special in every way
One in a million with a heart of gold
Gone but you will never be forgotten
Missed so much
And loved more than words can say
