Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Although, we sometimes feel how can we be thankful when we have lost our children, we have so much to be thankful for. Our children may not be with us here on earth but we do have all of the precious memories of their existence. Hang on to those memories. That is something that can’t be taken away.
We have others around us, whether it be family or friends or both to be thankful for. Even if they are far away, they are only a phone call away.
This beautiful earth that God made with the plants and flowers, and all of His creation is something to be grateful for.
I could give on and on. This is only a grain of sand to be thankful for. Look around and inside and find things to be thankful for. Be a blessing to someone. That is something to be thankful for and for the person you bless.
Thinking of all of you this Thanksgiving. ❤️

Hello everyone! It’s summertime already. I hope everyone has been able to enjoy the weather some. Sometimes it’s hard to enjoy things when our children that were taken away from us are not with us; but it is possible. When we do things that our children are missing out on or enjoying life, we are not forgetting them we are honoring them. We are enjoying life for them just as if they were here because they are never out of our minds.
So tell us what you have been doing to honor your children. We just got back from the beach enjoying time with our two youngest grandchildren. ☺️

Thank you ❤️🇺🇸

A Dozen Roses
By Alan Pedersen

If I had a dozen roses,
I know just what I’d do
I’d give each one a name
That reminded me of you

The first rose I’d call sunshine,
Cause you brighten everyday
The second would be beauty,
The kind that never goes away

The third rose would be priceless,
Like those hugs you gave to me
I’d name the fourth rose silly
Oh how funny you could be

Rose five of course is patience,
Something you have helped me find
The sixth rose would be memories,
Those gifts you left behind

The seventh and the eighth rose
Would for sure be faith and grace
Nine would be unique
Because no one can take your place

The tenth rose well that’s easy,
I’d simply name it love
Eleven would be angel,
I know you’re watching from above

I’d think about that twelfth rose
And really take my time
After all these roses
Are for you my Valentine

I’m sending them to heaven
In every color that I know
So twelve I’ll name forever
That’s how long I’ll love you so
