A Thank You To My Family and Friends

I have been very blessed in my life to have a wonderful family and wonderful friends.  I am an adopted child and I was never made to feel like the "adopted child", just a daughter, sister, neice and friend.  I believe that God showed me the greatest love and compassion by placing me in their loving care. This page is to thank them all and to show the world just how wonderful they are!

Friends
A Gift From God Above
A way to Touch Us With His Love
Cherish Them with All Your Heart
There Grace will Hold Though Every Bit of the Bad
They Protect you from the Start and Help You When You are Sad.
They Smile and Care
They Work With You and Always Share
Thank you Shelley, For All You Do
Friends, Always a Friend to the End

Daddy
My Father is a very wise man
Who shares and gives to all
He worked each day with a smile and
Taught me the all he could.  
He told "punny" jokes, and laughed with me,
Each day was an adventure.  
No matter how awful I was, he let me know he loved me
I thank God each day for him and pray that he will always be here.
You see this wonderful man did not have to love me, he chose too!
He would always say
" you may not of come from below our hearts,
You see you were born in them"
Thank you Dad for everything
It is a debt I can never repay.
Your love has guided me all my life
and helped me in every way

How can I put into words,
The LOVE and TRUST I receive from you

You have loved me and even more
you have loved my children and made them
your own.  You truely are a special man.
The rarest of them all.  You are what makes our
house a home, and my life worth living
Thank you Jim for chosing me to be your wife.

Laura
You are the oldest child.
You stuggled and fought so hard
to be your own person, not someone who
followed but led.  You had that will as a
baby and pushed the limit everyday.  This
strenth has helped you too succeed and find
your special way.  You will never know how much
your loved, or truely understand.  How wonderful it
felt the first time I touched your hand.  Your precious
little face I saw so sweet and peaceful.  I knew right then
that I had found what my mother had ment.  That someday
I would understand, how a mother feels when she holds her babys hand.

Miles
Strong, Athletic
loving young man
Caring and yet afraid
to truely see all you are
I wish you could see you
through my eyes.  The mystery
you hold.  You have a light that shines so bright
and gives so much to others.  You must remember
to share some of that love with yourself too.  You are
a gift in my life.  One that can never be replaced,
You will always be my little boy, with that magic in
your face

Happiness
Smiling, Laughing
Sometimes tears.
Happiness brings these
to you through the years.
Isn't it amazing, How as we age
We find.  That happiness is what we
see and remember most of the time. I remember
struggles and I remember grief, but most of all
I guess I made the choice, It's happiness for me.
