I finally got a few pics of my dad, thanks to my sister Denise.
My dad was 66 when he died. He had 4 children, a wife and 9 grandchildren and now 2 beautiful
granddaughters. He is from Baltimore, Maryland USA. My dad worked hard all his life. He worked two
jobs, just to support us. He nevered ask for anything in return. He passed away from complications
from diebeties. He was very proud of my sister Denise and my brother Don. Denise is a nurse, she was
been a nurse since the age of 17. Denise graduated high school and had been in nursing since then.
She and my brother, Don, both are hard workers like my dad. We all miss him so much. I can't wait to
see him again. One day we all will. We love you dad and always will.

BUTTERFLY WINGS

In a green meadow filled with Milkweed and flowers there lived a colony of
caterpillars. They were a happy colony, living a quiet life in the cool
shade. For many months they were very busy,
scurrying around and munching on the soft Milkweed leaves.

They did notice that every once in a while one of the colony seemed to lose
interest in crawling around with its friends. It would go off alone and
crawl high up in the trees. It gradually moved out of sight and was seen no
more.

“Look!” said one of the caterpillars to another, “one of our colony is
climbing up to the tops of the trees. Where do you think he is going?” Up,
up and up it slowly went…even as they watched, the caterpillar disappeared
from sight. Its friends waited and waited but it didn’t return.

“That’s funny!” said one caterpillar to another. “Wasn’t he happy here?”
asked another. “Where do you suppose he went ?” wondered a third. No one
had an answer. They were greatly puzzled.

Finally one of the caterpillars gathered its friends together. “I have an
idea. The next one of us who climbs to the tops of the trees must promise
to come back and tell us where he or she went and why.”
“We promise…” they all said solemnly.

One spring day not long after the caterpillar who had suggested the plan
found himself climbing high up into the trees. Up up and up he went, higher
and higher into the trees. Before he knew what was happening he had broken
through the canopy of leaves into the warm sunlight and fell into a deep
sleep.

When he awoke he looked about in surprise. He couldn’t believe what he saw.
A startling change had come over his old body. He now had beautiful wings!

Even as he struggled he felt an impulse to move his wings. The warmth of
the sun soon dried the moisture from his new body. He moved his wings again
and suddenly found himself flying into the blue sky.

He had become a butterfly. Swooping and dipping in great curves he flew
through the air. He felt exhilarated in the new atmosphere.
By and by the new butterfly landed on a leaf to rest. Then it was that he
chanced to look below to the bottom of the meadow. Why, he was right above
his old friends the caterpillars! There they were, crawling around and munching on Milkweed, just as he had been doing before.

Then the butterfly remembered his promise. Without thinking the butterfly
darted down. He landed on a flower and looked into the grass. Now that he
was a butterfly he could no longer go back.

“I can’t return!” he said in dismay. “At least I tried, but I can’t keep
my promise. Even if I could go back, not one of the caterpillars would know
me in my new body. I guess I’ll just have to wait until they become
butterflies too. Then they’ll understand what has happened to me and where
I went.”

And the butterfly winged off happily into its new world of sun and air.
Dear God, please remember those who have left the meadow we live in…and
remember us who are still here.

I would like to Thank you, from the bottom of my Heart for watching over my baby and my Dad, while I was gone. Had a really nice time with Samantha and lots of tears too. I really liked her. With all my love Gloria Anthony's Mom XOXO

Turn Back Time
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥

Oh dear God im hurting
I dont know what to do
Ive got no sunshine in my life
Everyday im feeling blue

♥***♥***♥***♥***♥

Ive got no strength inside me
Im feeling very weak
Some days when i am so sad
I just cant even speak

♥***♥***♥***♥***♥

I sit alone in silence
I wonder all the time
If i had magic powers
I would turn back time

♥***♥***♥***♥***♥

Id turn back time
And stop the clock
To the happy days with you
For there would be more sunshine
And no more feeling blue

♥***♥***♥***♥***♥

*★ܓ Why do we feel the way we do
*★ܓ Missing our angels like the way we do
*★ܓ Some days we hurt so much inside
*★ܓ All we want is our angels by our side

*★ܓ We know our angels are having fun
*★ܓ looking down laughing at us
*★ܓ thinking we should really know
*★ܓ how much they still love us so

*★ܓ But all we want is to hold there hand
*★ܓ And tell them we want them
*★ܓ On this earthly ground
*★ܓ How we know this can never be
*★ܓ As god took our angels
*★ܓ To his heavenly land

*★ܓ Our pain and hurt is so deep
*★ܓ How will our heart ever heal
*★ܓ How we hope you can hear us
*★ܓ each day and night
*★ܓ wishing you our beautiful angels

*★ܓ★* Goodnight *★ *★ܓ We love you oh so much

♥═══♥ Tears.♥═══♥

♥═══♥
Tears are delightful expressions
Of happiness, sorrow, and love,
Made to release deep emotions,
A special gift sent from above.
♥═══♥
When seeing sweet thoughts of a loved one
Midst memories of days of old,
A tear finds a cheek in the moonlight
As thoughts reach deep in the soul.
♥═══♥
In moments of anger, frustrations and grief,
When happy thoughts flee like a thief,
Running away with our hopes and our cares,
A tear brings welcome relief.
♥═══♥
If unwanted sorrow consumes us
And life seems so hard to bear,
With time a soul is healed,
Restored with the help of a tear.
♥═══♥
Sun and beauty bring health to the soul
Through all of the days of our lives,
Deepest feelings of thanks are expressed
Through tears which appear in our eyes.
♥═══♥
Be grateful for tears for their presence
Restores our most glorious thoughts
Of laughter, compassion and loving,
The most precious gifts of all.
♥═══♥
