The bravest people in the world are soldiers that fight in wars and their families they leave at home. I admire them so much because I know I could never do what they do everyday. The families supporting them and worrying endlessly about them are also my heroes! I can't even imagine their pain, anxiety and sacrifice. It is a huge deal for them to not have their family member home for over a year. It is not just the soldier that joins the service, but the entire family. TO ALL OF YOU...THANK YOU!!!
Then there are the ones that pay the ultimate price...there are no words for their sacrifice. THANK YOU.
Every soldier that comes home from a war has wounds, many are just not visible. They sacrificed so much for their country, and now they have lifetime wounds. They deserve the best medical care and the best therapy services and equipment available. The most powerful and most wealthy country has no problem sending them into war, but ignores their bravery and service when they come home. The only thing I can say about that is, I AM SORRY.
I PRAY FOR ALL OF THE SOLDIERS AND THEIR FAMILIES TO FIND PEACE WITHIN THEMSELVES.
THANK YOU TO ALL OUR TROOPS...PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE. MY HEROES!

MOTHER'S DAY
Yesterday was an awesome day! I was able to sleep really late and was woken up with my kiddos, puppies, hubby, and breakfast in bed. Seriously, what else could one ask for? I am one lucky Mommy!
The absolute best thing in life is being a mom. The amount of heartache and worry is overshadowed by the overwhelming amount of joy. I 'm so blessed that I am able to stay home with them and watch every step of their childhood. We may not have the biggest house, or the fanciest cars, but we do have a lot of love in our house. I thank God several times everyday for my family. My life is all about GRATITUDE not ATTITUDE.
So many times yesterday, I thought and prayed for the mothers whose children are fighting in the war. I prayed for all of the mothers on both sides of the war. They are still mothers...still humans. HUMANITY needs to make a comeback.
I also prayed for the childless mothers on Mother's Day. Being at the hospital so much with Garrett, I have seen some mothers have to leave without their children. There is truly no greater pain, than the pain of losing your child. My Me maw has lived for more than 50 years after she lost her son, and it still causes her unspeakable pain.
IF ALL MOTHERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD CAME TOGETHER, HUMANITY, PEACE, TOLERANCE AND ACCEPTANCE WOULD RULE THE WORLD.
A MOTHER WOULD NEVER SEND SOMEONE ELSE'S CHILD TO WAR.
A MOTHER WOULD STOP THE PAIN OF CHILDREN FELT AROUND THE WORLD.
ONE MOTHER WOULD HELP ANOTHER MOTHER FEED AND CARE FOR HER CHILD.
MOTHERS WOULD NEVER SELL THEIR CHILDREN TO GIVE THEM A "BETTER" LIFE WITHOUT A MAN DIRECTING HER TO DO SO.
A MOTHER WOULD GO TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH TO SAVE ONE CHILD THAT DOES NOT EVEN BELONG TO HER.
IF MOTHERS RULED THE WORLD, EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE AND SAFETY WOULD BE THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS...NOT OIL OR POWER.
IF MOTHERS RULED THE WORLD, BOYS WOULD GROW UP TO BE LOVING, CARING, GENTLE, NON-EGO MEN.
IF MOTHERS RULED THE WORLD....
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL OF THE MOTHERS THAT HAVE MOTHERED ME!!!!
