Dear Nanny
Dear Nanny,
The day is October 19th of the year two thousand and eleven
It has been 14 years since you were taken away
You joined PawPaw and now live in heaven
As I miss you terribly with each passing day.
Your coffee drinking partner is now a sophomore in high school and is fifteen
Your little dark haired angel is fourteen and now a freshman
Though it's been a while now, I still share your memory
not only with them but anyone I meet, the best I can.
You were a one of a kind treasure that will forever be missed.
Your gentle caring soul was a beacon of light.
You touched everyone's heart with every hug and kiss.
In many ways, I try to be like you with all of my might.
As the days and years pass by,
It's hard to realize that you are not really here.
So I know that it's OK to cry
because they are not sad but happy tears.
Though you are in heaven and we are apart
you are not really gone.
Your memory lives in our hearts
and I know I am not alone.
I feel your presence when I feel blue
and when times are tough.
There will only be one of you
You are a part of me so that's enough.
My children are growing up so very fast
that one day they will be grown and gone.
Your love for them is not in the past
because you are watching over them from your heavenly home.
I want to say Thank You Nanny
for loving me, my husband, my daughter and my son.
You will always be a part of them and me
in our heart you are still number one.
So on this 19th day of October in this year twenty eleven
I am loving and remembering you.
Even though we are on earth and you are in heaven
I know you are with us in our life in all we do.
Although I am missing you with all my heart and soul
the memories we shared can never be taken away.
YOU will forever be with me where ever I go
that is why I am writing this to you today.

This morning I was speaking to a friend of mine from way back when. I had asked some of them to review/critique something that I had written. While speaking over the computer with her, I was listening to COAT OF MANY COLORS from DOLLY PARTON. THis song means so much to me so i had to write my own version (persay) PLEASE VISIT: Seed of Memories and read what was written......
Though back when we first moved to this town, we had no maney and did not wear the finest of clothes. MY GOD sent MY FMAILY here for what reason, only he knows.
So in the year two-thousand and twelve, on this 20th day of November.
I am sending LOVE & GRACE out for all to REMEMBER

A POLICE CRUISER?? REALLY?
what do you think about the NEW POLICE CRUISER that was bought for OUR SCHOOL?? Here we are needing MONEY for OUR SCHOOLS and THEY can go buy a POLICE CRUISER??
seen this today when I got MY LOCAL NEWSPAPER: ( not putting the name of the paper nor the person's name who wrote the letter. But if needed I WILL AND CAN DO IT)
To the Editor:
Two years ago I took my grandchild to enroll in our local Junior High school. I was surprised at the condition of the building. Although it was clean and maintained, it seemed so ols, small and cramped. Orientation was held in the cafeteria which was small, dull and uninviting. Utilitarian was the best word to describe it. Not all 6th graders and parents were there, but we almost filled up the room. I wondered how this could function for the entire school (6th, 7th and 8th grades). The first timet ath I looked out the back of the main building, I was shocked at the view. There were many portable buildings and walkways. I don't mean to be direspectful, but my first thought was this looks like a slipshod, thrown together conglomeration. I know manufacturers build those portable buildings with a life expectancy of a certain number of years. SOme of these looked really OLD.
My next thoughts turned to safety. Was there dangerous, deadly mold? Was there asbestos? I do not know if these exist but that is what I thought about. In my opinion, schools should use prtable builings short term as a temporary classroom while they prepare a more permanent, better solution. These buildings looked like they had been there a really long time. honestly I wasn't comfortable leaving my deat grandchild in this facility. Since it is the only 6th grade here in our time, I had to leave her there.
In spite of the conditins, the staff was pleasant, gracious and very supportive. They worked well with my grandchild and taught her well.
When I read in our local paper that a COMMUNITY COMMITTE was needed to look at the facilities and give their opinion about what needed to be done to improve our SCHOOLS, I noted the date and time and attended the meeting. I expected that room to be overflowing with interested people. Shockingly, only a few people have attended any of the meetings.
I have read stories of people going out of their way to help an injured animal, but I haven't seen people (in this instance) willing to help OUR CHILDREN have better SCHOOLS. REAPAIR, RENOVATE, REBUILD?? Somebody needs to make the decision. THe best decision can be made with a diverse group of people who can see the problems and solutions from many different perspectives.
The challenge here for our town is for OUR CITIZENS to HELP OUR CHILDREN, which HELPS OUR TOWN. CONTACT SCHOOL EMPLOYEES, LOOK AROUND and GET INVOLVED.
Some of US don't have SHILDREN in SCHOOLnow. THAT IS NO EXCUSE NOT TO WANT BETTER FOR THE CURRENT AND FUTURE STUDENTS OF OUR TOWN.
(am not putting names of the school nor of the people who commented but this is what I got in response to asking this QUESTION:
what do you think about the NEW POLICE CRUISER that was bought for OUR SCHOOL?? Here we are needing MONEY for OUR SCHOOLS and THEY can go buy a POLICE CRUISER?? )
1.seen it YESTERDAY not starting or causing DRAMA but had to ask bc I know there are others out there who think the same way as me
2. let me research it
3..You have GOT to be kidding me???? This is insane! Our school, particularly the Jr. High, are in serious need of repairs, and they buy a police cruiser to sit on campus??
I still don't understand why we need a cop on campus full time? Are there really that many problem? I mean, an occasional fight is going to happen, but when is the last time something bad enough happened that we needed a cop? My school that I teach at always had one on campus, but they utilized city and county police...this is just nuts!
4. I saw it to yesterday also...I completely agree. Why does he need a police cruiser? Like is he gonna arrest a student and take them to HS Jail? Why cant they just call the County to come pick up a problem student like always..and who really takes him that serious anyway? Huge waste of tax money in my opinion. But they're welcome to keep him around to control traffic and be seen walking around on campus all they want...I just think the car is a bit much.
Now, they try to tell me that BULLYING isn't an ISSUE at OUR SCHOOL. Yet, I know difderent. Not only has my child been BULLIED but I know of many others who have been. (Is that why they need the cruiser?) They do NOTHING about the DRUGS at the school either (Yes, DRUGS are there. I have heard from quite a few students who have told me about some studetns who have tried to sell them things, shown them things and such) When I was in school, we didn't have nor did we need campus security nor did we need a COP?? Why do they need one now if they are not doing the job they are paid to do??
So my QUESTION: WHY DO YOU NEED A POLICE CRUISER WHEN there's NOTHING GOING ON??? WHY WASN"T THAT MONEY SPENT ON THE THINGS THAT REALLY NEED TO BE FIXED/REPAIRED?? It's not like OUR SCHOOL is some BIG RICH DISTRICT because it's not...............

YOU DON't have the right.....
YOU DON't have the right to be RUDE or CUSS to fit in. YOU have to be KIND to make new friends. YOU DON't have the right to be a BULLY to ANYONE at all.That isn't the way to be an ADULT and to STAND TALL. YOU DON't have the right to say things you SHOULDN't say. That is not the right thing to do in order to live another day. YOU DON't have the right to think or act like you are better than anyone. Only GOD can judge us and the only perfect thing was JESUS, his begotten SON. Under GOD's eyes we should be nice and mindful of others. For in his KINGDOM in HEAVEN we all are SISTERS and BROTHERS. So the next time YOU start to say or do something YOU SHOULDN't do. I would ALWAYS REMEMBER that GOD ALWAYS and FOREVER has HIS EYES on YOU. THe next time YOU want to be UNKIND or be a BULLY, GOD's the one YOU have to WORRY about, NOT LITTLE OL' ME. It is time to come together as a NTION UNDER GOD and LIVE AS ONE. FOR ONE DAY YOu have to answer to GOD when HE asks: "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" Before that day comes and the time is 2 L8, IT's up to US NOW to TEACH the FUTURE and STOP H8!!!!! AMEN

STOP H8 B4 it's tooo L8
I have a way with words as do both of my children. At times this is the only way that we can get our hearts a- healin'. I found ou that a friend of my child's cousin went to our school for a few days and now he's being home schooled. The kids up there picked on them because they were GAY and ALL THESE kids are just FOOLS.Last night, after watching a show about a young man that was in college that had commited suicide becasue he was bullied for he was gay, MY ELDEST came to me with this poem and this is what he had to say. IT"S UP TO US THE FUTURE TO STOP ALL THE HATE.....IT NEEDS TO BEGIN NOW BEFORE IT's TOOOOOO LATE:
What's wrong with the world,
and why is it full of hate?
Why do we do we treat people like shit,
to the point that thy break?
It breaks my heart ,
...knowing that lives are lost.
And people think its funny,
not thinking of the cost.
The cost is so great,
i don't know if the understand.
That the way you treat people,
puts their lives in your hands.
And if they do know that,
then they just don't care.
Because someone else's life is lost,
and the still have theirs.
So they leave mothers to cry,
Because their sons want to die.
And fathers at their knees,
holding a note saying good-bye.
They leave holes in hearts,
that will never be filled.
Because of their hatred,
and words that kill.
To anyone going through this,
do not give up.
Because you are loved,
and will be missed.
And to the families,
who have experienced this loss.
I promise to stop this hating,
at whatever the cost.

MEMORIES
How tall was she, I think SHE was little only 5 foot tall? It's been 15 years since I have seen her it's hard to recall. Yet, like this tree she left behind some kind of legacy. I AM GRATEFUL TO BE PART OF HER FAMILY SEED!!!!
MOTHER NATURE is such a beautiful LADY...WE should all treasure the PEACEFULLNESS SHE brings....Lately I have been thinking about myPAWPAW & NANNY Then I find a DIME and I realize I was BLESSED to have PART OF HER IN ME!!!!!! this PICTURE reminds me of her
SHE LOVED FIERCELY and HER FAMILY WITH ALL HER MIGHT!!!!! SHE MIGHT HAVE BEEN LITTLE BUT SHE WOULD MAKE YOU TAKE FLIGHT!!!!!!MY MOTHER NATURE taught me to LOVE and be ME. Not how others thought I SHOULD BE!!!
I was taught from the time I was a baby. I AM NOT ONLY A WOMAN BUT A LADY!!! Yes, I do falter and some times I am wrong.Yet, I treat others as WE ALL SHOULD ALL LONG.........
being WRITTEN by your Grand Daughter who will always think you can walk on water. I guess there were some who left made a big mistake of thinking SHE WOULD BE HERE FOREVER..........I am ONLY ONE but NOT ALONE. My finest day is yet to come.
I AM HAVING MY " ONE MOMENT IN TIME" TO SHOW YOU HOW MUCH THAT YOU I LOVED AND WAS GREATFUL YOU WERE IN MINE!!!!
EVEN THOUGH THERE ISN'T ONE, I'LL TALK TO YOU ANYWAY
YOU ARE FOREVER PLANTED IN MY SEED OF MEMORIES THAT NEVER FADE
PRAYING FOR US ALL!!!!!!!! in JESUS NAME
This was wrote: 5-30-2012
Today the world is moving at such a fast pace
The only way we are going to make it is to keep the FAITH
You have to have HOPE for things yet to come
You have to have BELIEF that GOD sent his only son
He sent JESUS to die for our sins and our souls
He knew about them all from the get go
Tonight I walked through some church doors
Not to SOCIALIZE but to LEARN ABOUT OUR LORD
For that YOUNG PERSON to have your feet propped on the back of that chair
Shows that you could care less to be there
YOU are showing you were not taught GRACE and MANNERS very well
YOU should be more respectful of this place we can tell
As we start off this night and sing
WE need to be THANKFUL for the BLESSINGS from GOD it brings
I PRAYED that tonight HE touched all that came
To GLORIFY HONOR and SING from YOUR HEART in JESUS' name
Tonight the YOUTH gace a cardboard testimony
To show how GOD's LOVE can CHANGE YOU & ME
I was lost and wasn't living right
Yet, GOD sent me and saved me by HIS GUIDING LIGHT
Even though I once was lost, I am found
For GOD would never let the DEVIL bring me down
Seek first the KINGDOM of GOD and HIS RIGHTOUSNESS and all things will be provided for you
Once You are FOUND and can NOW SEE there's nothing you cannot do
A FOLLOWER IN CHRIST is not perfect and does make mistakes
Yet, by BELIEVING and having FAITH can get you through Heaven's gates
When we met JESUS OUR LOVE for him did grow
WE ALL HAVE TESTIMONIES WE NEED TO SHARE and LET OTHERS KNOW
THE FUTURE GENERATIONS KNOWLEDGE THEY YEARN
It's TIME TO TEACH THEM OUR LESSONS LEARNED
When they were told SANDY was coming their way
Some people left but MILLIONS of people decided to stay
From the STORMS that HIT THE SOUTHEAST part of the USA like IKE
You would have thought they would have done realized
So for YOU ALL I AM GOING TO PRAY for that time is over
EVERYONE is going to need a HELPING HAND or a CRYING SHOULDER
I AM HERE TO CHANGE YOUR SMILE FROM A FROWN
