I Love our sons!

I just wanna express how proud I am of our boys. 

Bradley, the eldist, makes us proud by being a hard worker, a family man and a Godly man  and is involved in his church, and has proven to be a caring husband.  Miss you lots Bradley!

Michael, the youngest, has just made section leader for the euphonium section of the band, is very talented and will also be sucessful.  He is a Godly young man and also is involved in his church. We are proud of who he is too.

BOTH HAVE A HEART OF GOLD!

Their brotherhood is unbreakable and a joy for us to see.

What a blessing you guys are!  I love you guys!

Just sayin!

I love you more!

"I love you mommy" he said.  "I love you more" said I.
So on we challenged with love and game, and on did the years go by.

Toddler became an adolescent and adolescent became the teen.
Patience, understanding and sacrifice were harder than it had seemed.

 But what a special blessing each year that brought some pain;
along with that came lessons not only to him, but to myself did gain.

I learned a lot about myself, that I had never known.
I learned that I had convictions and that I had seeds to sow.

In keeping with my convinctions I found myself on rocky a turrain,
That is with him who did not understand the reasonings and believed all I said  was lame.

But I will be strong in my convictions and my voice shall continue to be heard;
no matter if he thinks unfair, wild, crazy or absurd.

Because the truth of the matter, and this is indeed the score...
The truth is I will be there if you fall, and as always, I love you more!

Mothers

Mothers are as total as the sky;
Older than the earth, and more enduring.
They're rooted in our hearts like ancient trees,
Halfway down to seething lava seas;
Emblazoned on our sail, and on our mooring.
Returning home, we dwell within their sigh:
So maddening, so rich, so reassuring.
