Taunya I can't believe it has been 10 yrs!



Today as I remember you I thought I'd share some of your many faces!


Classic Taunya looks!



I can't believe this year marks 10 years that you have been gone!




I never even knew what Leukemia was before you got sick and by the time we had the transplant I felt like I could be a nurse. Ok except for the whole fear of needles thing that is...


Because of you I am always aware how precious life is and I cherish it more and try to make every moment count!


Being 1 of your care givers I learned what courage and faith you had. I watched you endure things that I said to myself I could never do that.



Only you could watch a horror movie that took place in a hospital and be in a hospital!



I still have your voice mails you left me that last month. I taped them and I play them just so I can hear your voice.


I read your journals and I realized I need to make sure I didn't just write when I was feeling down but I needed to write when life was good also!


We sometimes forget how little your kids were when you died. 4,3 & 2.


We would listen to your song and cry. We would go to your grave and put flowers on it and talk about you. Like I did today!


I hope you know I love you amd miss you!


Now we are just 10 yrs closer to that sweet reunion!

Something FUN to TRY

So this weekend was LABOR DAY weekend!! I hope everyone had a FuN and sAFe weekend. My In-laws told us about something they would like to try for a Family Reunion and I thought I'd share it with you because so many of you are CRAFTY people and do such FUN things with your kids and families all of the time!

So here it is
*Get a WHITE TEE SHIRT and stretch it over a something so that you can write and draw on it.
*USE PERMANENT COLORED MARKERS
*Get an eye dropper and fill it with RUBBING ALCOHOL and drop it on the tee shirt art and it blurs it a little bit and gives it a tye dye type of look....          *and then let it dry. 
It sounds COOL! If you decide to try it let me know.
