You have a purpose here
You have life
Even when you don’t feel it
Think about it twice
Your meant to be here
To struggle and to fear
But in the end my dear
Your purpose is meant to be here

You may not fully understand
What is going on in your life
Feeling useless and hurt
No meaning of life
Those words in your head and in your heart
Are a constant battle putting up a fight
A continuous struggle of a tug and war
Showing your scars, girl there’s so much more

You are loved
Even when you don’t feel
Someone is out there trying to help you heal
I may not know you but I’m always here
To be the listening ear and support you my dear....

Sometimes the pieces fall into place
Even though I am no longer here to see your face
Embrace the moment, as I will be with you
As you embark on this new journey
Remember how proud I am of you
This is a big step in your career
Even though I’m far away, I am always near
In your heart, whispering in your ear, your guardian angel when you have a doubt of fear
I will always protect you in all you do
Listen for the loud roar from Heaven as I congratulate you
As you, my daughter, receive your pin of honor
I’ll be looking down from Heaven even more proud then before
Remember always...
      Stay Humble
           Stay Strong
                Stay You
As you continue to allow me to always watch over and protect you

Missy, I love you and miss you more then you know
But remember I am right next to you forever and always
As you start on your new life’s journey

                                           Love,
                                                 MOM

The other day I posted “Today’s Challenge “
Be the cause to brighten someone’s day...
Little did I know I would be the cause to shed light for someone that day...

A couple came to my restaurant to enjoy some lunch
But to our surprise it was more then just a meal
We all got to talking, it was their first time here
Their son was in ICU at the hospital down the street
Immediately we recognized who they were taking about
Their son and his fiancé were in a motorcycle accident
Unfortunately, she did not survive
He was flown to the hospital, he was more then just broken inside

His parents told us that all he wanted after his 4th surgery so far
That all he wanted was a burger from Red Robin but it was too far
So we decided we would make one for him here
As close to the burger he wanted from Red Robin

I said to our waitress  
“I would like to pay for their meal”
She responded “I would like to as well”
So my husband, the waitress and I
Chipped in together and pay for their entire meal

When Kim (the waitress) had gone out to their table and told them they were good to go
In such disbelief the woman said “that’s not necessary, no”
We insisted we would pay for them, it’s the least we could do
They couple broke down crying and were so grateful to us ( more then we knew)

The next day, the woman came back to get another burger for his son
She explained to us that he absolutely loved his food
Saying “it was the best **** burger he has ever had”
Even though it’s not on our menu
We made it for you
We have now dubbed it the “Jason Burger” just for you!

Even though it wasn’t much
We felt we did good
Bringing light to someone’s day
Even if it was in a little way
          

         Challenge accepted
             Challenge accomplished

Please keep Jason and his family in your prayers
His body is literally broken and so is his heart
When I wrote that challenge that morning
I didn’t know my closest friends and I would the ones to find light in a dark place and bring joy to their hearts

I will shed one tear on this “Mother’s Day”
     Since I will never become a mother

         I feel the pain of so many around the world
Who can’t become a “mother,” who want it so bad
                     One tear I will shed for you (and for me)
           In hopes we can find comfort for one day we’ll be happy

Some people who have kids
            Love them
Some people who have kids
         Can’t stand being a parent
Some people who have kids
            Don’t care about them
Some people who have kids
       Would do anything for them
Some people who have kids
       Shouldn’t be parents

I’m over here (as so many others)
        Wishing I have ONE kid.....

Please
STOP
No
Don’t do that
I want to
Not now!
Yes
PLEASE
Let me alone!
Should I?
Maybe?
I can’t!
STOOPPPP!!!!!

           With these voices in my head.....

Looking at me
I look healthy and fine
But you don’t understand the pain
I live with in the inside
The burning
The flare ups
The constant battle of pain
I wish I had a day without this battle
I would not take it in vane

Just because I look ok on the outside
Doesn’t mean I’m ok inside
But that doesn’t define me
I take the day and pain
One step at a time...

Life is made up of different colored lines
To represent different emotions we endure
The colored lines stay with their respective colors
Until they overlap each other
Showing how life intertwines depending on ones life pattern
Don’t be discouraged when your colors mix with one another
This just means life get crazy at times
But it shows your life patterns and ends up making a beautiful mixture of colors
Creating the end result of your journey through life
