Missing my boy...

Well its been a week ... and I miss him terribly!! We haven't been without a puppy in 25 years.. it sure is very different.. but I remain thankful for the wonderful memories... and special times we shared that will live forever in my heart..

Its difficult... just hanging around the house each day... I look around... for fur on the carpet...barking constantly at noises and geckos.. Its just really hard to believe he's really gone.. there is an empty space EVERYWHERE.. I know in my heart that it was his time.. his little body couldn't really handle anymore.. so at least I know he's at peace .. probably hanging with our first Cocker Spaniel Norman hopefully sharing some snacks.  He was a wonderful companion and friend as well.. always giving unconditional love.  


2010 will forever be branded in my heart with the devastating losses I've experienced this year.  I'm terribly missing Nana as well.. she was always there to put a smile on my face.. and joy in my heart.  I know she's with Grandpa now .. and finally at peace.  You'll always be truly missed and loved!!!


Aloha & A Hui Hou!!!

I am STILL thankful.......

Rest in Peace our little buddy

We'll Love YOU ALWAYS....

March 22, 2002 - December 14, 2010

Although... this year will officially go down in history as the worse possible year... terrible economy, jobs hard to get, money being tight all over, people being TOTALLY NOT UNDERSTANDING, SELFISH, SELF CENTERED, sickness in the family, loved ones passing, and beloved furry friends passing on as well.... I am still thankful for the special times, memories... that will live on forever in my heart and mind... We ALL are going to miss our little buddy... he was a very special part of our family.

Is It Just Me???

Is It Just Me???? or are there alot of UNGRATEFUL PEOPLE OUT THERE IN THE WORLD!!! My goodness people!!!! WAKE UP and understand what you have and how rich your lives really are!!!  There are soooooo many people out there.. and I'm really afraid, or mostly really embarrassed to admit that some of these UNGRATEFUL people are relatives... but I am soooooo tired of, like my loving husband would say,
"taking one for the team" and being the one to say that I am sorry, or apologize or just plain, PRETEND LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED!!!   It really amazes me ... that some fairly intelligent people ... can lead their lives, go on everyday... literally with their head in the sand!!!

Are we really that stupid??

I mean really, I am truly amazed at peoples self centeredness, jealousy and ignorance.  It really makes me pray ALOT!!!

Unfortunately, these people are still apart of our lives,... we have to accept that .. but frankly ...

I DON'T LIKE THEM!!

I am truly grateful and thankful for the wonderful family I have been fortunate to be a part of ..... a wonderful, caring, loving husband

a great, smart, beautiful daughter...

and last but not least...

our boy

THUNDER!!!

I truly love my family... immediate and extended...

but I'm letting God handle the negative ones!! 

Aloha & A Hui Hou!!

Never Let Go Of Hope

We can never let go of HOPE..... there is ALWAYS HOPE... our hope goes deeper than any ocean.... and farther than any galaxy....  I just can't imagine going through my life without hope...  it really IS what keeps us going..each and every day. Where there is no light, no silver lining... no greener grass...no matter how bad, dark, and dismal things seem .. there is ALWAYS HOPE..

Aloha & A Hui Hou

"I'm THANKFUL for today......

I am thankful for today...  its the beginning of a new month... and ending of the year 2010... Wow, it has gone by fast in some ways... but in others it has seemed to take forever.........

It just seems sooooo weird.. that time seems to go so very quickly... along with my life, watching our children grow... times change... cities change... even more .. the world changing.... Sometimes.. I wish I could make these changes slow down a bit.. to enjoy them more.. but these changes that go on so quickly, the ones we would like to savor.. become memories... I like memories..sometimes these memories are the one thing that keeps me going.. even the not so nice memories.. they let me remember the things I've learned from them. 


 
I am truly thankful for each day... and the things I've learned.  They make me stronger in my faith and in myself... 

Aloha & A Hui Hou
