R.I.P Mary Jane 7/31/10

Mary Jane~

Our Dog Mary had to be put to sleep today... She has had continues hip and leg issues and in the past 3 months lost total control over one of her legs and feet. Short version she began trying to rid herself of the foot and needed to pass on because of the mind set.

Rick has had Mary for 12, almost 13 yrs and is in real and total shock at the loss of his best friend. Mickenzie understands and is glad she isn't hurting now, Mickenna asks "we're Mary?" and my dog Lilly is confused on where her friend is :-(

Mary Is a GREAT Dog...Sweet and Gentle, Loving and Loyal. She was part of our family and always will be. We will all miss you bundles, Mary.

XOXO

Life, Family and Time

This is because I can't be with you everyday- Becasue we all have our on lives to live and Becasue we all need to remember we are bound together. On a journey that may lead us all in different direction only to end at the same place. Besides houses and cars and cloths and jobs and school and work and bills and , and , and ~all we have, all that is really important each other, is Family.

Life really is short~ I have learned that. We really don't have all the time we think we do. It can really come down to now or never.... I have lost 4 Very important people to me in the last 7 years. Some I could deal with better than others, some that were ready and that had lived long lives- others that I still cant belive wont be calling me in the next 5 min to ask if I heard what so and so has done now or if I have finally read that books she said is the steamist bestist book ever...

I just want to live my life knowing I made the effort. I have tried. I reached out and have done what I can consider the best I could do. So that I have no regrets, no only if I's or I could haves'!

I believe in following my own heart, not the worries, fears or opinion of others. I have to do what I believe is best for me, for my heart and my soul.

I don't wana!

I don't want to EVER tell my children, "sorry, I was to scared or rapped up in my own world to reach out to that Auntie or Grama or whom ever, when I had the chance." I don't want to tell them " I'm sorry for my mistake, but they aren't around anymore for US to get to know." because it will be an US not an I. It's not about just our selves, it's about our children. I am here, I am ready and I won't be the one to crush mine and my children’s chance at more people to rely on, more love in their lives, or more family to embraces them.
