Stephanie, Tonyal with Grandma Rose: WE LOVE YOU GRAMMIE:-)
Do you have part of a family who you just don’t talk to? The reasons, well I’m sure they were good ones, but really life is so short. We all have family members that sometimes we just don’t know very well. I am one of these people. I have a huge family; I’m blessed with a wonderful mother, two great dads and a nana. (I don’t like the word step mom) Countless, cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. This is something I believe I take for granted. Well, when I went up north I saw my aunt and cousin who I haven’t seen in years. I’m 35 years old, old enough to know I’ve made so many mistakes in my life, I for one have no right to judge. This word is a strong and deadly word, “JUDGE.” So many of us live everyday life, looking and acting like we are better than the next person. I only speak for myself, but I try my hardest every day not to lay judgment on someone. The past has hunted me and when I found the Lord Jesus, he forgave me for my many, many, many sins. The judgments I had against others, the way I would think I knew better and yes do better than most. This is where two important people come into my life, I judged. For no other reason than to Judge, I’m a mother of three beautiful children. I know I make mistakes every day. There are times when I look at myself and say I hope my kids don’t remember that. But they might and they might judge me. I pray and ask them for forgiveness, because I want to raise them to remember we are human and we make mistakes. We are not better than anyone else. We should stand tall and be proud of who we are. But don’t forget to be the first person to be a judge against yourself. My point is four very long years went by not seeing my grandma because I had judged.
You need to just left it go; let the past be the past. Family is too important. Needless to say, because this family let go of the past we came together and we came together to meet more family.I met three of my second cousins. My children met not only three cousins, but a second cousin and a aunt. This was pretty cool. To look at these kids and know they can become friends instead of strangers who live up north. Sometimes you just need to let things go, and take baby steps and just maybe be the one who says, “sorry.”

Grandma Rose
The day before Christmas we received a phone call my grandma, (grammie) had a heart attack. I haven’t seen my grandma in four very long years. This is a woman who was a big part of my life growing up. I really don’t remember her not living with us. Coming home from school grandma always had a snack ready and something good cooking on the stove. When the rest of my friends were looking for apartments and living with friends, I wanted my grandma to be my roommate. She was/is always a big part of my life. Chason my little man hadn’t met his great grandma. So when I received this terrible news I wanted to rush out the door. I didn’t want someone this important in my life not be part of my child life. Within 24 hours the doctors sent her home and we made plans to spend time together this summer. Well, she went home and had another heart attack. We packed our stuff and out the door driving 30 hours north with our three children. Grandma did make it after several heart attacks. Her lungs have basically given up on her. She’s now on oxygen and her body is slowly disappearing. The doctors for as long as I can remember have told her she wasn’t strong enough for surgery. So there’s no attack they can take on her. Our family got to spend less than 24 hours with my grandma. I pray this woman who has outlived many doctors saying she doesn’t have a chance lives another miracle of not having any surgery till this summer. These past couple of years I have lost many important people in my life, its heart breaking, it sad but at the same time it’s happiness. I will one day be with my loved one again, but not on this place called earth. Remember the people who helped mold you into who you are as a person and don’t’ let time get in your way. I love you grammie, and I’m glad I had the chance to hold you one more time and my babies saw a women who I love dearly. Keep healthy and pray every night to get stronger

DISNEY for Christmas
For Christmas my dad R. give our family the coolest present. DISNEY PASSES!!!! So we gave the kids a day at the park for Christmas. We had a blast. We started at Epcot and toured the countries. We also visited Nemo clams. Next we skipped over to Animal Kingdom, we were sad to remember that the safari closed at 4:30. We still had fun riding the Dinosaur ride and were scared out of our pants when Rex almost ate Canyon. Last we headed over to Magic Kingdom. We saw some of the fireworks; the beautiful castle lit up and rode a couple of rides. All time favorite is BUZZ. Thank You Dad R. for a pretty cool gift that our family can use year round. Now come visit so you can join the fun
