Yesterday,my darling grandson Eddie turned 5!! a joyful day!!
tomorrow is Father's Day..to Eddie's sperm donor Ryan..fuck you! you are no father..just because you squirt sperm and make a baby does not make you a father. a father is someone who loves and cares for his child..who is there for good and bad,supportive emotionally and financially. these things you do not do. 
i was not born from my parents bodies..yet my mom and dad were ,and still are, the bar to which PARENTING is held..the "Mother Bar" and "Father Bar"....to which you do not,and I doubt will ever,come close to.
You do not deserve to breathe the same air any other true parent breathes. You are a waste of life. I pray you never reproduce again..you do not deserve to have any more children...you are not worthy. I will light a candle every day...say a prayer every day...and,you know my candle lighting has results. it may take a while...I will wait...until then, MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL,FOR I DO NOT!
To Titus and Amelia's sperm donor,Chad...ditto.Can you feel the candle burning? hot,isn't it!!!
Ahhhhhhhhh...now I feel better.
To all my friends....thanks for "listening"!

Oswald ..

My husband and I had to put our beloved Oswald down this morning. He went into heart failure. He joins his brother ,Otis. I know Otis met him and walked him over the Rainbow Bridge. Now,I need to be ready to help our grandchildren through this loss....especially Titus.
Oswald was almost 17 years old. So kind,a big heart. He "delivered " our cat's kittens..the mommy cat just "dropped them"..he chewed the sacs and licked them dry and slept in the Mommy box with the cat and kittens.  A wise ,loving dog. We will miss him so.

Happy Birthday Daddy.
my father..who loved me unconditionally,who showed me by example,what it meant to be a loving,caring and thoughtful person. I never heard him say a mean thing about anyone. He was the shining example of  what a husband , and father should be. Every man I met had to "meet" the bar he set. He was a Southern Gentleman to the core;his family was his life.
My mom always said " if you asked your father for a star in the sky,he would look for the tallest ladder to reach it". 
Well, Daddy..i wish there was a ladder tall enough to reach Heaven. I miss you..but I don't grieve...it is I who was left behind. you have Mom and Jan with you. You are where your heart went,the day Mom died. Happy Birthday Daddy!! Thank you for always believing in me,loving me and letting me make mistakes and being there to help "fix"them!!. I always felt loved,secure and safe. You were,and always will be,my hero.

It took me all day to be able to write this post. My father was quite simply the best. I was his daughter from the moment the adoption agency told him they had twin girls available. I can't remember a time that he ever raised his voice to me. He taught by example. I'm sure he was no saint..but in my eyes he was!!
I was blessed to be his daughter.
Until I take my last breath..i will forever be thankful that I was his daughter.
