OMgosh, this family of mine has so much going on, most of it good.
Will tell you about a few, if not it would take several pages LOL!
My mom – is still living on the Big island of Hawaii under the care of my
sister and brothers. It is a day by day thing because she recently became
borderline bi-polar (slow course over the past two years). In short, she
cannot live alone, needs supervision.
Prior to the two years, she was a very active and dynamic woman in her
late 60’s, and though that same “person†is not likely to come back fully,
At least we still have her and she is being taken care of. In a strange way,
her situation has brought out the best in my siblings and others around them.
Perhaps that is a “final gift†of sorts, if you will.
Next, daughter Lian is expecting her third bio child! She has my 12- and 4-year
old bio granddaughters, and the 5 adopted grandchildren.
Even though she’ll be 35 this year and this is a TOTAL surprise baby,
they are ecstatic that she and Ed may finally have a biological son.
Another girl would be okay too LOL! Now this will bring my total to 13 grands.
Lastly, my youngest child Kelsey, nearly 18 and just graduated and now
working full-time --last week with our blessings, she got Married.
Yeppers!! She and sweet army guy Robb (age 21) have been so in love
that they wanted to get married BEFORE he deploys to Iraq in September,
a mere two months away! Apparently, across the nation thousands of
young couples are doing this before the servicemember deploys.
This way, she gets all the military benefits, and should the worst happen
in the Middle East, she will be taken care of. And many of the benefits
will extend to us, hehehe…...
They already have a house on base, via a miracle because you usually
have to wait. It is huge!
They will not have to buy much because everyone is giving them a lot,
from china and crystal from me, to furniture and whatever else that goes
into a first home from my older kids, our other relatives and from their
military friends who wanted to help. Older military friends that already
are established with families and so forth have been reaching out to them.
I am in humble awe, because so much has fallen into place for Kelsey and Robb,
much more than I am writing here. What everyone has been doing for them,
has been part of the answer to our continued prayers for so young a couple.
Though we had very sick family members back in April to include myself,
life continues to bring so much Joy!
Big Hugs to all!

I agree Mare, gives them 6 more weeks than what
they told him last month.
This will be his 2nd tour. He was there in the
early months of 2007 for a few months. He said
it made him grow up a little faster, though he is
just 21.
Kelsey, its been fun helping her learn how to keep
a home. Her sisters and I have been teaching her how
to cook. Her military wife friends have been
sharing their skills as well. And Robb enjoys
cooking and grilling.
I so remember that age!
Hugs,
~*~ Happy Holiday Weekend!!.... ~*~

Bernie, I thank you so much!
She is going through so many "firsts" that it would
be mind-boggling, but she has a great attitude and
wants to learn more.
She said she is having so much fun and has never felt
so happy in her life; probably because she does not
have us on her back 24/7 like before too LOL!!
I cannot thank enough, her military friends who have
helped in so many ways without her asking. I will
bring them goodies again on Sunday to thank them. :)
Hugs,
