MY POEM FOR MOM

Barbara Lynn Masters

Who was the first one to care, the very first to know?
Who held me close inside her, kept me safe and warm?
Who calmed my fears when I was scared?
Who showed me the way that I should play?
Who rocked me hours at a time and didn't get to sleep?
Who cared if I was hungry?
Who cared if I was warm?
Who made sure that I did not come to any harm?
Who brought me to church each week keeping me strong?
Who loved me all the times when I went wrong?
Who loved me through my teenage years ?
Who held my hand so tight?
Who took away all my fears?
And taught me wrong from right?
It was you my Mother Dear and may I say today
I love you more than any words can possibly say

MAYBE I SHOULD GET ME A DOG NOW....

SADIE MARIE IS NOT MY DOG....HER HEART BELONGS TO RICK.  WHENEVER HE LEAVES TO GO TO WORK SHE SITS BY THE DOOR AND HOWLS.  I HAVE TO DISTRACT HER WITH KIBBLES TO MAKE HER HAPPY.

SHE GREETS HIM AT THE DOOR AND I SWEAR I HAVE NEVER SEEN A DOG WAG HER TAIL AS MUCH AS SADIE DOES WHEN SHE SEES HIM.

IF HE GETS UP TO LEAVE THE ROOM OFF SHE ROMPS AFTER HIM.

THIS GIRL CAN FLY DOWN THAT HALL.

I AM SO GLAD THEY HAVE BONDED SO WELL

HELLO

Hello to all of you my wonderful friends.  I am still here.  I have read all of your kind comments and could feel all the prayers around me like a warm blanket.

I have been through alot lately as most of you know...still trying to catch my breath.

I have been going to spend the weekends with my Mom.  She is doing a little better..still in alot of pain with her healing from the broken hip.

She will start chemo again soon.

There are a few things I can't even write about here in my journal.  But the prayers are seeing me through.

One reason is because I would not want to hurt any of my family by saying all that is going on.

I have been busy at work as well.  I am still learning daily more about insurance.  I have my license now, but still alot to learn.

Eric is doing great.  He is working at The Oasis and hopefully will get more hours soon.

He has moved into a house with a friend and his friends fiance.

Threes company but in reverse. Two guys and a girl and about 10 animals.

They have two birds that talk. A cat that attacks your ankles.  Hundreds of fish, and a couple of dogs.

I miss Eric.  I have not had a chance to go and visit him at his new house yet due to taking care of business.

But he understands.

I do so want to go and see though.

Rick is doing good also.  He is studying to take a test for work.  Now he understands what I was going through....only I know his test is easier than the one I had to take.

I have been trying to sing everyday.  This helps me alot.

I have checked out a few books from the library and hopefully will have some time to read.

I thinkI am going to start painting again.

Anyway. just wanted to let you all know that I am hanging in there and will be back to my goofy self soon.

Hopefully by the next entry.

Love you all Barb
