When I sit alone and wonder what life holds for me in my future, I don't know what will happen but I do know that I will be very happy with no regrets.  Life is too short not to be happy.

Memorial Day for Tyler

Wow!!  I actually have folks who read my blog?  That is awesome!  Thanks Anne & M for reading about me and my life.  I hope it makes you smile sometimes. 

I have to take a moment and not be happy, smiling or excited because Memorial Day is this weekend.  I am sad because it takes a special meaning to me since Tyler, my nephew, was killed in Iraq 4-30-09.  While non-military families look at the American Flag as just a flag, it takes a special meaning to me.  I get very emotional when I see the huge flags flying held up by Fire department hook & ladders.  I know he is a special gold star shining down on me from above.  He whispers to me sometimes to "be brave" and his saying of "Tough Times don't Last...Tough People Do".  I feel so much love, honor and respect for anyone who served in the military.  I am so proud to have been brought up in a military family and taught that our freedom we have in this country is based upon patriots who died to defend our freedoms. Tyler is a patriot.
Please look at the American Flag flying this weekend and remember those who gave their lives to defend what that flag means.
