it is what it is

There was a time this year that I stopped blogging for reasons I will not disclose here.  I took the blog down and tucked it away and allowed myself to be computer free. I lived life outside of this virtual world.

Then my son was looking for something and asked why the blog had disappeared. He wanted to show a friend my blog.

So here are the facts:

I blog for my children, my family, and my very special friends who are my chosen family. This blog will be my legacy to them. Long after I am gone, they will be able to hear my voice and remember just how much I loved them during this journey called life. They will always be able to search for their pictures and their stories here. If they are dealing with some difficulty, they can always come here for a virtual hug from me.This blog is for them.

I write for the people in my life that I care about and no one else. If someone happens to find my blog, then so be it. I hope you find some inspiration here! If you are reading this and are my friend, welcome. If you are my family, born or chosen, I love you. Always know that this blog is a loving letter to *you* all ~ to those I cherish with all my heart and all my mind and all my soul.

No more. No less.
This blog is for nothing nor no one else.

To my children:
I have loved you since before you were born.  I have wanted you since I was as young as five and played house with my friends and pretended to be the mom. My hopes and dreams were fulfilled when you were given to me as a gift of life. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to have raised you and loved you. Always know that you are special and never allow anyone else to tell you who you are or what you should want. You are perfect just the way you are and deserve all of the happiness this world offers.
I love you,
Mom

To my family:
Ditto ~ except for the part "before you were born" because some of you are older than me. HA!  ;)

Love you all!!!
