APB!

A 5 yr old boy named Noah Biorkman is in the last stages of a 2 1/2yr battle with Neuroblastoma Cancer. The family is celebrating Christmas next week and Noah's request is to get LOTS of Christmas cards. Please send cards to:

 Noah Biorkman
1141 Fountain View Circle
 South Lyon, MI 48178

 Let's see how many cards we can get to this angel. Please repost this & help this little boy's wish come true!

**I did a search and it's true**

Feels like we're on another level, feels like our love's intertwined

*Chris Brown - Forever*

So - I'm married! My name is officially changed on my Social Security card and my Driver's license. I decided to hyphenate - now that my Dad's gone I just can't stand to lose one of the things that makes me proud to be his daughter. Sure, people can't say it or spell it (they can't say or spell J's last name either) but that's one of the things I like about. My name is misspelled on my Social Security Card and Driver's License (it's misspelled on my birth certificate) but I'm working on it. I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to get it fixed.

I'm also working on a list of songs that played at our wedding so I can make myself a CD. I worked hard to pick out the music for the ceremony/dinner/reception/dancing and I want to have that music around on one disc so that when I'm old and can't remember my name I won't have to try to remember what songs we played. :)

I watched Juno yesterday. I'm very meh about it. It was ok but reminded me how much High School sucked. I do like Juno as a character though and I believe that more girls (and boys too) should just be who they want to be and to hell with what other people think.

I'm really looking forward to decorating for Christmas this year. I'm not going overboard, but I think that decorating will make me feel better. We need to clean REALLY badly! In fact - that just reminded me what I want to ask for as a Christmas gift. :)

I think that's about it for now. I've got a couple orders to process and then a few "time wasters" to work on. Our phones are down today so it's been quiet. I'm glad I brought my MP3 player in.

Take care everyone!

Perhaps they are not stars...

When he shall die
Take him and cut him out in little stars
And he will make the face of heav'n so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.
William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

 

I'm really missing my Dad today. I keep thinking of our wedding pictures and how he's not there smiling and hugging me. He's there in the blue skies and in our thoughts and memories, but I'd rather have had him in the front row with a big grin on his face, and I'd rather have had him walking me down the aisle. I'm mourning my Daddy Daughter Dance that I'll never get.

I think it's time to get back to working on his memorial tattoo. I think I'll get it done May 10th, 2010; 2 years later.

I read something today about how continuing to live is the best way to memorialize lost loved ones but I find myself wishing for all the things I wished for on May 10th, 2008 - that he'd wait until I got to say good-bye, that the doctors could "fix" him, that he knew how much I love and respect him.

Perhaps they are not the stars,
but rather openings in Heaven
where the love of our lost ones pours through
and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.

“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”

Jim Morrison
