I am a wife, mother and grandmother. My grandchild, Ethan, is the most wonderful child yet born. Yes, I adore my grandson.
I collect dolls, mainly porcelain, but any doll that looks like it needs a good home. I also collect movies, trying to find as many musicals and older titles as I can.
I love to cook and because my husband is a diabetic I can also prepare healthy, low fat foods as well as the standards.
I live in Cajun Country so I know Mardi Gras, po-boys and crawfish. I work outside my home for a local newspaper and look forward to the day when I do not have to work. I spend as much time as I can on my webtv (no longer, now computer), meeting wonderful people. I have made many friends. I love to talk.......
"The above has been on my web page for several years. On June 15, 2001 everything changed. That day my beloved husband, Bill, died. He was a diabetic with heart disease. At 4am he awoke having an insulin reaction. He was convulsing. As I have done many times in the past, I started giving him orange juice laced with sugar. This usually brought his blood sugar up and within minutes he would be okay. That night Bill had a massive heart attack during his insulin reaction. He spoke to me, sighed, and was gone. I ache for him but know he is no longer in pain. No more needles and shots. I will "Love" him forever."
Bill - January 22, 1940-June 15, 2001

If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute to stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right.
There will always be another day to say "I love you," and certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do?"
But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, and today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day, that you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear.
Take time to say "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.
