Loving you today, until tomorrow ~

Living without Him.....

My sweet first love, my true Prince who loves with all his heart ~ is living in the arms of angels and knowing the unknown depth of our Heavenly Fathers PROMISE ~  I miss his sweet face everyday with every breath I breath.  I am so thankful for his short life here with us, he brought so much love, lessons and strength to so many.  I have made the stand that Satan will not get any part of Mitch's life on earth, which includes the life of the one's left behind - a tragedy in our human eyes does not constitute the end in death BUT a beautiful new beginning of LIFE with no surgery's - no earaches - no infections - no deafness - no disabilities (although Mitch never said the word disability) How unfair, I think I might have said a few times until I realized  - HOW FAIR IT REALLY IS... A masterpiece sent from heaven into my arms to love and protect, giving back to my life a mighty strength and love that could have only been brought by him (sent from heaven above) and now, his rewards for his journey of sharing the Lords Love - compassion - friendship - understanding - forgiveness - strength .... even when he was at his weakest moments HE SHINED with the heavenly love.  I am thankful everyday for meeting, loving, protecting, raising such a sweet piece of heaven on earth.  This I speak of, is from a deep FOUNDATION of family love - I have wonderful souls that connect from way back that our love and strength comes from - Thank you - Praise you Heavenly Father for your FAMILY FOUNDATIONS that brought us to such Sweet Salvation ~  your will be done, I am Thankful

Loving MUCH, Melissa

KLR turns 14 - "Lake"

Amazing ~  how our lives seem so short at these moments in time.  I really have a hard time remembering a lot of things, this guy's life... I remember EVERYTHING about it!! I remember all the KEY players that have shared their hearts with Lake - HE still holds your LOVE dear.  Lake is a very loving young man that will continue to grow and do amazing things - I am counting him in my blessings today!! Nanny (family) - you will always be his sweet unconditional love and the holder of his peebees ~  Tyler... the very sweetness borrowed from heaven that will ALWAYS be with him! JJH - right place, right time and all the love he could ask for. Nanna Carol & Papaw Jess, move that BUS - Nanna he still thinks your on it ~ YOUR sweetness is just a GIFT as you are!! Erin (peepod) he has grown leaps over the "backwards" crybaby" he once was :) - The family FOUNDATION without saying~

** Sweet Story..... Birthday Dinner with his Aunt Diddie and friends - they had the waiters sing... when lake got home he told the story that they were SO LOUD he was saying to himself... "don't cry" -- For those who don't know the story, every time anyone would sing HB to Lake he would break down cry and SCREAM "STOP SINGING TO ME"  (tender heart) precious soul....  I Love You my sweet Lake "Lenord"

Such an emotional time and being so far away from home - CHINA- their return is February 13th with the sweetest gift ever.. Bronwyn Amaris Tadlock. We are thankful to all the giving hearts that lead this daughter to her parents who have long awaited her. In one of the emails that Stacy had written to me he said ... She has such a special family to come home too - I had to reply "Special" is a good word and that would cover it, in the nicest way :) (our families totally get it)!! Seriously, what a foundation for this little girl to have!! Parents - Grandparents - Great Grandparents - Aunts - Uncles - Cousins and more Cousins - I have always said with our foundation there is NOTHING impossible ~ You can never love too much~ Let new life begin in the arms of a wonderful family~ I Love you ALL much
