April 22nd is a busy day

Today is my anniversary, 5 years ago today I married the love of my life. This was not an easy path. We are HS sweethearts that had broken up and gotten back together more times than I can recall but we finally found our stride. It’s not always easy, we are two very stubborn people and compromise can be hard. Compromise is an essential part of any marriage and I think only now are we mature enough to really get that. Happy anniversary Billy, I can’t wait to see what tomorrow holds for us.

I had hoped that by now we would have been able to adopt Delia but it just seems there is one block or another. I keep tweeting and keep hoping and keep praying that someone out there will be able to adopt her, maybe on this day someone will see and say “that is the child for me, she doesn’t belong in an institution she belongs at home with me” Here is Delia, she is 10 and by now she has spent several years in an intuition in really bad conditions http://reecesrainbow.org/delia-8-1

Three years ago today we buried my dad. It seems like so much longer. I miss him every day there always seems like there is something I want to tell him. I am sad that he won’t be at Joey’s confirmation in a few weeks, he would be so darn proud of the young man that he has become. Dad, I miss you, you are never ever far from my thoughts or my heart.

My dad and I at my sweet 16 :)

Finally, HAPPY EARTH DAY :)
