Birthday Wishes To My Son In Heaven

Published: January 17, 2019

If I could have one wish in life,
That wish would have to be
That God would take away my pain
And send you back to me.

Your birthday’s here today, my son,
And I just wanted you to know
How much I deeply love you
And that I miss you so.

On days like this we should celebrate,
But for me that now proves hard,
For unlike other mothers, I cannot send
A simple birthday card.

No kisses can I give you
Or birthday gifts to buy.
Only flowers I now can give you,
Which I place down where you lie.

Two other things I send you
Are my thoughts and all my love,
So hold them close and keep them safe
In Heaven up above.

And please wait for me, my darling
Until my days are through,
And then I’ll come and spend all time
In Heaven just with you.

Hello Monday again so that means it is facts day again, so here we go:

It can be so hot in the Sahara Desert that rain can evaporate before it reaches the ground.

King Charles 11 first tried dog racing in 1670 at Hampton Court Palace.

It wasn’t till 250 years later that racing greyhounds took off as a sport, largely due to the invention of the mechanical hare. Early hares were mounted on roller skates and pulled along with string.

Li is the family name for more than 90 million people in China

Mongolia is the world;s largest landlocked country.

Christmas is at last done with for this year. I hope next Christmas I am more into the season.

Kathy came over and showered me ironed her dad’s work clothes as well as changed the sheets on my bed.

Leo spent last night here and most of the day still here when I went to bed.

Monday is here, during school holidays I lose track of the days and forget what day it is. I have a calendar hanging just above the computer.

Had a sleep in woke at 7am after a good nights sleep.

Saw Sandy she came to pick up something I had printed for her.

Leo slept here again last night and spent most of the day here again. I wonder if he will stay tonight.

Mum sounded ok not great but just ok.

Woke at 5.40 but looked at the clock and decided to lay there till 6 but it was 6.40 when I next woke.

No Leo here this morning he went home around 8.30ish last night.

A cold, wet day and Tim is off for the next 3 days.

Mum was good better then me today.

Rained all day

Awake and up at 6am, Tasha decided to give me a shower this morning before I got dressed.

A cool and dry morning but a cold and wet afternoon.

Spoke to mum she was good.

Tasha went to the chemist for me

Last day of 2020 and I was up at 6am managed to unpack the dishwasher before Tasha arrived to dress me and get my breakfast ready.

Tim went to the shops and bought two 24pk double ply toilet paper, we only generally use 3 or 4ply but since he bought it we will use it.

Tim also vacuumed out Leo’s room which was a big help. Leo had removed large rubbish items and dirty clothes but hadn’t vacuumed which made the room look very messy.

Tim also told me that Jess & Leo are going to Kelli & Jono’s for the night.

Tasha also has plans but she was looking for a ride home she was going to ask Jess but now is going to ask Kathy.

Kathy said she would do it.

Mum was all over the place when we spoke.

Happy New Year all, hello 2021. I was awake about a minute before Tim;s alarm went off at 6am so I got up.

Kathy turned up at 9am and gave me a shower, much cooler today.

Last night Leo wasn’t able to sleep and requested an extra bit of night time meds, which I gave him. He still couldn’t settle so he ended up going home to his house and slept there.

Another coldish and wet day

Slept in till 7am which was a surprise, got up opened the house and the next thing I knew Tasha was walking in.

A coldish wet day again I don’t even have the fan on.

Kelli dropped her two off at Jess’s for the night and while here wanted to borrow my thermometer only to find out it is cactus, so Tim bought a new one via Ebay

Hello world, hello 2021, let the year roll on.

I have no resolutions don’t see the point, nor do I set goals for the year, again I don’t see the point. The reason for this is I know I have zero follow through so why bother.

I take each year as it comes, I always just go with the flow of life. This goes back to when I was a child I can remember being asked by a relative what I wants to do when I grew up and I had no answer all I would say was whatever happened happens and I would handle it when it did.

I remember when I was 16 my Nana asked me what type of boyfriend I wanted again I had no answer as I had no interest in boyfriends at the time. I ended up saying a good man like my dad.

I ended up marring a good man like my dad.

So let 2021 roll on

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

You’re My Everything

Published: February 2008

It makes me happy just being by your side.
All these feelings I just can’t hide.
You’ll always be in my heart.
Can’t bear the pain when we are apart.
Nobody is as special as you are to me.
I hope you are beginning to see
Just how much I care for you,
And all my feelings will always be true.
I can’t describe how much I care,
But when you need me, I’ll be there
To wipe those tears when you are sad,
To make you happy when you are mad.
All these things I can really do.
Just remember I’m thinking of you!

The last post I will write for 2020 is here.

Christmas has been and gone for 2020 and it went off with fizzle no bang here. I have not been able to get into the festive mood this year. I was late getting decorations up and slack with my Christmas cards. I did manage to send out around 50 something cards.

Christmas Day was different instead of Jess & Leo coming here and open presents, Tim & I went over to here house a whole 25 metres or 82 feet away. I rode the scooter over and Tasha walked over, so it was noisy when Kathy rang and I felt that Kathy sounded a tad left out.

After presents opened Tim got ready for work and I got dressed to go over to Mum’s for lunch. My brother Dave picked me up and drove me to Mum’s.

There was a good turn up with Dave & Leigh with their girls as well as Sandy & Ed and their girls along with Sue & Les (her man), Dawson and of course Mun and me.

Lunch was alright just not the same, after lunch Sandy drove me home.

Boxing Day was held here and all 3 daughters and 4 grandchildren along with Kathy’s fiance Michael. Tim bought KFC for lunch and Kathy made a potato bake. I bought a lemon meringue roulade for desert and Kathy had to say she doesn’t like lemon meringue oh well I love it.

Not many photos taken because I am unable to take them.

It is a good thing that we don’t do anything for NYE as so much is cancelled.

Another Monday, more facts as the year draws to a close.

The tradition of nailing Christmas stockings near a fireplace came about in order to help Santa have a place to stuff candies and goodies for bright and cheerful children of the world. It also serves as an endless supply of socks for Santa.

No Christmas is complete if you and your kids don’t wear adorable Christmas sweaters. But did you know that a large part of the world has contests like the ‘best Christmas sweater competition’? When kids wear cute Christmas sweaters, they look adorable and they make beautiful memories to cherish forever.

Did you know that Santa does not simply ignore the children who have been bad throughout the year? He puts pieces of coal into the child’s stocking instead of gifts! This tradition started in Italy. Yet another important reason for children to be good through the year and do as many good deeds as they can!

One of the most fun rituals of Christmas is the exchange of Christmas cards. You can ask your child to make your own cards with embellishments of his choice. By giving Christmas cards, they can convey their feelings to the person they like and wish them well.

he traditional Christmas meal in England before turkey became the obvious choice of food for the holidays was a pig’s head covered with mustard.

There are many traditions and customs your kids can partake in the happiest time of the year. Remember to involve them in as many rituals as you can, be it decorating the tree and house or making plum cakes. The festivities begin at home and will be treasured by your children for years to come.

Woke when Tim’s alarm went of and I needed to be, also it was 6.30. Tasha came down at 7am and got me set up for the day.

Had Daemon & Leo running in and out of the house, he stayed over night at Jess’s place.

Spoke to Mum she was all over the place, not making a lot of sense.

Woke at 6.30 had to pee so got straight up.

Going to be another cool and wet day

Tasha went to Charlie and came home in a right pissed off mood.

Had a visit from Kelli & Freya, she told me that Sue is heading to QLD, I said I hope the boarder is open when she gets there.

Only had a short 20 minute chat to mum.

Tim cut my hair

Awake and up at 6am in for another warm day, hope it’s not to sticky.

Workmen came and fixed the back sliding doors.

At around 2ish Leo came down in a state he couldn’t find the bunnies. After a frantic search of the complex and surrounding streets Natasha found them in the house.

Leo was surprised that so many people started looking for them.

Mum was all over the place this afternoon.

Up at 6am, opened the house and started to get breakfast stuff out when Tasha arrived with “Nick’s” (a neighbour) laundry yes she uses a my washing machine to do someone else’s laundry do I care, nope.

Leo has been approved for NDIS funding, this is great news.

Mum was again rambling about nothing but sounded more like herself.

Jono’s birthday he liked the shirt but it is far too small for him. Jess said it looks more like a woman’s size. I will be complaining.

Had a not so great night, I was so tired last night that instead of listening to my book I fell straight to sleep. At around 11pm I woke and was restless for the next few hours. So I guess it is not a surprise that I slept in till 6.40am.

It’s Christmas Eve and I am not excited or anything.

Mum was sounding ok when we spoke

Christmas Day has arrived with a little pop no bang here. It is a cold wet start to the day.

Jess & Leo came and fetched Tim &i to go to their house anw watch Leo open presents.

Dave & Leigh picked me up and took me to Mum’s, I had a goodish day nothing bad happened just felt different. Sandy drove me home.

Dawson gave me a terrific storage set for the kitchen.

Had a sleep in woke at 6.40am and got up opened the house and made my own breakfast.

Kathy rang she will be here around 11.30, so no morning shower today.

So Tasha came and dressed me.

All the girls will be here for lunch.

Jess tried to order KFC online but wouldn’t go through so they went in to order and get it.

Lunch was good, I liked having them all here. No fights or arguments.
