Happy Grandparent's Day

Happy Granparent's Day to all the grandparents out there in the "blogging" world. Happy Grandparent's Day to my Papaw Mink in Heaven!

Ryan new job, new doors open...

The miles between us,
Seem ever so long,
But while you're out there,
I have to stay strong.

It seems so hard,
Not having you near,
But I have to remember,
Soon you will be here.

The days seem so long,
The road seems to never end,
The voices on the radio,
Are your only friend.

Into the endless sky,
As the truck roles on,
I know you're thinking of me,
All the time that you're gone.

The kids they miss you,
And can't wait for your return,
To play Wii and games,
From you it's these things they learn.

I can't wait for you to hold me,
Your arms around me so tight,
Just to be close to you,
The feeling of loneliness I have to fight.

I worry about you out there alone,
With the hazards that follow you,
As you travel down the road,
I know you're thinking about them too.

I can't wait for you to come home,
To see your smiling face,
Please remember I love you,
And I'm with you in every place.

I hope you will always know,
That I am so proud to be you wife,
And knowing that trucking,
Helps fulfill your life.

Every mile behind you,
Is one less you have to go,
Cause every mile traveled,
Brings you closer to home.


This is for my husband Ryan,
I am so proud to be your wife.
Just remember that even though we
can't always be together I love you
more than life. Drive on and drive strong
and always be proud of who you are.

Happy Birthday Laken on Sept 10th

As I Watch You Grow

Do you know how much you mean to me?
As you grow into what you will be.
You came from within, from just beneath my heart
it's there you'll always be though your own life will now start.
You're growing so fast it sends me awhirl,
With misty eyes I ask, Where's my little girl?
I know sometimes to you I seem harsh and so unfair,
But one day you will see, I taught you well because I care.
The next few years will so quickly fly,
With laughter and joy, mixed with a few tears to cry.
As you begin your growth to womanhood, this fact you must know,
You'll always be my source of pride, no matter where you go.
You must stand up tall and proud, within you feel no fear,
For all you dreams and goals, sit before you very near.
With god's love in your heart and the world by its tail,
You'll always be my winner, and victory will prevail.
For you this poem was written, with help from above,
To tell you in a rhythm of your Mother's heartfelt Love!
