My Story is many: May 2016

Milliana Jo has inspired this post today. Im so grateful to have her in my life. Today she made me smile big, just like every other day. It made me think about all the "kids" that I am fortunate enough to have in my world. That I love and love me. I will miss a few here. Some I am not very close to anymore but they still hold my heart in their hands. You know who you are (if you ever see this). But I love them all. My cousins kids that I call me nieces and nephews and so on.

I testified as to the character of an acquaintance in court last week. The attorney asked if I raised kids assuming I had I guess. He actually didn't ask he sort of assumed in his statement. My answer surprised me.. I said yes. So when he asked how many I had I felt like I had been caught in a lie and I said "none of my own". But I guess in small ways I have helped in little ways. Tim and Haley came and stayed with me in Colorado when they were kids. I used to be real close to Tonya's boys, wish I could see them more. Brian is all grown up and doesn't really come around any of us very much. So there are those that I miss. But many I am very close to. Brandy is more like a little sister than a niece. And of course The Smith boys light up my life! My step girls I adore and I don't like to say (step). It seems to lend the idea that its important to me to point that out. Its not at all. But they had a mother they loved so much and I will let them decide when they are comfortable with dropping the "step". They have brought love to my life like I could never imagine. They teach me more about myself everyday. And of course Milli is just well... THE BEST!

All you kids have a VERY VERY special place for me in my heart and more than that you all need to know that you make me feel like I didn't miss out on anything by not being able to bear my own children. Well with all that said.. Here are some fav pics !
