Bruno Mars-Just The Way You Are With Lyrics

ABK - One Last Chance


For Kenny from Justin and Precious

What you might not know


With xmas fastly approaching, our first xmas without Kenny I can't even tell you how depressing and sad it is. Mom has no tree, not one decoration put up.....nothing. I know if it wasn't for the kids her and Justin would crawl into a ball and stay there for two days straight. Kenny loved xmas and loved making all of us happy. He loved the cartoon version of "The Grinch that stole Christmas" which is ironic because he was nothing at all like the Grinch. He was more like the president of whooville lol lol. He liked the Grinch's dog the most actually. He laughed his ass off at that damn dog everytime. We watched it together after we got home from Gram's on xmas eve. All of us in our new jammies, that Mom got us. Then we would all go to bed and xmas morning was time for presents and Chef Kenny's breakfast FEAST!!!!! As we would open presents Kenny would sit in the chair and just SMILE, he loved watching the kids and Justin open gifts. He would work TONS of OT just to make sure we all had a wonderful christmas. (mom did too of course) Then it was breakfast time. I don't know how many people know our family traditions but Kenny and Mom would make us a HUGE breakfast every Christmas Morning. It started YEARS ago when we would have to leave early in the afternoon on christmas day to go to my Dad's house. We loved it so much we continued to do it on into our adulthood. Kenny would start breakfast prep days in advance making bacon, sausage ~ shopping for chocolate milk, grape juice, crossiants, mom made cheesy potatoes it was a feast of things we did not indulge in except for xmas day. Mom would make eggs with cheese and Kenny the bacon and sausage, most of us made crossiant sandwiches and it was so much fun. All of us together eating and laughing. Kenny and Mom always ate last, he would sit back and watch us and smile. I remember last year we did a " HIP HIP HORRAY FOR HIM" boy am I glad we did that. Last year was our last "REAL" family breakfast. It will never be the same again without him. Shane volunteered to take over and do the cooking, which is great but without our Chef its gonna be very painful, ODD, and sad.

I still have alot of trouble accepting he is gone. I still see his face everynight when I try to go to sleep, I still miss him and his corny jokes. You really don't realize how important or involved someone is in your life until they are gone. I always loved Kenny but I never appreciated him and or all he did for me and my family until now. He loved all of us so much, we really were his whole life and all he wanted was to much us happy. Kenny would want us to keep the breakfast going, to keep smiling and enjoying Christmas. He would not want us sad and miserable without him, but I think this christmas its gonna be hard to not be. I know he will be with us and we will watch The Grinch and The Christmas Story and raise a glass of chocolate milk in his honor.
We miss you and love you Kenny and always will ~ Merry Christmas!!!!

Broken by Lifehouse Lyrics



Sometimes I feel like this song :*(

New Plan

Well I took a pregnancy test Wednesday morning and it was negative :(  I was very sad and so was Steve,  but I decided that I really need to get some weight off and get healthier before I get pregnant. It would have been a wonderful christmas surprise if I was  but it was not meant to be yet. It seems everywhere I look everywhere I turn its babies or someone else is pregnant, so its making me a bit insane. I can certainly see how this can become a complete obsession. Its all you think about, dream about, talk about its crazy. I have been doing some major thinking over the past two days. Life is not easy and becoming a parent is a privilege not a right so I need to get myself as healthy and prepared as possible, before we take on this life changing task. So I know its not gonna be easy, but with prayer and some inner strength I can do it!!!!! Here is my new plan of attack .............
I am going test and monitor for my ovulation, I am going to go back to the gym 3xs a week, go back on weight watchers, plan to lose 20lbs or more by Valentine's Day , montior my blood sugars, Start clomid in Feb or March, get my butt back to church, enjoy being married and when its time for us to have a baby we will. It is all is God's hands and I have to trust in him.

Trying not 2

So my younger cousin had a baby yesterday ~ She is only 20 yrs old and it was not something she planned. He is a gorgeous lil baby and I am so happy her and her lil bundle are healthy......BUT even thou I am trying not to it makes me so frigging sad ;(   I feel horribly guilty for feeling this way, but as you see from the green lettering I am beyond jealous. I want to pregnant so badly I could scream. Knowing how much Steve wants a baby makes it even worse.  Last night I could not eat dinner, my stomach was just not right and I felt kinda pukey.........Steve says "ooooo maybe thats a sign"  with this HUGE smile on his face.  He has no idea that statements like that make me feel like such a failure. I want to make his dreams come true like he has made mine come true.  He says I already have by saying yes and marrying him BUT I know he wants another title along with husband he wants to be Daddy to. I know I am totally overracting to all of this, we just starting REALLY trying in October so its so pathetic of me to be acting this way when I know woman who have been trying for years, but I cannot help they way I feel. Today is just a O wooo is me day, I will get over it.
I wish I could be happy and positive everyday, but I just can't. I noticed since we losted Kenny I have been getting more and more depressed as the days go by. I told Steve the only day I felt " GREAT" in years was the day we got married.  I need to try and get back in the habit of going to church and worshipping my lord and being with my fellow church members, they lift me up and make me feel so much better.  Yet Sundays mornings I just lay in bed (wide awake mind you) staring at the ceiling but I don't get dressed and go.  I decided I am going to make goals for myself 2 per week that I must accomplish, and then 1 monthly goal, maybe this will help keep me going. I need some energy and I need to find a good Fun exciting job soon.
Maybe if Mom feels like it we might go see my new cousin tonight, maybe getting some baby lovin will rub off on me <3

A Poem for The Women In Waiting


Baby Dust

Wanting, hoping, waiting, and praying.

To have a little one to call our own.

Getting tired of trying and failing.

Just want to make our house a home.

When is it going to be our turn for a baby?

There is this emptiness in completing our family,

This is really driving us crazy!

Maybe one day it will be our time for joy,

Until then we must stay strong and keep hoping

Please pray for us and sprinkle that baby dust upon us!!!!

Just how my life goes

Steve and I finally are ready to have a baby .  We got engaged, married did everything the way your "suppose to", did it by the book and now WHAM, Stacy you are diabeteic, you have high blood pressure, you might has cushings diesease, you have a cyst on your right ovary and you have polycystic ovarian syndrome. Ok, I go to the doctors regularly, I get bloodwork done regularly , I have my yearly papsmears I do it all and NO ONE F*CKING noticed this before NOW, now when I wanna have a baby?????? HELLO what the hell am I paying you assholes for. I am so frustrated, now I am on a low card diet, going to the gym, on new meds that are making me go to the bathroom every hour on the hour (URGH) I just don't get it. I am not gonna stress out about it because I could be pregnant right now I dunno yet, but I highly doubt we are lucky enough to get pregnant the first month of trying........The doc wants me to try on our own for 3mths to lose weight and see if I ovulate if not she is gonna give me clomid to make me ovulate.  Steve is so excitied that I am scared to death to disappoint him, if I can't give him a child he would be devastated (so would I) I can't even think about it and I know I am blowing this out of perportion BUT I guess you always just think yeah when we are ready for a baby we will have one.......not so easy. If I was not 34yrs old I think I would be a lil less upset, I mean we only have a small window before severe risks start to become a possiblity.
I know things will happen in due time and if I get worked up about it, it will just make it harder on steve and myself. It seems that is all we talk and think about, everywhere I look I see baby, pregnancy stuff all over.........I just want to be a mom so badly. That is all I have ever wanted from this life is a child of my own. I rememeber when I was younger and someone would ask me "What do you wanna be when you grow up" I would say " A Mommy" and I dunno what I will do if that does not happen, life would be unbearable.
I have a very close friend that suffered through this her whole adult life until it was finally known that having a baby of her own was not going to happen. She is the sweetest, most wonderful giving loving, woman I know, yet she is still hurting inside. I know she is still devastated to the core, but still lives her life and smiles everyday!  I hope I don't have to go through that, because I am not as strong as her and I could not do it. I pray God gives her peace in her heart and gives me a baby OR twins would be nice, they she can come live with me for a month and take care of the babies with me. I could share them with her.......That would be amazing :)  I am gonna do what I need to do to get this 30lbs off, exercise and get my health on track and pray God sends us a bundle of joy or our very own <3

Randy Travis - If I Didn't Have You (Video)

Steven this song is so true

Alan Jackson-Sissy's Song


Yesterday I was thinking about you all day.......I was thinking about this song and I thought I should call WYRK and request it for you. Not more then 10mins later as I was driving to Gram's house someone else called the radio station and asked for this song and had it dedicated to there mom who lost her sister a few years ago. Yep you were with me yesterday I knew it :)

The Best Day of My LIFE

On Oct 16th, 2010 at 3pm in the afternoon in my amazing lil church I married my best friend Steven Shaver.  It was a perfect day outside.....cool and sunny "perfect wedding day weather" for months before the wedding Steve and I would say this is perfect wedding day weather on a randomly nice day.  God must have heard our requests because we got a great day.  Our bridal party looked great, the girls looks stunning and the guys looked so hot in there tuxedos. That morning I remember waking up thinking OMG this is really happening, its finally here my day, my turn. All of the work, time and effort was finally gonna pay off.  We went and got our hair done and I did my makeup. I put on my jewlery and looked in the mirror and I thought wow I look really pretty.  After we got to church and I actually put on my dress and got my flowers I could not believe how well everything looked together. It was just what I imagined NO wait it was BETTER then I imagined. I looked like a princess :)  Our flowers were so gorgeous I cant even describe in words how much I loved the flowers Lynette did, she is amazingly talented. I LOVED everything she did, she read my mind and then made it better LOL LOL My bouquet was thee most amazing thing I have ever seen I LOVED IT SO MUCH.  I remember standing the parish hall thinking I am not nervous, why am I not nervous. I was HAPPY not scared or nervous at all. I could not wait to get down that isle to Steve. When we got lined up in church I was looking at all my pretty girls thinking how lucky I was to have such wonderful woman in my life. Seeing my niece and nephews looking so adorable, knowing how lucky I was to be there Aunt.  Finally it was my turn ~ Dad took my arm the doors opened up with a swoosh and I heard the song start. I looked around at all the faces of our family and friends and thought Thank You Lord for all of these people. I then got my first good look at Steve and o my goodness he looked so handsome, and I thought he is mine forever, I smiled so big that I thought my face was gonna break. I got close to my mom and looked at her and blew her a kiss, and I thought OMG she is so amazing and I am so lucky to have her as my mother. I had millions of thoughts running through my head in that short lil walk. I kissed and hugged my dad and Steve took my hand. I remember looking into his gorgeous blue eyes and feeling so much love and joy that I thought I was gonna burst.  As we said our vows I was trying to remember ever second and soak it in. After the ceremony it was like a whirlwind the rest of the day. Pictures, cake cutting, dancing, laughing, smiling, hugging, family, friends, more pictures......it was great.
I can't believe I am Steve's wife, he is truly without a doubt my soulmate. No one else could ever be with him because God made him for me. He knows that and so do I, and vice versa there is no one else for me. I have no doubts that God brought us together and that he will keep us together for the rest of our lives. We are gonna grow old together and watch our children and grandchildren grow up and have a happy life :)  I can't begin to say how much I appreciate my mother's help and support over the past year with this wedding planning. Thank you to our bridal party for all your love and help and for making our day so much FUN :)  Thanks to my dad for his contributions and support.  Thank you to everyone mostly Steve for making my dreams come true and for loving me so sincerely :)  I will love you forever

Two Teardrops



No more tears of pain and loneliness ~ Steve has made sure of that <3

Thursday, July 22, 2010

" I still can't believe this"

Its been almost a month since I was woken up out of bed to the sounds of my baby brother hysterically crying and screaming that his father wason the floor and not breathing.  I will NEVER forget the terror that ran through my body as I leaped out of bed. I don't even remember touching the stairs I must have flown down them, Steve said I was screaming, NO, NO, NO at the top of my lungs as I ran.  As I was trying to comprehend what the hell was happening.  I got to the kitchen and I saw his feet coming from out of the bathroom I honestly don't know how I kept myself from passing out right there on the floor next to him. I just kept screaming "Kenny, Kenny, get up O my god get up" I grabbed his hand to check for a pulse but did not find one, I checked his neck for a pulse but did not find one, I grabbed his upper body and was shaking him just praying for his eyes to open but they did not. Justin and I tried CPR but he did not move.  The man I loved for 25 years was gone and there was not a damn thing I could do about it.  Watching my brother and mother sob and scream in horror was more then I could bare. It was the worst thing I have ever been through in my life. The paramedics got there and told my Mom that he was gone and I fell to my knees and sobbed.
I screamed to you Lord soooo loudly, "Please don't do this", Didn't you hear me Lord?, Didn't you hear me?  Why us, Why him?  He never hurt a soul, all he ever wanted to do was make people laugh.  Why did you take him from us??  Why did we have to find him on the bathroom floor?  Is that fair Lord, NO its not!!!!! I trust in you and I have faith that you have a plan but this was a wrong plan for Kenny, Lord.  I need him ~ Justin needs him ~ My Mom needs him ~ The kids need there Ja Ja.........Our family needs him.  Now two parts of our puzzle are missing, Debbie and Kenny ~ its just not right.  Our whole world has been turned upside down in a blink of an eye and to be honest with you I feel like its all a horrible nightmare that I'm waiting to wake up from.  I keep thinking he is just gonna walk outta the TV room and say " O' hi Stac, how's it going"  but he's not.  I'm never going to hear his voice again, no more corny jokes, no more funny birthday cards that he picked out for me, no more wonderful family christmas breakfasts, no more BLTS (the best in the world), no more laughter or smiles.  This is just not right.  My Mom misses her man so much ~ I can't bare to see her struggle without him. He loved her so completely and so deeply!  This has been the worst 3 weeks of my life.  Living here knowing what happened and knowing he is never coming back, its unbearable.  I have been praying for strength and trying to tell myself he is in heaven and happy......but to be honest with you I don't care I want him HERE with us where he is SUPPOSE to be.  WTF  I'm sooooo angry right now, I don't know what to do.

Brad Paisley - He Didn't Have To be


This song is dedicated to Kenny ~ You walked into our lives 25 yrs ago and loved us as if we were your own children.  Never pushing us just being there and loving us. You loved me as if I was your daughter and treated me that way, You were always there for me when I needed you.  I wish you could be there when I marry Steve on the happiest day of my life.  I know this is what you wanted for me to find someone and be happy.  I miss you and think about you everyday.  It is so werid without you ~ Christmas is going to be awful without you ~ I hope you can see us from heaven and can feel how much we miss you and Love you.  I will be your precious forever.  Thank you for being the dad you did not have to be.

Blog excert about Kenny 8/2008

I found this excert from a blog I posted on myspace in August of 2008 ~ I wanted to share it

" This is going to be a busy week Kenny's b-day party is next weekend so Mom and I have alot to do, but he is worth it. He is a good man, with a good heart, I could not have asked God for a better man as my step dad, I'm 32yrs old, not his daughter and he still to this day takes care of me. He loves me and my brothers, he is a great Ja-Ja the kids just adore him, and he loves My Mother so we want to give him a party and make him feel special and let him see we love and appreciate him. The boys, Mom and I are all pitching in to do this for him. Mom and I will be setting up and decorating Friday night and getting most of the food ready, Shane & Shawn will be doing the music and booze so we got it all covered I just want everything to go well and for us all to have fun. He is excited that his sisters are all going to be there and some of friends from back in the day so it should be a good time. "

Email from MaryEllen (loved it and wanted to share)


I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an
angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large
workroom filled with angels. My angel guide stopped in front of the
first section and said, 'This is the Receiving Section. Here, all
petitions to God said in prayer are received.'
I looked around in this area, and it was
terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on
 voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.
Then we moved on down a long corridor
 until we reached the second section.
The angel then said to me, "This is the
Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the
people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who
asked for them." I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many
angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been
requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.
Finally at the farthest end of the long
corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great
 surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. "This is
 the Acknowledgment Section, my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He
 seemed embarrassed." How is it that there is no work going on here?' I
 asked.
"So sad," the angel sighed. "After people
receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back
 acknowledgments"
 "How does one acknowledge God's
blessings?" I asked..
"Simple," the angel answered. Just say,
 "Thank you, Lord. "
 "What blessings should they acknowledge?"I asked.
 "If you have food in the refrigerator,
 clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are
richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your
 wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the
 world's wealthy."
"And if you get this on your own computer,
 you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity."
"If you woke up this morning with more
 health than illness. You are more blessed than the many who will not
even survive this day."
 "If you have never experienced the fear in
 battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the
 pangs of starvation ... You are ahead of 700 million people in the world."
 "If you can attend a church without the
 fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more
 blessed than, three billion people in the world."
 "If your parents are still alive and still
married ..you are very rare."
"If you can hold your head up and smile,
 you are not the norm, you're unique to all those in doubt and
despair..."
Ok, what now? How can I start?
 If you can read this message, you just
received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very
special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the
world who cannot read at all.
 Have a good day, count your blessings ,
and if you care to, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed
we all are.

Happy Birthday Debbie

Missing You

I find it so very hard to believe
That you have gone and I must grieve;
I call out your name -- you answer not,
And I look for you in every familiar spot.
Everything seems so strange and surreal,
I ask everyday is it a dream or real?

Away from the voices of those who went before,
Who beckoned you to come to that distant shore.


Where are the soft green eyes of affection?
Where is the laughter and talk of childhood reflection?
Where is the loving care when I was sick or sad?
Where is the generous soul for which I was glad?
Where is the forgiving and understanding heart?
Where are the bonds that were there from the start?

I miss all the little ways you showed you cared,
For there were so many good moments we shared;
Looking back on my life’s assorted scenes,
I realized you taught me what love truly means;
You were my trusted confidante and best friend,
On whose loving support I could always depend.

I look at your smiling face in all my photos;
Memories flood my mind as I touch the mementos
From the happy times you and I have had,
But now these bring tears and make me sad;
For the time together went by in a wink,
Life was not as long as we’d like to think.

Sometimes memories bring comfort and make me smile,
But there are times when grief takes over for a while;
Friends offer gentle words and prayers to console,
And tell me what has happened to your loving soul;
Can it be true what they say of time healing grief?
Is it enough when they say death has given you relief?

Can we believe what others say of a better place,
Where our beloved ones rest in God’s warm embrace?
I should be happy you’re free of pain and sorrow,
And rejoice that you’ll always have tomorrow.
How can I then be so heartbroken and selfishly cry,
Return to me from that peaceful place where you lie!”

Now I look down at your name on a cold hard stone
That says little of the loving light you have shone;
It tells nothing of the wonderful person you were,
And only serves to remind me of the painful loss I endure;
But I know your kind soul wants no tears or pain,
Instead you’d want warm memories and love to remain.

Although I cry and stand grief-stricken by your grave,
I promise not to forget the loving memories you gave;
But still I miss you so very much Debbie my dear,
And your caring words I long to hear;
My heart’s only solace is one day I will see you as before,
Beckoning me to come join you on that white distant shore.



I thought it would get easier as the time pasted but it has only made it worse. Missing your voice, your smile, your hugs and your face. I hope you know that not a day goes by that I don't think about you. Saying I love you and miss doesn't even begin to cover it. We will have a hot fudge sundae in honor of you today Deb! 

Love Your Neice ,
Stacy

For Debbie

If tears could build a stairway

and thoughts a memory lane

I'd walk right up to heaven

and bring you home again

No Farewell words were spoken

No time to say good-bye

You were gone before I knew it

And only God knows why.



My heart's still active in sadness

And secret tears still flow

What it meant to lose you

No one can ever know.

But now I know you want us

To mourn for you no more

To remember all the happy times

Life still has much in store.



Since you'll never be forgotten

I pledge to you today

A hallowed place within my heart

Is where you'll always stay.

Broken Chain

The Broken Chain

We little knew that morning that God

Was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly,

In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you,

You did not go alone;

For part of us went with you,

The day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories,

Your love is still our guide;

And though we can not see you,

You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,

And nothing seems the same;

But as God calls us one by one,

The chain will link again.

When Tomorrow Starts without Me

If tomorrow starts without me and I’m not there to see,

If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today, while thinking of the many things, we didn’t get to say.



I know how much you love me, as much as I love you!

And each time that you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too;



But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand; she said my place was ready, in heaven far above and that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love.



But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye for all my life,

I’d always thought I didn’t want to die; I had so much to live for, so much left yet to do, it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.



I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad; I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.



If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while; I’d say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.



But then I fully realized that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would take the place of me; when I thought of worldly things I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you and when I did my heart was filled with sorrow.



But when I walked through Heaven’s Gates, I felt so much at home.

When God looked down and smiled at me, from his great golden throne,

He said, “This is Eternity and all I’ve promised you.”



Today your life on earth is past but here life starts anew. I promise no tomorrow but today will always last; and since each day’s the same way there’s no longing for the past.



You have been so faithful, so trusting and so true; though there were times you did some things, you knew you shouldn’t do. But you have been forgiven and now at last you’re free; so won’t you come and take my hand and share my life with me?



So when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me, I’m right here in your heart…
