Its been a long time....

So I had just started blogging and kinda liked it and then I let life get in the way...It was about that time that i got on facebook and that was quick and easy and I just stopped posting. I have come back to my blog from time to time and thought maybe I will post something today and didn't. Tonight I thought well maybe I will try and decided "just do it" so here I am. Much has happened since that last post in Nov. 08 including my sister Tina passing away from Breast Cancer about a year and a half ago. I have experienced much loss including both my parents, my two brothers and now my sis. Losing my sister I think was the straw that broke the camels back and I admit I have had a hard time over it. Tina really was like a second Mom to me. She was the oldest and I the youngest so she was already a young married woman by the time I was born. She would tease my Mom that she was too old to have any more babies and beg Mom to give me to her. Well my Mom wouldn't but it sure didn't stop my sis from helping to take care of me. All of my most favorite memories are times spent tagging along with my sister, BIL, and my niece and nephew. Truth be told if it were not for the times my sister took me with them I probably would have been stuck watching Lawence Welk on T.V. with my folks. They really were past the stage of raising little ones. None the less they loved me much. So, this feels pretty good writing down some of my thoughts maybe I will have to try this Blog thing out again. I will probably have to take the tutorial again because I can't remember how to manage this Blog stuff anymore. We shall see.....
