A few short years ago, the word "hate" was not in my vocabulary.
I have advanced heart disease (hereditary). I would LOVE to feel like a healthy 53 year old.
I LOVE my children and grand children.
I love my friends who really surprised me with a b-day party.
As a single Father, the b-day card that my teenaged son gave me was the most LOVED card that I have ever gotten.
The message he wrote me still makes me tear-up. I had NO idea of the depth of his love for me. All of my children (out of state) called and made me feel great but when I read the message my Son wrote..it made me so proud. As my only Son...
LOVE!
