ProjectHope7 has left a new comment on your post "Happy Birthday Noel!! GiveAway!!": First, I am near to tears having stumbled upon this amazing and inspiring blog. I am weeping now just thinking of the blessing that has come to so many of us as you share your relationship with each other. You so beautifully thanked God for your daughter and for all in your life. I have to say you are truly blessed women. After a horrid divorce and many years of custody battles, I lost touch with my first daughter, Julie...not through any desire of mine. The years that followed were filled with more tears than anyone should have to shed...wanting to be near to her and not being able... I was sure on her part as well. Last week for the first time in many many years, she finally responded to a message I sent her thru social media..and for the first time in 17 yrs she sent me a 2 line note asking for my address and said she would send me photos of her and her new baby daughter! So as I read your post, I thought of all the things that could have been between my daughter and I... and then I thanked God for women and daughters like the two of you that give hope to some of the rest of us. My daughters birthday is on New Years day.... mine is on January 4th. The year she was born I was in the hospital having just given birth to her 3 days prior... the greatest birthday present I have ever had! If I win I would love to have you send the perfume to her... the Jewel of my heart!( that's is why I named her Julie..my precious jewel)..Happy and blessed Birthday Noel...(both my daughter and I were due on Christmas day, but arrived late!..) and Happy Blogiversary to your mom...Blessed New Year. I look forward to following this inspiring and encouraging blog! Posted by ProjectHope7 to FrenchBlue at December 30, 2009 7:47 PM

To You

To You,

My Christmas wish

is that we could be children

again,

together just once.

On this one day...

We would

build a bridge to the mOOn

and look down on

our Beautiful Earth.

We would see it lit,

Sparkling

with Angels...

Then on our way back,

we would see Santa Claus

in his Sleigh!

He would give us

100 wishes

to bring back

to our family & friends!!

Maybe they would wish to

go to the mOOn too!

Merry Christmas to all

of you

sweet sweet

Beautiful Angels

&

may all your wishes

come true!

My Gift

My gift

this year after much thought

& reading La Dolphina's

post about visiting

her beautiful

Mom's house at Chirstmas

is to give

the gift of

Time.

Time Together...

I am

s l o w i n g

down my Holiday

hustle & bustle.

I decided to put my time

where it counts.

I am taking my 2 girls

up to Northern California on a

"just the 3 of us"

girl holiday!!

We will be together for 24 hours

with no interruptions~

Yay Yay Yay!!!

We are almost off!

We will then go visit my mom,

Grandmother.

"Just the 4 of us".

We will have

a day to make memories~

A day made up of time together.

Maybe doing nothing at all...

but laughing,

something we do best~

Then we will be off to see my sister,

Aunt Julie.

"Just the 5 of us".

We may stay up all night talking,

drinking coffee or sipping tea,

as if tomorrow never comes.

Our time together is

Rare & Priceless,

we find a place where

time stands still~

We are five women

strung together by the same

golden thread...

We are all so different

but

we are all so much the same~

~~~~~

If I could slow down time,

I would...

If any of you

smart, beautiful & creative ones

have figured it out

please tell me how....

Have a blissful week full of

solid beautiful time
