A Day With Debbie

We leave for DisneyWorld in Orlando Fri morning at 7:30---I will update when we get back to Waco....

We got Cam all moved to Arlington htis weekend, he starts a new job on Tuesday...nice apartment and close to a few relatives....
Went by Cooks and visited with Paul for a little bit, bought him a new Star Wars Leggo set, he was determined to get it done that night.... get well soon my little buddy!

No more 5th grader in this family---already in 6th grade!!!!
Now on to bigger better things..................................like DISNEYWORLD next week..............

Kindegarten Graduation at Spring Valley Elem.---what a special day to my most important 2 kindegarteners in the world!
My sweet Madalyn graduated, she was in Mrs H class and made so many special friends! We were all so proud of her, she is growing up into a beautiful, smart girl. We love you so much Madalyn!
Then Paul graduated also, he has been in the hospital very sick the last week with a nasty fungal infection, but he made it and even walked across the stage! I know this had to be such a bittersweet day for Leigh and Terrill, not many dry eyes this day! Go Paul!

This week has been very tough for mama, apparently on Monday night at some point, she has had a mild heart attack...we do not know if it was caused from the dehydration/spot on her stomach from last week/meds she has been taking or just her getting tired.
She was in ICU for several days, home tonight or rather with Laurie. They have had to put her on a heart med and cumadin which is very bad medicine..so, no more driving for now, no more getting her nails done,no more green foods, no more cranberry juices, she has to use a walker for awhile, we don't want her falling, her skin is so thin, she could have internal beleeding and never know it....Such a drastic lifestyle change for her!
We are lucky she is still alive tonight, things could of been so much worse for her!
I plan on going next week and staying with her and helping out as much as I can...cook some of her fav foods and dote on her!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CAM...
Our only son, the one who will carry his fathers name on one day.
What a fine man you have turned out to be, you always meet friends easily, hold your head up high even when you are at your lowest...you love your nieces with ever being in you. Sometimes things don't turn out like you want them to but you always seem to land on your feet.
And one day, I know that the right person will come along, you will finally have met your soul-mate and there will be little kiddos to love....
My wish for you is to always be happy, look to the Lord, carry on your fathers name with pride and to know that we both love you very much and are so proud of what you have accomplished in life.

To my sweet Mother, Happy Mothers Day this year, I won't be there to help celebrate but you are always in my heart.
I fear this may be your last Mothers Day here on earth as your health is declining very fast.
I know how much you miss daddy now, my hope is that you are reunited with him very soon.
You have such a giving heart...
You love your grandchildren very much as well as your children.


To the 2 other special mothers in my life, Amber & Lindsay, I am so proud of both of you, what good mommies you have made, you both strive for the best for your girls, I see your love for your families in your eyes and hearts! Thank you both for letting me a part of those precious girls lifes, I am so proud of all my children and grandchildren.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO AMBER
My firstborn, the love of our life, what a sweetie you have always been...there were times when things were rough, you wanted and got your independance but you know we loved you and still do so much.
I am so proud of what you are doing, going to nursing school, fulfilling your dream, doing what you do best, nurturing other people. You have such a soft heart, I know you will touch a lot of people in your lifetime.
You are a good mom to our firstborn grand-daughter and Kaitlyn loves her mom so much! We are so proud of both of you and we love you!
