Remembering

Hey Pirate Boy!!!  You know what they say......"the greater the struggle, the greater the victory"!!  Life is good, I am blessed, and determined more than ever to life my life to the fullest with no regrets!

Amy, I have thought about you all day long and have been in prayer for you and so many others. I will never be able to grasp the horror that you endured on that day, or the days long after and will remember through out your life. I praise God that you are still here to be a part of my life and that you are able to touch so many hearts in such a diverse way.  I do thank God for giving you not only a second chance in life, but now a third in your new body!  I just am so sorry for the memories that you are left with and the heaviness that such a wonderful season as spring should bring to you. Maybe someday you will find a way to look at this time of year with a different heart!  I love you girl!

Thank you Sherry for your prayers!  I do enjoy spring but at the same time its like I have really bad PMS. Sorry for the crude analogy but its true. Each year I am taken off guard by it and surprised that after so much time has passed that it still affects me the way it does. The weird thing is that right after the 19th I am so much better. 

Y'all don't get me wrong, I am NOT a victim, I am survivor!!  :)  I love y'all.  Its so great to have this family that understands me in a way that others don't.  I am thrilled for this weight loss tool that is allowing me to really live my life!!  Yeehaw!!!!

I will forever have the memory of that day etched in my mind. I was not living here then, but I watched it unfold on TV. I have admiration for your strength getting through such a horrible event. You definitely honor the memory of your friends by remembering them after all the years that have passed. My daughter-in-law's father was a US Marshall, he was on an assignment and not in the office that day. Needless to say he has had a tough time in the years since.

You are in my thoughts as are the one who were lost.

Dear Amy,

I have been thinking about what happened on this date off and on all day.  I am so happy you survived and that I have had the priviledge to get to know you a little bit thru this great OK Board.  Many who lost loved ones are mourning today, and my heart breaks for them still. 

Even tho I was living up in Michigan that awful day, I can remember it vividly.  My prayers will continue to go on for you Amy, and for all the other  folks affected by this national tragedy.

Big Huggs,
Pammie

I remember sitting in the recliner clinging to my room mate's granddaughter, crying my heart out.  I lived in Dallas at the time.

As Oklahomans, we are used to the sudden nature of the weather-but to this day I cannot fathom a deliberate act such as that.

Remember, every breath you take is a testament to the truth that goodness and decency win in the end. 

You are such a strong, wonderful person and I admire you very much...  You have overcome many obstacles and have done so with grace, poise, and dignity.  You are beautiful inside and out.  I'm so glad to know you... *hugs*

PS  I can think of much worse transfer addictions than shopping LoL

By the way........ YOU LOOK AWSOME!! i WOULD NOT EVEN KNOW YOU!! The changes are so dramatic and wonderful! What a great picture!  Personally ,my avitar says what is happening in me....I am a flower blooming ever so slowly but still blooming!! HA!

Sherry

Amy, thinking of you at this difficult time. I feel your pain. It takes one day at a time and some days it's one second at a time. Hugs

Sometimes it's hard to believe God knows what we can handle.  You have come through with grace and dignity.  You're a special and wonderful person and it is my priviledge to call you my friend !!  It was great getting to see you at the meeting and I thank you for the PM you sent me.  Take care and I will always keep you in my thoughts ;)
