Missing Grandpa

Well it has been two years since you left us. We still miss you so.

Life does go one but a big hole is left that no matter what will never be filled.

Love you dad miss so much about you.

Thora Gines Prescott

Last Few Days of Summer

We had a great summer. My favorite part was visiting my brother and niece. We can't wait to go back.

I finished my degree of MBA in Healthcare Management...to bad the economy is what it is the job market out there just is not that great. So now I debate between Family Nurse Practitioner and Nurse Educator so next year will jump right back into school.

This year we are hosting an exchange student from China...her name is Zhiyang Chen or Cassia. I hope she enjoys her stay and year of school. She is one brave person to come all this way especially to this area of the country.

McKenna is excited to be back at school and Miss M will start kindergarten and dance.

Soon we will start posting back to school outfits.

Update

What a fun fun summer. We are getting ready to start back to school.

I finally finished my last class so I officially have a degree of MBA in Healthcare Management. With the economy it may take awhile but I am going to jump right back in next year and finish up a master's in nursing focus yet to be decided.

We are just enjoying the last few days of summer.

My goal this year weightloss. I have tried and failed before but this time I want to stick to it.

Happy Father's DAY Daddy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thoughts about Isaiah from McKenna

She is wise beyond her years

Only The Good Die Young‏

I ment to send this out on the 12th but the computer wasn't working. We all know of the tragedy that happened and took our Isaiah away from us. But we know that he is with Heavenly Father in the Highest Kingdom. We know that he'll be watching us and that he will be with us when we need him. He will take care of us and meet us at the gateway to Heaven with Grandpa and all our other family members who we've lost.




For winter's rains and ruins are over,
And all the season of snows and sins;
The days dividing lover and lover,
The light that loses, the night that wins;
And time remembered is grief forgotten,
And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
And in green underwood and cover
Blossom by blossom the spring begins.
~ Algernon Charles Swinburne

Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way
which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without affect,
without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolutely unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you,
for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just around the corner.
All is well.
~ Henry Scott Holland

Rest in peace Isaiah.

Happy Valentines DAY !!!!

Year of the Tiger

Our Little Bubbas

You left this earth far to early.
Now you wait with Grandpa.
How we love and miss you so and someday when our journey is through we will run and be so happy to be with you again.

Tribute

Well a year ago tomorrow our life changed forever with the second worst phone call of my life.

My little nephew had been taken from us in a car accident. This year has had twists and turns someday's it feels like the phone call came yesterday and other times it feels like it has been years.
In his 18 short months he touched us all.

Loosing two people we loved so much was hard and yet life still moves on. I look forward to the day I greet them and others in heaven.

Here is a Poem that touched my heart and states things so much better than my meager words can. I have looked but cannot find the actual author.

THE BROK EN CHAIN

We little knew that morning

That GOD would call your name

In life we loved you dearly

In death we do the same

It broke our hearts to lose you

You did not go alone

For part of us went with you

The day GOD called you home.

You left us peaceful memories

Your live is still our guide

And though we cannot see you

You are always at our side

Our family chain is broken

and nothing seems the same

But as GOD calls us one by one,

THE CHAIN WILL LINK AGAIN

Miss you DAD and Isaiah......more than you ever know

Poem for our little Isaiah

The past few days I have been thinking more and more of my dad and especially my little nephew Isaiah. I was reading through some blogs on line and found this poem and it reminds me of how much we still miss him.

Thinking of You with Love
We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.
We think of you in silence, we often speak your name.
All we have are memories, and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake, with which we will never part.
God has you in His keeping, we have you in our hearts.
A million times we've wanted you. A million times we cried.
If love could only have saved you, you never would have died.
It broke our hearts to lose you.But you didn`t go alone.
For a part of us went with you... the day God called you Home.

New Month

New month and new changes. This year in some was went fast and slow. It feels at times like it was just yesterday that I got the call about my nephew. Other times it seems like so very long ago.

I still miss my dad and nephew and probably always will.

Lots of changes in our house coming over the next year.

Happy Birthday Princess

WOW time flies. It seems just yesterday she was being put in our arms in Changsha , Hunan PRC.

Now she is a spitfire that lights our lives.
