Bless Our Hearts and Hope to Fly!

Hi Family and Friends!

My sweet daughter, Catherine (aka Irish Dancer Girl) is happy to announce that she will be participating in Jump Rope for the Heart in honor of her father who passed away on December 27, 2012. She has created her own webpage to graciously accept donations for the American Heart Association, which happened to be her father's favorite charity.

This wonderful event is helping my girl turn her grieving into blessings. She is so excited to be helping others as a way to cherish her father's memory. If you can spare a bit, she would be forever grateful for your kindness.

Here's a link to her webpage:

Catherine Smith's Jump Rope for the Heart Event to Honor Her Father, William Smith

Thank you in advance for any support you can give. We are slowly, but surely moving forward with our happy memories. We miss him deeply every single day. It makes my heart so happy to know my daughter finally sees some light during this difficult time. I am grateful for your kindness to my darling girl.

With Love and Blessings

I am truly, deeply grateful that ya’ll stop by and visit me! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! (I had this scheduled to post at midnight, but for some reason, it didn't! I got up to check it about 1:30 am and discovered blogger's mischief! Sorry if you came by then!) All righty then…do you have a cup of coffee, hot cocoa, tea, martini? How about a masseuse? You’re gonna need it! It’s my 100th post and by the time you are done reading it, you’ll probably feel as old and tired as Rip Van Winkle! You know me and my long winded rambley-ness!

Tuesday's Tribute...Heartbeat..It's a Lovebeat

Yet Another Jay and Deb Production. I am paying my Tuesday's Tribute to Chilly. Today we celebrate our first Heartaversary. What is a Heartaversary, you ask? Well, settle in with a cuppa and let me weave a tale of wonder... One year ago today I was pacing the waiting room floor of University Medical Center in Tucson waiting for my husband’s surgeon to inform me if Chilly had survived his triple bypass. I’ll spare you the sordid details of how all this came about. I’ll just say that it was very fast and unexpected. The prospect of losing my spouse in my early 40’s wasn’t in my plan obviously. My plan was more of a “hanging with the kiddos, going to the Renaissance Faire, beating my son at Guitar Hero, driving my husband crazy for decades” kind of plan. But God always has a bigger plan for us. In this case, he was trying to keep Chilly on the planet for a while longer. As I have written before, Chilly has had two very challenging years. He has been a diabetic for a couple of decade
