My love note to my siblings

 Written on 10/29/11

To all of my siblings now that you are grown and on your own and to my children that will be one day too: 

"I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow

And each road leads you where you want to go

And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose

I hope you choose the one that means the most to you

And if one door opens to another door closed

I hope you keep on walkin' 'till you find the window

If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile"

But more than anything...

"My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to

Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small

You never need to carry more than you can hold

And while you're out there getting where you're getting to

I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too" (Taken from the lyrics of the Rascal Flatts song My Wish) 

To Kerri, Ronald, Danielle and Matthew:

I want to start out by saying it was NOT the easiest thing I've done in life, taking custody of all of you, but at the same time I DO NOT AT ALL regret it! If I had to do it all over again I would! I love you all and I hope you truly know it!
