Heaven Has One More Angel

If you recall, a couple of days ago, I wrote a post about my friends the Larkins who's son Noah was battling a brain tumor and not doing very well at all.

I want to thank you all for your prayers, Noah was able to have a spectacular Star Wars weekend during which the Disney staff did it's utmost to make him feel like the Jedi that he was.

It is with a broken heart and tears in my eyes that I must tell you that little Noah has gone home to his heavenly Father on Monday around 4pm. I once again ask that you pray for his family, especially his little sister, Landin, who will miss Noah terribly - he was her best friend and mentor.



God bless you Noah for all the lives you have touched, including mine..

My Dear Friends The Larkins are in Need of Your Prayers

Photo Source

My dear friends the Larkins who's son Noah has been battling a terrible brain tumor for years need your prayers. Poor Noah has been declining in health rapidly over the last few weeks and his mom Amber has asked for just a couple of things. Mainly, to "pray for strength. Please pray for Landin - his little sister - (I will need a lot of help with baby girl. Noah is not only who she wants “to marry,” but is her best friend. She worships him.)" (italics added)

Also, she doesn't "want is one more dime spent on us – PLEASE, PLEASE donate it to Noah’s Light. Whether it be $20 that you would have spent on flowers or $1 for a card – DONATE IT!!!!!!! Help me battle this demon – our fight is not over!"

This family has given me more joy than anyone can ever know. Through all that they have been through, Noah has brought light, love, and happiness to more people than I think he and his family will ever know.

The one thing Amber wrote about her love of her son that brought tears to my eyes was: "This is what is important; this is what to remember. God gave us a REAL, visible Angel and through Christ, Noah has actually made miracles – we are so blessed!"

Please keep this dear family in mind as you spend time with your family this holiday weekend.

DONATE

Friday Flashback Photo: Remembering our Military this Memorial Day Weekend

.



Alicia from More Than Words says she started Friday Photo Flashback because "I have so many pictures from my PRE-digital camera days. I thought it would be fun to scan them and share them here with you.. I'm having so much fun doing this, that I would love for you to join me, too! So dig out the photo albums and put your scanner to good use! Don't forget to link up so we can all visit and comment on each others blogs!"

I have been so busy lately, that I haven't done one of these posts in several months, but I wanted to take this opportunity to showcase my Uncle Raymond (my dad's brother) in Korea when he was in the Air Force.

I also want to share a photo of my son when he was in Afghanistan serving in the Army. Today is the 2nd anniversary of the death of one of his brothers-in-arms.

As you celebrate your holiday weekend, please remember those who have served to protect our country and their families. Pray for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice:










Share your flashback photo on your blog and link up with Alicia on her blog.

Wishing you all a fabulous holiday weekend with those you love. Be safe!

Happy Birthday to My Dad - You are Missed

.

Today would have been my father's 73rd birthday, and while my childhood wasn't always the best, there are some things that I do cherish about my youth. My father gave me my love of music, reading, and photography.


My dad passed away a few years ago and there are still times I still think of him and miss some things about him. I was going through photos the other day and found this one of my dad and his older brother, it was taken just as my dad was starting to decline. It is one of the few photos of my dad and the only one of my uncle that I have.

(L-R) Uncle Raymond Sullivan and My Dad, Donald Sullivan

Wishing you were still here daddy, so that we could have worked things out and had a happier life together. Wherever you are, know that on this, your birthday, I am thinking of you and missing you.

Just Something to Make You Smile: Why We Love Children

.

I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the back seat, 'Mom, that lady isn't wearing a seat belt!'

A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and then asked, 'What's the matter, haven't you ever seen a little boy before?'

(I love this one!)

While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, 'Are you a cop? Yes,' I answered and continued writing the report. My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?' 'Yes, that's right,' I told her. 'Well, then,' she said as she extended her foot toward me, 'would you please tie my shoe?'

It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me. 'Is that a dog you got back there?' he asked.

'It sure is,' I replied.

Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, 'What'd he do?'

And finally, one more to make you smile.

A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages.

'Mama, look what I found,' the boy called out.

'What have you got there, dear?'

With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, 'I think it's Adam's underwear!'

Don't you just love the way kids think? They can always (well, almost always) make you smile with their innocence and pure joy.  Don't forget to hug your kids today and tell them you love them every day. HUGGLES my friends!

Wordless Wednesday: 5/9/2012 ~ Grand Opening of Wyatt WhitneyHip &Orthopedic Institute

.
Welcome to Wordless Wednesday.....

Please join us by posting your photo(s) and linking up to the WW Hub.

My post this week is not quite Wordless, as it needs a little explanation. Last Tuesday we had the privilege of being invited to Orlando Health by the Git-R-Done Foundation for the Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening of the Wyatt Whitney Hip and Orthopedic Institute.

This is a whole new wing of the hospital that has come to being due to the work and generosity of Larry the Cable Guy and his Foundation.

Here are some photos of the event, along with Dan Whitney (aka, Larry the Cable Guy) and his family, including his absolutely adorable son Wyatt for whom the Institute is named.

Danny Boy ~ Michael Londra (the scenery of Ireland is gorgeous)



Waltzing Matilda ~ From Australia



Not sure if this next one is "technically" from another country, but it's from a story about another country, and it was one of the first ones I thought of for this theme.....


Don't Cry for me Argentina ~ Patti LuPone



... and finally, even though I've posted this one before, I really LOVE this song. It makes me and my kids laugh everytime we hear it.


Drunken Scotsman ~ Bryan Bowers
