Thank you for being a man of integrity and character.
Others could take a lesson from you these days.


​

This morning, while drinking a cup of coffee, I couldn't help but think about my kids back when they were at home.
The respect they showed to me, the love & laughter we shared in the mornings.
And I thought about Rick, how he always had my back ...
as well as our coffee times together.
I couldn't stop the tears that rolled down my cheeks.
The thankfulness for those precious and treasured memories.
The sadness that all I have left are memories. 
I love you Rick.
Thank you Angel & Josh for making being your Momma the greatest thing.

This is Owen.
Owen was thirteen years old when he took his own life earlier this month.
Owen was bullied relentlessly and escaped in the only way he believed he could.
Please, people, teach your children and their children to be kind.
Help them learn how to draw that person standing apart into their circle and show them that they matter.
That one small act of kindness might save a life.
I'm sharing this in the hope you do and together we make a difference
How about we post where it's been shared. 
Every one needs to talk about this and yes show children the consciences.
R.I.P sweet boy.
I don’t know this boy but my heart breaks for his family.
It’s not fair.
Bullying in any form or fashion is wrong.
At any age.
Sadly adults do it as well.
We need to take a stand against it.
Would we allow someone to talk to us, to our children, our grandchildren, those around us - face to face, the way they talk online?
If not, then why do we allow it, when we know about it, thru chat or texts, or on FB?
Bullying needs to STOP! 

This is going out to the one who insists on playing the games of hateful text messages. This, and a thank you -
Thank you for changing my heart,
​thank you for making me stronger.
