YOU ARE MY CHILD

I do not love you because you are good but because you are my child!

There are times when you will upset me and cause me unwanted anger,
but no matter what, "I will always love you."

There are cruel words you might say that will cause me hurt and bring me sadness,
but no matter what "I will always love you."

There are going to be unwise decisions that you will make that will disappoint me,
but no matter what, "I will always love you."

There are actions you might act upon that will cause me to worry about you,
but no matter what, "I will always love you."

There will be moments where you will make me cry and bring me to tears,
but no matter what, "I will always love you."

There will be unforgivable mistakes that you bring upon me,
but no matter what. "I will always love you."

There will be lies told to me in which you test my trust in you,
but no matter what, "I will always love you."

In life there are struggles, arguments and challenges we will have to endure, but no matter what happens, I want you to know that, "I will always love you," now and forever!

Remembering these actresses from my youth.

Remembering Doris Day and Debbie Reynolds ....... my favorites as a

young girl .   

My favorite actresses as I was growing up. Debbie Reynolds and Doris Day. People change, think Debbie did more than Doris but I think thats cause sometimes things happen in life and you have no choice but to deal with it.   Even I myself have changed some, its really the only way to survive when life gets really hard!!

Red Bandanna

A Red Bandanna....

This is a short story of the 9/11 tragedy!  It really touched my heart because we love our little boys sooo much and want them to grow up safe and to help others!
 Crowther once a volunteer fire fighter at one time didn't hestitate to help injured and disoriented people to safety, risking his own life in the process. Though they couldn't see much through the haze,  he saved many and they said  a tall figure wearing a red bandana to shield his lungs and mouth helped us.
He had come down to the 78th-floor sky lobby, an alcove in the building with express elevators meant to speed up trips to the ground floor. He directed survivors to the stairway and encouraged them to help others while he carried an injured woman on his back.
One of the women he helped credits him with saving her life.
"If he hadn't come back, I wouldn't have made it,"  "People can live 100 years and not have the compassion, to do what he did."  Though Crowther saved at least a dozen lives that day, his identity remained unknown for some time, even to those he helped. His family — his mother Alison, his father Jefferson and his sisters Paige and Honor — did not know exactly what happened in the hour before he died.
Times interviewed the survivors who made it down from the highest floors alive. In it, eyewitnesses described the figure with a red bandana:

A mysterious man appeared at one point, his mouth and nose covered with a red handkerchief. He was looking for a fire extinguisher. As Judy Wein recalls, he pointed to the stairs and made an announcement that saved lives: Anyone who can walk, get up and walk now. Anyone who can perhaps help others, find someone who needs help and then head down.

A few minutes behind this group was Ling Young, who also survived the impact in the sky lobby. She, too, said she had been steered by the man in the red bandanna, hearing him call out: "This way to the stairs." 

Alison Crowther, knowing he always carried a red bandana in his pocket, sent photographs of her son who it was confirmed that Welles was indeed the man who had saved them.
"Everything we shared — all the details — led right to Welles, so it was really beautiful,"
The family later learned that Welles' body had been recovered with other firefighters with the FDNY. They had been on their way back up the stairs of the South Tower with the "Jaws of Life," likely to help other survivors to safety.
Gone, but never forgotten. Crowther's selfless act of heroism became a symbol of perseverance, of courage and of hope in the aftermath of 9/11.
"A young man, in his 20s, strong, emerged from the smoke and, over his nose and his mouth, he wore a red handkerchief, "He led those survivors down the stairs to safety and yes he carried a woman on his shoulders down 17 flights, and then he went back.
                                                                                             For Sure A Hero!

Life Motto's

Treat all people with kindness and try not to be so angry.

I shall pass through this world but Once.  Therefore any good that I can do , any  kindness that I can offer to any human being , let me do it now, for I shall not pass this way again.

Never look down on someone unless you are helping them UP!

Never do anything to anyone that you would not like them to do to you.

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

Do good and I will follow you.

Do the right thing for the right reason.

If you can’t do any good then don’t do any  harm.
