Sunday Scribbling - "Who Else Can I Still Be"
.jpg)
There are so many things I'd like to have done in my life but fate had a different plan.
I can still be a loving wife, making sure he does not get overwhelmed in my care. Hiring extra hands so he can remain a "husband" and not just my caregiver.
I can still be a good mother by allowing my kids to make mistakes and get themselves out of their own binds. Spending quality time with them by allowing them to assist in my care when they need to. I want them to live their lives now and allow me to live mine.
I can still be a loving grandma by showing love through my eyes. Teaching compassion and empathy. The gift of my blog showing them my words of love.
I can still inspire others to have faith, hope and live every day as a gift.
I can still pray for others.
I can still fight.
I can love.

You can and are an inspiration. I love how you good mother your children.....letting them be, being there for them but especially for this line, 'i want them to live their lives now and allow me to live mine'. These are words to parent by.
thank you.
Your list of things you can do are all very good things.
I love the photo! How did you do the multi-polaroid effect?
Wow, Tammy, that is really nice.
Faithful observance of potential; refusal to rest in regret. That is what you bring us all - whether blood family, or unseen family out here, grateful for you every day.
Clearly, you give so much, Tammy.
O! Tammy! YOU are LOVE! prayers for you too! xoxoxox ps, GLAD to seeeeeeeeeeee Manny is going to be in the wedding! He looks chipper!
I have to agree with acumamakiki that you are an inspiration. When ever I read your blog and as in this post you remain so unselfish and worried of others and making sure their happiness is what matters. your true fighting spirit should be an inspiration to us all. Keep on keepin' on. Your childern as blessed to have you as their mother.
the hardest for me... letting them fix thier own messes. life just seems so hard naturally and i want to fix whatever i can while i still can. That one really resonated with me
you are a wonderful, great person; you can still be and always be that
I've told you before, you definitely inspire. And I know you pray for others. You told me so. Your writing gets better and better my friend. Thanks for sharing your words with us.
Whatever we may face, whatever circumstances come our way, we can all still fight and we can all still love. I guess it's what makes us human. At the end of the day, these are the most important things. Beautiful post and a gorgeous picture.
I am in awe of your beautiful spirit.
Tammy, you are so wonderful! I love coming here to read what you say because i know that you always uplift. You are an inspiration and something for us all to aspire to be like.
I am glad that Manny is doing well too. :)

You really do inspire through your blog! Don't forget it. ;) Your heart is as big as the sky, I think. They are all lucky to have you!
btw, I like your 9/11 rememberance. I saw that movie today, and it is good to not forget these people or that day.

Everything you do, you do fabulously well. You are the rarest of jewels, angel woman.

Greetings Libra Warrior!
I am finally able to open your blog page... YAY!!!
In response to...
I can still be a good mother by allowing my kids to make mistakes and get themselves out of their own binds.
I stand behind this belief 100%
Though my fifteen year old daughter has yet to make any mistakes (what??... note I said "yet"), my Knight is the one I had to cut this umbilical cord from. Though we remain together in Love, yet live miles apart, I have to let go of his emotional baggage and learn to "let him be" while he makes mistakes. I do offer my wisdom and guidance... only when asked for.
Here's to Faith!... you have it ALL Woman!
Enjoy the Day!

I know others have stated this already here - but I just wanted to chime in and let you know - you, your life and your words, are an inspiration to me, too!
What a beautiful Picture!
