A stroke survivor living in Florida & working at getting back to being "me". I write for me because if I don't, the top of my head may just blow off from all the pressure in the there! It will never win any awards but it's enough to amuse me & that's all that matters.

Rest In Peace Ginger

Virginia "Ginger" Hopkins A wonderfully cranky person whom I adored. She was diagnosed with lung cancer and refused treatment. She will be so missed on this plane. These are the last two emails I received from my friend earlier this month. Your memory will never be forgotten my friend & I will forever cherish our arguements. Until we meet again, may you know only happiness at the side of the creator.



IF MY BODY WERE A CAR ...

If my body were a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I 've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull ... but that's not the worst of it.
My headlights are out of focus and it's especially hard to see things up close.
My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather. My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins.
It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently.
But here's the worst of it --


Almost every time I sneeze, cough or sputter.....either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires !

&

The Friendship candle,
Please don't break this even if you only send it to one person. Thanks
NOTICE AT THE END, THE DATE THE CANDLE WAS STARTED. GONNA GIVE YOU GOOSE BUMPS.I am not going to be the one who lets it die. I found it believable ---Angels have walked beside me all my life--and they still do.

********************* This is to all of you who mean something to me, I pray for your happiness and peace. The Candle Of Love, Hope & Friendship



This candle was lit on the 15th of September, 1998.

Someone who loves you has helped keep it alive by sending it to you.Don't let The Candle of Love, Hope and Friendship die! Pass It On To All

Of Your Friends and Everyone You Love!May God richly bless you as you keep this candle burning.

I received this today and I hope it comes back someday again.Please keep this candle alive Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

She got to know my dad in Sept. of 98 when she started working on the casino boat he was a security guard on. I would go on the boat & s with her whenever I saw her. She was so great. I miss her dearly already. I know she's up there giving St. Peter an ulcer & bossing around all the apostles. It's just her way.
