What A Long Week

We had a very long week last week. As you all know my DH's father died of lung cancer early Monday morning. He dies peacefully in his sleep, thank God. On Tuesday we had to tell the girls, Bailey the oldest was crushed, we took her out of school for the week. On Wednesday we had the viewing, DH handled it quite well. The thing that upset him the most is how upset Bailey was, she was a total wreak. Poor Girl, I felt so bad for her and nothing I did made her feel better. We tried to explain to her that he was with his father and no longer in pain but she did not care she just wanted her pop-pop. I do not blame her. Then on Thursday we had the actual funeral, it was beautiful, he was buried with military honors.
My MIL believes that his father came to get him that night, because he was sitting in his chair and reached out to him and was talking to his father. I believe this as well. It's nice to think that someone comes to get you, so that you are not scared.

A Sad Day

It is a sad day in our household. DH's father died of lung cancer this morning. We got the call at 6am, but his mother found him at around 4am. DH has left to go with ML to work out arraignments. We sent our oldest daughter to school this morning, we will tell her this afternoon. She will not be going to school tomorrow unless she really wants to. Well I will update you all later.

Leave Me Your Thoughts

and here is her speech from when she won at NH

What is this world coming to?

I heard today that a man threw his children over a bridge. What is this all about, it make me sick?! What would posses anyone to do this kind of thing? Then I hear that he is not only an illegal immigrant, but has a criminal record in his country. What the hell? Now this story does not having anything to do with race or that only illegals do it. Besides the grotesque nature of this crime, which is obvious, the thing that caught my eye is the fact that anybody can get into our country. In this day and age and with us at war and at great risk, our boarders should be better protected. I know that it is harsh to say, but I believe in closed boarders. How are we supposed to protect ourselves when people can come in at will.
Another thing that gets me about illegals is how cheap they work. Employers hire them and our men lose their jobs, because they believe in an America where you are paid a fair wage for you effort. This is unfair the the legals of this country. Why should we be alienated in our own country by people that did not follow the right avenues to get here.
