Just a little reminder to all my readers to stop right now and send an email, text message, make a phone call or turn around and tell someone how much they mean to you.
Because you know that saying “You never know what’ll happen tomorrow?” Well, its true. I never once actually thought it could happen to me – never did I think someone I loved would actually truly be taken away before I could say goodbye. For Pete’s sake, that stuff happens in movies, not in my life.
But I want to remind you right now that life does what it wants. Take the time now to tell everyone in your life how much they mean to you. Because you never know what’ll happen tomorrow. And on that note, I want to give a shout-out to a few people in my life:
- Dave, Mike & Dean: Although we all live so far apart, you all mean so much in my life. Thank you for being my uncles – thank you for making a difference in my life. Thank you for reading my moms emails and for responding to them. She loved emailing you all so much! I love you.
- Dad: Thank you for talking when I had no word. Thank you for knowing what I cannot describe. Thank you for being strong and not giving up on me. I love you more than I can explain.
- Heidi, Alicia and Melinda: Thank you for sharing mom with me. I see mom in each of you and am so glad she was able to teach us the importance of sticking together, the four of us. Thank you for going through this with me. I love you.
- Mike, Dan & Nate: Thank you for taking care of my sisters, especially over the past couple of months. Thank you for giving them the extra hugs they needed, thank you for wiping their tears and most of all, thank you for loving them.
- Carlos: Thank you for taking the brunt of my heartache – for helping me pick up the pieces and figuring out how to put everything back together again. I’ve got a long ways to go but cannot imagine doing this without you. Thank you for loving me at my worst.
- Dori, Amanda, Nicole, Michelle, Kirsten, Deanna, Stacie, Syl, Carla, Annabel, Jenny and all my friends: Thank you for continuing to send me smiles, for continuing to check in on me and for keeping me busy. Now more than ever I have realized how much you all mean to me.
- To all my blogging readers, commenters & those who read from a distance: Thank you for being there. Thank you for your continued prayers, motivation, encouragement and support. Each of who who come here make a difference in my life. I can never repay the blogging world for what you have done for me. I hope to pay it forward.
That’s it, that’s all I wanted to say – back to your regularly scheduled program!

Haha! My mom is so funny. She was not happy about the situation either. Of course, after her lovely face, I had to show the camera… and you guys… how I felt too! “Lindsay – how do you feel about closing being compromised because the bank is run by a bunch of morons who have had a LONG time to get their stuff together, but haven’t…?”
Ha! I feel MAD! Hahahaha I look pretty…. special in that one there! I’m extra angry, apparently.
