Just Needed A Reminder

I think I forgot why I started this blog, and need a little kick in order to remember. I think I may publish more now that I've revisited that era of my life. Who knows? 


Where do I start? I guess that's a question everybody starts out with. How bout a story? All right...Once Upon A Time in a far away land there lived a lovely family, in Farmington. They were the kindest, sweetest, most sentimental family to ever walk the face of the planet. There was a mother and wife; Betty Lou. There was the father and husbad; Billy Bob. A grandmother; Margarette. Lastly there was a handicapped daughter diagnosed with severe cancer named Faith. This story is not like any other fairy tale, because in this story we don't end with "happily ever after." You see, Faith, was over come by her cancer at the age of 39. She had lived to see a prosperous life, she had acheived what others didn't believe she could acheive, she had a heart of gold, a heart of warmth, and the courage of god by her througout her entire life. This story doesn't end happily because Faith has gone home now, to fly, fly away into the world of pearly gates, white clouds, and to meet the almighty creator himself. Faith, and her story is a true story.


I decided to create a blog to let everyone know exactly what I'm thinking, a place to vent, a place to cry, a place to laugh, and just a place to write. I'm here in honor of "Faith." I'm here to tell her story and my story. I decided in this first blog what "Don't Ride," means. It goes along with the quote "just ride that roller coaster of life." Well my feelings are Don't Ride. If we sit on this ride of life all we end up doing is letting ourselves watch the world pass by only to back to the beginning. I say "Don't Ride," live, learn about this rollar coaster you're on, let your inspiration and intuition get the best of you! Life is a one time thing. I learned from faith that all though she was handicapped nothing was going to get in her way of climbing that mountain. But what impresses me the most is she, in an essence, climbed that mountain for herself. She didn't climb it to please those non-believers she climbed it to live her own life. She climbed it to show herself "if i can do this I can do anything." Faith will be missed on this Thanksgiving day, she will be the inspiration that guides me to the top of the mountain, she will be the wind beneath my wings, and she will be the reason I don't sit and ride I will live and let live.
