A New Year has begun 2009

Today is New Year's Day...A new year, with new beginnings, new challenges, and new milestones..I am hopeful that life will be better, be happier and healthier for me and the girls..

New Year's Eve was nice at our friends house..There were many people that I had already met and some for the first time..The girls enjoyed themselves..We all got together in the living room and when the ball dropped and 2009 started everyone yelled "Happy New Year" I had one tear in my eye..I thought of all the New Year's we spent together and yelled out those words..My first kiss and hug was from him..I always wished for a better year of health for him, not happiness because we always had our that no matter what..I really missed him last night and I know the girls thought of him and were missing him too..I hugged my girls and kiss them, one at a time..My girls..They are so beautiful..They are going to be an awesome bunch in this world..They are loving, caring and strong young ladies..
Otto if you can hear me as I say it and look as I type this, we have done a great job with our girls..I know you are proud, and you had always told him that you were..Thank you for doing that, for letting them know that before you passed...

We were at Marisol & Carlos' house, just a town over..We ate, drank and had alot of laughs..I truly love them..They became very close friends of ours..Marisol was Otto's chemo nurse..She is one hell of a nurse..She was definitely born to do that job..Carlos is the sweetest man you could ever met, a gentle, loving, caring man..I am so grateful and blessed to have them in our lives...We stayed until 2am and then the girls and I went over to my sister Madeleine's house, she only lives 5 minutes from my house now..We talked and laughed for awhile and finally it was time to go home..The girls and I haven't been out like that, ever..We got home around 3:30am..Jackie was so tired..Kaitlin was still wired, and Megan was holding her own..By the time I got into bed, it was quarter to 4, and I had to read for a little bit, so I went to bed at 4:30am..I slept until 1 this afternoon...I am glad that the holidays are over..They are just to stressful, and tiring...I am now got to concentrate on what I am going to be studying..I have to get myself on that track..I am seriously looking into getting my BS in Paralegal Studies...I have always liked law, and for all of you that know me, I have to knack for research, details, and as Otto used to say I don't miss a thing..My sister started that comment years ago..He just continued on with it...I think I would really like to get into litigation's in a law firm, I don't think I would want to get into government litigation..The really money is in a great law firm..So cross your fingers for me..
