Candice's Story
BUCKET LIST OF THINGS TO DO;
Skydive, hot air balloon ride, parasail on land and behind a boat, scuba dive, snorkel in exotic waters, go cross country in US with a 5th wheel, see the glaciers in Alaska, the whales, etc. swim with dolphins, go in a mini sub treasure hunting, pan gold in a rich vein of gold, find the beryl my uncle found by my home of youth, grow blueberries by my house, have a greenhouse so I could stay outdoors longer in the seasons, that's enough for now. The bucket list is much longer but I'm bored, other things to do.
FLASHBACK 1956 - - - - I was the toy of 2 teenagers ever and always being such a tiny one; they said my parents gave permission so I went. Their Dad driving drunk, rear ended vehicle in front of us on Division in Spokane. Me, a baby child of 4, recalls standing holding on under the dash one foot on each side straddeling the hump of axle. Upon impact it thrust my body left face first breaking the windshield. My body endied on the hood, a horriffic and violent event upon my face with deep laceratons reaching to the back of my head and crushing the skeletal system damaging all buds of permanent teeth, and in fact affecting my entire skeletal system. I am not a good person to run into should you have an accident. A fracture occurred where the head attaches to the neck butdid not complete, my son, a young doctor says something so violent should have killed me. It had to have been preordianed ther were others to come through me. My happiest memory was going home from the hospital and being in my parents bed with a sack of jelly beans. My five brothers wete at the end of the bed begging, they always ate theirs fast and begged me for mine. Of course, I shared with my beloved.
MICHAEL MILLER FROM CHENEY WASHINGTON GRADUATED IN THE YEAR 1969
WHERE ARE YOU- - - - - - - MICHAEL MILLER 1969 CHENEY HIGH SCHOOL
There was a MICHAEL MILLER from Cheney, WA who took me to a prom, the most PRINCESS time of my life, truly. iI do not want to invade your privacy, life or relationship/family. Simply wanted to reconnect to tell you a bit how that prom night and the 1 date we had impacted my life, and to thank you for being a sweet sensitive, kind young man.
I've worked, raised mine, and his, which is a 10 pack, we went insane and took 10 kids and a refrigerator to Priest Lake, got married and shoveled food into 10 angry kids faces for a week, traveling in 2 rigs, stopped at a rest stop 130 miles from home. I asked if we had all them, he said yes, me putting the pedal to the medal; speeding tickets cost a mere 5 bucks then, message #27 was my Son Dustin, saying "Mom, you LEFT ME AT THE REST STOP".
Would not recommend blending such a massive number of two groups from two families, instant receipe for insanity for sure. Who knows though, life is not easy, nor do we get any written guarantees. I am sensitive,care about people,, try to help others in pain, my cause and crusade is to stop violence in childdrens lives, have been a Foster Parent for kids. Our system needs a major overhaul and think if more mothers would stop working minimum pay jobs, those who have good parenting skills and up for the challenge to help a child in crisis, could save a child from the ravages of abuse and neglect.
While life in this realm is and never will be perfect, one must continually try to negotiate our friendships, work relationships and personal relationships whether it be marriage or family. We never arrive at perfection so if you are a type A personality, forget it, waste of energy that could be utilized better elsewhere. Yet, choice is everyone's right, our minds are conctrolled by no one but us. That is a fact, reality, and the way it is, so when self sorrow, pity pot, whatever label one chooses, how you see it is how it is, we are continually creating our own reality for perception is reality, as Einstein so perfectly, in this instance put it.
There are some truths learned thus far, they are, real truth is absolute, life teaches, nature nurtures, choice is always ours, the one thing certain is change. My life did not start with a silver spoon, nor was it easy, but the one great gift you receive in getting a double edge sword of suffering is developing empathy. When one can sense suffering in another human being and respond to it, there is no greater honor or gift to give or in fact to receive for the law of nature and of creator is in so giving we do receive.
The other great truth is that it matters not what station in life we are at be it "filthy rich" or "dirt poor" so to speak, hurt, disappointment, joy elation sweetness of love, birth, despair of loss, death, is universal, and it matters not what we have or what we do, we all go through the proccess called life.
My take on what matters is what we do with what we have, do we extend ourselves in kindness or concern, or are we chasing the buck, pious, and because of religious "brand" certain we are right or better than the next. ...Expand for more
We all fall short, all have judged, all do wrong, but do we learn and turn from the wrong? That is the power of that word choice, some of us are so blinded by the want that turns to need that turns to greed we become lustful and miss the whole experience. That's my soapbox-shout, and what I've learned working through much garbage, and mistruths implanted in such innocence when a tiny one. I've come a long way baby, yet better late than never, and it's been well worth the battle of mountains and valleys. Two of my Brothers died losing the battle, so sad indeed, but I do understand how that can and does happen.
If you have taken the fime to read this, hope your life has been healthy, one of great joy, and continues to be.
Believe these words, don't believe, take your truth or trash it, that my friend, is the power of choice, my point exactly.
Rock your life, time is burning.

I'm pretty Irish so get mad, be brutally honest, and get over it quickly. I
The triume God I believe in would be first. Secondly would be people of this realm who give from their heart, speaking of famous, wealthy who acknowledge great suffering of our fellow humans and are stepping up to help. There is no reason anyone should suffer as is going on right now, this minute, this second, it is inhumane, greed, politics, religion, and inflated ego, are some of my thoughts as to the problems.
My inspiration comes from hope that turns to faith that ten turns to worksl
Suffering children of abuse, neglect and abandonment issues. Think I came here to be a Mother, have been mothering someone or something, or so I've been told, since I could toddle about.
I tell them frequently I aspire to be like them, that is absolute truth, they are good, kind, intelligent, loyal, and have healthy self esteems. They have and continue to put their prints upon humanity making a differnece daily to help, heal, bind up and serve daily. What better life could you lead. Yet, too they make room for fun, travel, creativity. All four sing together, beautiful voice, singing love to their bride at marriage. My heart is so full; how did this one become so very lucky to receive these tiny ones to love, cherish, raise up, and enjoy throughout her life. My God is so good, nothing is equal to my children whether they be of birth or the ones called my add-ons.
If I won $100 million, I'd give most of it of it to feed the hungry, then spend the rest on my kids, some on a home for me and some on a place warm to go to.
My current age is 58. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be totally confident totally open. I was so completely still naive, we all are uniquely ourselves..
No, hardly working, I will write, have known for many years and knew when the time was right, inner self would say so. No chore, aspiration to fulfillment, not because of ego, but just because.
My best friend would tell you I'm too hard on myself, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as spiritual.
Nope. I wear what I like, don't pay attention to age appropriate, or style. Still like shorter dresses, and long dresses, feminine, lace, and flowers, that would be me.
I dould care less about brining attention to myself, in fact hate it.
In 10 years, I hope to be the Grandma of many more and in a trusting loving relationship without conditional love. I'm going to get there by faith and serendipity..
Patty, we were little rebels, so much fun, the original skateboarders, finding the most challenging hill, do you know how those babies were made. We rules and we knew it; took out my bro's Tahatsu's w/o permission, ran them to death, I'm sure. Was as tough as any of my 5 brothers. Snuck into the field house at EWSC to jump on the trampolines, play one the gymnastics equpment, one janitor tried to find up, but we were too clever and outhid him.........Some smart butt college kid was making naughty gestures towards me with his hands, me, a little kid, think I flipped him off....well wasn't I just the big shot. I was a force to be dealt with back then, still am, when you merely struggle to survive because of a double edge sword you do indeed fight to survive. It can cause many to misunderstand and misinterpret. That is life, do not know how to change the assertive one now from the fearful timid one of past.
My first job was at a design and drafting and architectural firm, where I got paid 112 dollars every 2 weeks to do all office work and print all plans. What I remember most about it is my boss Alan Mulkey saying "first your money then your clothes". He tried hard to talk me out of getting married at 19, he was right, but did I listen?.
The land next to ours during springtime had standing water about 12" and was solid frog eggs. I loved it, loved the eggs, and loved them growing, from eggs to tadpoles and have loved frogs ever since. There was a grandpa type frog by my Grandma's house where the creek came in, I tried desperately to catch that o'le boy, never did though.
