Patricia's Story

June 15, 2009 The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Teresa Blackwelder, because we were friends, no matter what! I hope my old friends will remember me as honest, loyal, and trustworthy...I believe these qualities are the least sought after to define one's self, but are the most sought after qualities, when defining a friend! I always wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a an okay idea. As it turns out, they were wrong, it was an Awesome idea! I loved teaching and totally enjoyed educating my three boys! My inspiration for life, I completely credit my Mother for, who I am...With out her guidance, who knows where I would be, and in what shape my boys would have ended up...She taught me to accept responsibility for my actions and choices, show kindness towards others, and to never, ever be greedy...Others may need it more than you!!! What I have learned from my boys is not pretty, lol...I now see that my Mother's "butting in" was infact, the ultimate way of expressing her love for me...I now know, that no matter how much you may for your babies, it may never come to be...I now see, it will take time for them to learn how to be an unselfish, productive and caring person/adult...I can only hope it is not to late when they "get it"...If they ever do, (hehe)...Finally, no matter how hard you try, you are still old, and out of it, or you don't get it! I will never understand them or how they feel or what they are thinking...LOL...Guess I was never their age, atleast that seem to be what they think! :) --------------------------------------- Re-posted: June 2009 To Remember When Remember When, But Don't Forget... Long ago, was such our time... Propelled we are, to re-create... To see and feel, our wonder years... Think is all, we have to do... Closer shall, we ever be... In our minds, remains it still... Close your eyes, to see it clear... Time once lost, no more it is... Propelled no more, it has returned... Enjoy your time, that still remains... To close your eyes, would be a shame! copy right 2008 Revised 2009 P. Edwards --------------------------------------- 1st Update Factoids: June 2009 Since I joined classmates, our family has had many new experience; some were extremely nice, and others, well lets say, I could have done without! But that old saying; "That's Life", definitely applies to me and my family...I'm positive we ...Expand for more
will continue to be tested; my world, my family, and most importantly, those which I so wish to protect, are out of my control...We have control over our actions, sometimes! :) We have control regarding what we accept to be true...We have control to whom we associate with...We have control, with the right to "Vote", who represents in Washington D.C....But no matter how hard you may try: There are many things we have no control! would like to change, postpone, or wish we had the power to prevent an event from becoming part of our past, we can't! That's Life! --------------------------------------- (My 1st Factoids; sometime in 2008) John and I have been married for over 21 years and knew each other about two years, prior to him putting on his ball and chain (or me bearing the weight of our world)...Only the women will get the "The Bearing the Weight" joke)...lol...At one time, I would have describe us as happily married, but now I say we were happy, but now we are really married...This is not a bad thing, as a marriage matures it changes...With changes; comes comfort and purpose...We can't see our lives with out the other, unless one "Ps" the other off...Then its easy to envision, but for the most part, we love, and like, each other...I believe he would say the same about me...He had better, if he knows whats good for him ;o) This was the first (marriage) for the both of us, and has taken an enormous amount of work, but doesn't anything that is worth keeping...Due to our tenacity and commitment,( or was it the wine, I can't remember...lol) we have had 23 years of some of the most unbelievable moments, some good, some bad, and some off the charts in both directions! We have three "wonderful" boys! This explains the off the charts in both directions ;o] But all in all, I would have to say they are great! But they are boys, and what more do I have to say...Well lots, but that's a whole different story...LOL...Brandon is 20, Shawn is 19, and my baby... (boohoo...you can see the tears, right?) Travis is 17...They are my Reason...(And no I'm not joking this time)...I love them with everything plus more...In algebra would that be? (3X)+more=my love... I haven't done algebra in a loooong, looooong time, so if I'm wrong, don't laugh at me...k...We also have Puddles...She can make anyone of us smile at any given time...Regardless of the current circumstances...We are still a work in progress...Keep checking back!
