family: Apologies and a Heavy Heart - 11/29/09 10:50 AM
The story started with my son on the U.S.S Kitty Hawk and feeling lonely. He wrote an email to me with the intent of everyone ‘hearing' his apology for not staying in touch while he was serving his country. As a mom, I was more concerned with the way he wrote … (27 comments)

family: Customs, Origins, Ethnicities and an Open Mind - 11/24/09 10:46 AM
In a large forum such as ActiveRain, we will run across many views and opinions from each member. Being mindful of another's customs are surely a sign of respect for another group of people ‘who are not like you'. After seeing a few news articles and then seeing Terry Chenier's post … (34 comments)

Father's Day is a day to pay tribute to your father (dad or pop), stepfather, your mom (brothers or sisters) who play the part of dad too or anyone who has made a significant impact on you enough so you call them 'dad'.
This is a very emotional time for me … (17 comments)

family: Let Your Dreams Blossom - 05/10/09 12:16 AM
There is something so extraordinary about the bond that mothers have with their children. When my children graduated from high school I told both of them...to spread their wings and grow. Mothers guide their children the best they know how to do but ultimately each and every child leaves that nest and has … (47 comments)

family: A Token of Appreciation - 04/03/09 01:26 PM
Sometimes we have to show our loved ones that we are thinking about them with a caring note or a small token of appreciation.
But a Dragon with sharp (really sharp) teeth?

My English Cocker Spaniel, Shadow, does not like the vacuum cleaner. She's NOT one of those dogs that barks at it or tries to chase it around. When she sees us go towards the closet with the vacuum in it she immediately runs in the bedroom, jumps on the bed and makes sure she … (30 comments)
