My TICK TICK is back!!!

Yesterday was my church's - Church Anniversary 114 years!!! :clap2: I've only been apart of the church for about 5 years now. In that 5 years I gained a best friend *Pastor's wife Karla M. Thomas* she passed in June of this year at 41 she left behind 4 awesome kids and 1 bad to tha bone grandson.   Her daughter Tick Tick got angry and didnt talk to me for 2 1/2 months :phanvan   But yesterday something happend she hugged me said she was sorry and she thanked me for loving her when she didnt want me to. She 17 years old her mom is gone she is the only girl. I look at her like she is my own, I can't even explain the many emotions that I felt when I held her and she said she loved me. :think     This makes me want to rush this Lap band thing even more I need to have more energy to help her and give her attention and time. :scared:     I guess I said all of this to say LOVE and SHOW LOVE to your loved ones!   If you were to leave this earth today, would you have someone to show love and care for what you have left?   TELL SOMEONE YOU LOVE THEM, DEVELOP A RELATIONSIP WITH YOUR KIDS, TELL THEM YOU LOVE THEM ALTHOUGH they can disobey us we have to embrace them daily!!!   I never thought my bestfriend would have left me with such a task!   But it is well with me KARLA take your rest I LOVE YOU & I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN. :angel: :angel: :angel:   LOVE YA TERESITA AND DOUG-P
