i'm starting to move stuff into my apartment in omaha and being the hoarder/pack rat that i am (thanks mom), last night i came across all of the old greeting cards that i have received over the past three years. i found a 'thinking of you' card from grandma. of course it made me bawl. i just became so overwhelmed with the amount of love she had for each and every one of us. simply amazing. i miss her so so much.

on a happier note. it is fact that lori makes the BEST chocolate cake i have ever tasted (and i've had a lot). might i propose that she brings some to the next family gathering so everyone can try? :) seriously. so good. THANK YOU lori (and i still can't wait to see your house)! i have the best aunts ever.

love you all and can't wait to see you again!

What Is A Dad?
A Dad is a person who is loving and kind,
And often he knows what you have on your mind.
He’s someone who listens, suggests, and defends -
A dad can be one of your very best friends!
He’s proud of your triumphs, but when things go wrong,
A dad can be patient and helpful and strong
In all that you do, a Dad’s love plays a part -
There’s always a place for him deep in your heart.
And each year that passes, you’re even more glad,
more grateful and proud just to call him your dad!

Thank you all for being a part of my life and for being such wonderful fathers to my nieces, nephews and boys.  Love--Lolo

Sisters

"Sisters are different flowers from the same garden"

I am lucky to have 3 sisters. (and some pretty great sisters-in-law)
We all have different personalities, and yet we are all bound together by our garden.
Having a sister means you always have someone who loves you.
You always have someone who understands where you're coming from, even if you're wrong.
Having a sister means you have someone who will laugh at you and with you and chuckle just thinking about you later on.
Having a sister means you always have a shoulder to cry on...
even if that shoulder is hundreds of miles away.

One of my regrets in life is that I didn't give Taryn a sister, Carrie, Wendy, Ashley, Tori, Paige & Jade...I hope she can always find that "sisterhood" with you.   Love you All!!
