IMHO: IN MY HUMBLE OPINON How sad it is in todays society that people can not express their thoughts or opinions with out getting some form of backlash from those who do not agree with them. What ever happened to the IT OK TO DISSAGREE? Just because someone might not agree with something 100% does not mean they do not respect others beliefs. I am sorry but I would not want to live in a world where EVERYONE has the same thoughts and feelings about things. We need diversity and difference of options. We are ALL human beings, we ALL have our thoughts and beliefs. Just because we may be at opposite ends of things does not make me think any less of you, and I would hope it would not make you think any less of me!

I get it folks… balloon releases are not environmentally safe, and I am sure Bobbie Thomas knows it as well. It is the FIRST fathers day… and this got them through a extremely emotional time. Let’s help those suffering have their moment and when you find a special balloon somewhere it should not be, say a prayer for the person that felt the need to send it and then make sure its disposed up properly. <3

… Or is it perhaps I am just getting that old? Families used to communicate, especially those that no longer live in the same household. They used to talk to each other, check in with each other, know what they were up to. Some may think this to be intrusive, but when its FAMILY it is not. At least IMHO. If you took a trip you let others know so they knew where you were. What if they needed you for something and reached out only to find you were not even currently in the same state? They would have to scramble for a backup plan I guess. A bigger what if… WHAT IF something happened to you and others did not even know you were not in town… I mean really people think about it… you really should let family know when loved ones are out and about. I mean it’s the family thing to do again, IMHO.

Sometimes we really get a slap of reality and realize that ITS NOT ALL ABOUT YOU. I have made mention of “DNA” and eventually I do plan on actually posting about that sometime in the future. With Father’s day in a few days my emotions have been really all over the place anticipating having another emotional day as I did last year.  I actually went ahead and made plans to take me out of my situation, get me away to a place where just maybe I would wake up on Sunday and not have yet another nervous breakdown. Welp that is not going to happen for sadly we lost two family members in the past few weeks and both of their services are on Saturday. So rather than thinking of myself I am thinking of both families that lost a loved one and working out the logistics on how to show our respect at both functions. Part of me thinks this is God reaching down and giving me a GIBBS!

There used to be a old poem that went something like this….

Friendship is like a chain link fence
Delicate and rare
Once broken can be mended
But the cracks are always there

Words that have truer meaning more then anyone really realize!
