Happy Birthday, Grampa! He would be 84 this year. He passed away from throat cancer when I was pregnant with Steven. I wish Steven could have seen how much Grampa suffered, I don't think he would smoke now if he had witnessed that.
I wish Grampa was still around, he would have loved having so many grandchildren!

My blog about parenting biological and adopted kids, some with everyday kid issues and some with much more serious medical/behavioral issues. I don't care if anyone else ever reads this, my main purpose is for me to have somewhere to vent some of my thoughts, frustrations and successes. If it sounds like I'm complaining, I'm not. My kids are everything to me, I love them more than anything, but sometimes I just need to let it all out!
