Meet My Friends Monday #1

Today I'm starting to play "Meet My Friends Monday",a weekly meme by my dear friend Toni@"It is Nap Time".
This meme is about introducing to you my blogging buddies!
And who better to start with then its creator!?

So this week I'm introducing to you (you probably know her just as good, not to say better than,as me!):

Toni is a wonderful lady and a great friend.
She lives in the American State of Tennessee with her hubby and 2 years old baby boy Hunter, whom  I dearly call "Lil'Cowboy".
She was my entrance to the blogging world in English, cause at the time I only posted in Portuguese.I remember that my 1st comment I left her was about a spider!
Toni runs 2 blogs: "It is Nap Time" and "Creating Life".
In the 1st one she portraits her life as Mom,Wife and Woman.In the 2nd one she tells us her adventure in getting little Hunter a sibling.
I always love to read what she's got to say!
Not to mention that I LOVE our chatting! ;)
Well,there's so much I could say about her that I'd be going on and on forever!
But if you wanna know this friend of mine a bit better just hop over her blogs!
Toni, you ROCK!

Thank You God

I've just finished watching Oprah and my heart is completely tore... We're quite behind comparing to you my fellow Americans...I was watching this episode about Oprah's TV contest "Big Give" and her guest were Simon Cowell and Jamie Oliver...
Then she introduced a couple with a 3 year old baby girl who has this sever kind of cancer...
I kept crying through the entire episode...
I can not even imagine that mother's suffering...
That mother who couldn't keep her self from crying each time her baby girl started to cry cause she wanted to go home when she knew that she had to stay in the Hospital for the quimio
treatment...Each time her baby girl had to withdraw blood...And each time she had to brush her baby girl's hair which was falling due to the quimio...
Oprah's crew taped it all...
And I'm still crying...
Thank you Lord!Thank you, thank you, thank you...Cause you have blessed me with healthy children...
I pray that they keep growing healthy like they are...
I hope I have never to experience such pain...
I've had my older boys submitted in the Hospital when they were babies due to respiratory infections (a.k.a. bronchiolitis) for 15 days...All together it turned out to be 30 (15 for each one in the space of 2 years)...
For 14 nights I slept on the floor next to their crib...I never left them by them selves with the nurses or so...
I've hold them in my arms to keep them from struggling while the nurses and doctors looked for a "good vein" for the IV...
I hold them while their lil'noses were invaded by thick plastic tubes (90% of the times there was a lot of blood) but I stood there and didn't even turn my face to look away...
It hurts to a mother to see all of this...
It hurts to feel that there is nothing we can do to make their pain go away...
And still, this is nothing compared to the pain I saw in that mother's eyes...
I have a 3 year old boy...That makes me relate to her even more...
I take back all the complaining about my life...I take back all I've wished for this Xmas...
All I ask is that my kids live long and healthy...
I'm sorry girls for this "never-ending"post...
I was really needing to share my thoughts with you...
God bless you all.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY--14th Edition

Eric-2007 Xmas

When The Night Comes Down...

The day comes to an end...

And the Moon takes her place in the sky...

The weather is cold and windy outside...
All I feel like is watching Tv cuddling in the couch...

And there she is...
Like a Queen ruling her Kingdom...
