Sorry I've Been Missing In Action Lately


I want to apologize to my followers for me being missing in action lately. Giveaways are slow for me since the Christmas Holiday, but I'm trying hard to get some great products to review , and of course giveaway to you! Lately my hands have been full. I recently had to go to a funeral for a good friends Mom. She lived a lovely life , and was 86 at her passing. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease several years back, and fought right up until the end. She was such a wonderful lady, and will be missed terribly! It's so hard to console the family that just lost a very dear person. What does one say to them?

My mother has Alzheimer's Disease too, and let me tell you, it is one of the toughest things to watch someone you love go through. Alzheimer's Disease slowly attacks your brain, and you forget things as you go. Some people can deal with this for years and others have a shorter life. I pray to god each day and Thank god for giving me another day with Mom. It's hard to care for someone you love, but this is what god had planned for me I guess.

If I could have one wish it would be to have my mom back, the mom that raised me and taught me right from wrong, the mom that helped me when I was down, the mom that cared for me when I was sick, the mom that helped with me my school work. I know it's impossible for this wish, as this is the cards she was dealt. I do my best, spend as much time with her, but most of all, put a huge smile on her face! When she visits me , all she wants to do is hear Kenny Rogers, enjoy a nice cup of Java, and of course have a few oatmeal cookies. She knows all the words to his music to. I recently took her to see him in concert right before Christmas. She loved it!

Thanks for being the best followers ever. I will be back later on to post some more giveaways as they come. I have some great makeup for review & giveaway, so check back soon, it should be posted tonight or tomorrow. I hope the New Year is going well for you all. I wish you all the best of the New Year. May good things come your way, and of course good health for you and your family!! I'll be back soon with some intersting giveaways!!


P.S. If you didn't know it I'm a Pooh lover  & Eeyore too!!!



Cheers,
