so.... warning to another of my very cheesy posts- if you are the type who doesn't love shows of affection ...enter at your own risk LOL
I know some other people have posted the feeling the love thing..... but yesterday was a very very special emotional day for me, so here it goes:
I said goodbye/hope to see you very soon- yesterday (Thursday as is Friday here already) to a girl who came very recently into my life, as my carer to work at my home and ended up being one of those Earth Angels God sends me once in a while.... when I am dangerously in the verge of the dark place (very ill physically and trying to mother a teenager in a very hostile/far from my own cultural background society)
I'm a person of great faith, thanks to some of you here, I keep it strong... but people know my reluctancy , bad experiences with the many religions in my family have made me not follow one house of worship...I have seen my fair share of people doing very un- Christian/un-Godly things even though they turn up in church/ temple/synagogue every time..... so my heart really REALLY grows in faith when I find this very Christian/Good Children of God people...- I have found many of you here, and this girl (her name is Nina) has now really marked my life that way....but she had to go back to Brazil as she came to visit and her son is a teen and of course needs her at home, but the kid is planning to do Uni here so she is planning a trip back in August or September for another couple of months it was a bit of see you later not goodbye.....still... we cried..a LOT.
What this woman did for me -worked MANY hours without getting paid, refused to take the money of my hands, talked to Sarita to try make her understand certain things and a lot more- is priceless and I am grateful for the time spent together and hopping the next 5 months go fast as she is coming back.
Then I come here..... and the love is so powerful, the participation of so many of you so amazing and making such a positive mark in my own - not only scrapping but life in general- every day....
I am delighted to see so many of you from MOC 3 last year coming back, so many people whom I have shared so much, so beautiful 5 years ago now again under the same "roof"...and so many amazing new people whom with I have so much in common, others whom I learn from as we are so different....as we keep saying, this community is such a source of love for many of us.....
I really hope you guys stick to the house after MOC is done... as I feel like a sister to so many of you already.
Bear with me, I'm a bit of a one brain cell function, but I am getting to everyone's gallery, promise.
and answer the threads....
Pollys: You know I admired and appreciated all your hard work always (even if I had moaned here or there in the past to some of you LOL) but now being on the other side, I see it even more.... and appreciate the effort you make ...especially in the gallery lately... where you most certainly do not need to come comment in my pages but still do...and what amazingly awesome comments too.
For all the support I have had from most of you one to one too I am hugely, HUGELY thankful.....and my faith & hope keeps strengthening each and every day thanks to so many of you.
Designers: I love you all. This was what initially draw me to the Pad: it was the only place where I loved ALL designers. Nothing has changed, or if it has, is for the better as we have even more of you....
I know some of you whom I love dearly are keener on the more clean & simple, minimalist stuff so sometimes am even afraid to grab your kits as I think my messy, super full pages could make you cringe.... but I get nothing but amazing response from all of you....
and to "MY" designers, all of you who were amazing to give me a place in your teams 3 years ago.....(or much longer ago in some cases!!!!!) I apologize I haven't been giving you the attention you deserve.... I'm just getting my one brain cell to work, but I will get there, promise.
To our mother hen,
this awesome woman, mum, wife, daughter, scrapper, business lady, friend, and whatever category you want to include her (she will most certainly shine in all!)... I honestly wish there was something I could do, give you a present or say something that could show the amazing, incredibly healing power your presence in my life has had since I met you (and you entered my books high up with my mum...the most amazing woman I know on earth) I thought about making you some gluten free food, cookies, something.... not sure how the post laws go but I will try find...still wont even start explaining the love.
Apologies to the ones of you whom (British sisters especially
) are not the affectionate, showing emotion type.... but our therapist (doing some cognitive with Sarita see if we can put a stop to our mutual murdering feelings towards each other ) has told me that is good to speak out, and that will strengthen my power to keep on fighting.
so, that's it.
If you are still reading.......
I love you.
(and, once again, The Pad is awesome even after MOC ...really really hope to still have you down the road, and, if you are in Europe or keen to travel this way...we maybe meeting this summer!!!!!!)
