Happy birthday, Keetz

In Honor & Memory of our beloved Batgirl, Kyria on her 18th birthday! Love you 4eva, Keetz!

Finally Home

When alarmed by the fury of the restless sea,
Towering waves before you roll,
At the end of doubt and peril is eternity,
Though fear and conflict seize your soul

Just think of stepping on shore, and finding it heaven
Of touching a hand, and finding it God's
Of breathing new air, and finding it celestial
Of waking up in Glory, and finding it "Home"

One month....

One month ago today, we got the call... At 4:48 this afternoon, Aunt Nat left a message on my voice mail that would shake my world completely.  It was the earth shattering reminder of how short life really is.

Happy 4th! Wish you were here to enjoy it with us, Keetz!

Just a few questions...

This song just came on my Pandora... ::tear::

Miss you terribly Keetz!  It is NOT fair that you were taken so soon...  but I know God has a purpose in it all.  (I only wish he would show us what that purpose is)...

An' why did my cousin,  have to die...? 

A good kid, only seventeen, 
I still wonder 'bout that.

It seems unfair to me,

Some get the chance to chase their dreams, 

An' some don't. 

But what do I know?

I wasn't there the day, you filled up the oceans. 

I didn't get to see you hang the stars in the sky. 

So I don't mean to second guess you, 

Or criticize what I don't understand. 

These are just a few questions I have"

"Look mommy...  Look! I drewd dis batman jus for Keetza!"

In Memory of you....

Since we couldn't be there for Keetz's memorial on Friday... we only though it be great to create her a tribute on the "Most beautiful beach in the US"!

In memory of Kyriaki Hunton on Siesta Key Beach, Sarasota, FL...

Death or Life?

Just finished having a long discussion with some JW's. What part of "free gift" is so hard to understand? When you're given a gift you are not required to work for it, in order to keep it! And death doesn't meaning lying dormant in a grave until judgment - it's life with Christ forever!! God gave his son as the ultimate sacrifice, so that if we believe, we can spend eternity with Him in Heaven... always & forever!! Yes, we are all sinners... and no not one of us deserve such a gift.... but praise the Lord, God's grace is not contingent on our righteousness (or lack thereof)!! 

Keetz, all that time spent, was for u!! I *know* you're in Heaven now, looking down on me... & I am so happy I'll see you again, someday! <3  Miss you so much!

♫ " Memories surround me; But sadness has found me; I'd do anything for more time. Never before has someone meant more; And I can't get you out of my mind. There is so much that I don't understand; But I know... You're dancing with the angels; Walking in new life! You're dancing with the angels; Heaven fills your eyes!  Now that you're dancing with the angels!

    You had love for your family; Love for all people; Love for the Father, and Son; Your heart will be heard; In your unspoken words; Through generations to come; There is so much that I don't understand; But I know... You're dancing with the angels; Walking in new life! You're dancing with the angels; Heaven fills your eyes!  Now that you're dancing with the angels!

  We're only here for such a short time; So I'm gonna' stand up, shout out, And sing Hallelujah!  One day I'll see you again!! 

    You're dancing with the angels; Walking in new life! You're dancing with the angels; Heaven fills your eyes!  Now that you're dancing with the angels! ♫

Shock, horror & disbelief!

Please pray for our family. We received word yesterday afternoon, that our (B's) 17 year old cousin, died in a swimming incident. Details as to what really happened are still being investigated. The whole family is in a total state of shock and disbielf.. and her mother is really having a hard time coping. We know Keetz believed in Christ, and was saved - so she is in a better place... But it still doesnt make the pain of a young, vibrant life taken way too soon, any easier.

RIP Keetz.... we love you!!
