from friends who haven't forgotten:
Dear Jayedee,
I am thinking of you today and of your precious child, Jordin. My son's birthday recently passed also. I know how very difficult it is. I really, really tried to think of happy memories of my Daniel, which I was able to do, but bittersweet memories they are and they still bring tears. I hope that you are able to spend the day the way that you want to and that it is as gentle on you as possible. I am sending you sisterly love and hugs!
Suzanne Mama of Daniel...

Jayedee Please try remember that tomarrow was a special birthday. 1979 was the year you gave birth to a wonderful special baby boy You loved him with all your heart and you will always love him and even though JORDIN can not be with you physically JORDIN is still with you emotionally and spiritually. Try to remember the day of his birth and his 1st Birthday and all the ones you did have with him. Remember HE still loves YOU too. Please be gentle to yourself today, tomorrow and always

thank you, joe, for this song. i never knew you even listened to madonna!
Keep, keep it together Keep people together forever and ever
I got brothers, I got some sisters too Stuck in the middle tell you what I'm gonna do Gonna get out of here, I'm gonna leave this place So I can forget every single hungry face I'm tired of sharing all the hand me downs To get attention I must always be the clown I wanna be different, I wanna be on my own But Daddy said listen, you will always have a home
Chorus:
Keep it together in the family They're a reminder of your history Brothers and sisters they hold the key To your heart and your soul Don't forget that your family is gold
I hit the big time but I still get the blues Everyone's a stranger, city life can get to you People can be so cold, never want to turn your back Just givin' to get something Always wanting something back When I get lonely and I need to be Loved for who I am, not what they want to see Brothers and sisters, they've always been there for me We have a connection, home is where the heart should be
(chorus)
Intermediate:
When I look back on all the misery And all the heartache that they brought to me I wouldn't change it for another chance 'Cause blood is thicker than any other circumstance
When I get lonely and I need to be Loved for who I am, not what they want to see Brothers and sisters, they've always been there for me We have a connection, home is where the heart should be
(intermediate) (chorus)
Keep, keep it together Keep people together forever and ever (repeat and fade)
i was just thinking, this morning, how i would put a drop of blue food coloring in your sippy cup and a drop of red in brianna's so i could tell the difference from across the room. isn't it funny where your mind takes you sometimes?
