Some Velvet Morning ~ Lee Hazelwood & Nancy Sinatra

I never thought much about dragonflies before we lost our boys because of Leukemia. If I thought of them at all, it was only to think that they kept the mosquito population down, or that they were strange and peculiar looking creatures. But then, when we moved to Florida two years ago, they became a …

Mama, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys ~ Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson | Nancy’s Blog

“Don’t let ’em pick guitar or drive them old trucks, make ’em be doctors and lawyers and such …”

So, I know that’s what Waylon and Willie said, but sometimes cowboys are just born, and in spite of a Mama’s best efforts, that’s how they grow up. I have two cowboy sons and one “and such…”! Allyn made it clear from the outset that he was going to be a part of the elite and his tastes were such that cowboyhood never entered his mind. He isn’t a doctor or lawyer, but rather a very successful executive whose talents are in high demand. That’s good … that makes me smile!

What Becomes of the Broken Hearted ~ David Ruffin

I wrote a guest post on my twitter friend’s blog – his name is Jason Bourne, he has Spina Bifida, but that hasn’t stopped him … not for a minute! Please read my post … comment if you can, but please help us find a cure for leukemia. And, please follow Jason on twitter and on his …

Brand New Key ~ Melanie | Nancy’s Blog

“I ride my bike, I roller skate don’t drive no car. Don’t go too fast, but I go pretty far …” Jeff and Brian loved anything with wheels! When they were babies they would scoot around in their walkers, racing around the room on a collision course with just about everything, including each other and me! …

Brass In Pocket ~ The Pretenders | Nancy’s Blog

“‘Cause I’m gonna make you see … there’s nobody else here, nobody like me. I’m special, so special … I’ve got to have some of your attention … give it to me!” As parents, we know that each our children are special! No matter how many we have, whether it is one or, in the …
