FREE: ♒BACKYARD BIRDS♒2015 CALENDAR in BIG Print ~ NIP FREE SHIP~HAPPY NEW YEAR!٩(◠◡◠)۶

Thank you so much for saying that. =) The large print sounds great. She just got home from a physical rehabilitation center so her hospital bed is set up to where she can still watch the birds. This would be the christmas gift that dreams are made of for her. She's a woman with a bit of everything & always says she needs nothing. I hope for many years with her still & I will watch this until the end. :-)

My grandma is 84 years old & a HUGE bird watcher, since she is bed bound. She would LOVE this! I am definitely watching & already fanned you. =)

Thank you. =)

I am so sorry to hear you lost them so close together. That is truly awful. I know the years don't heal the pain as they should. I will most certainly keep you "peace of mind & heart" in my prayers. I lost my dad at 15 to lung cancer so it's just us now. His mom, who I love so, so much & my mom, who is 58 & in stage 3B renal failure & then when my Grandma fell & broke her hip & arm I didn't think she would ever recover. She is an incredibly strong woman. She has lost 3 children since my dad. I'm 28 now, so within 13 years. One of the strongest women I know. She tells me everytime she sees me that I remind her so much of my dad. It breaks my heart, but I know that brings her joy. Last Christmas, since she is the woman who tells everyone not to get her anything, I built her a birdhouse & planted it on a post outback so she could see it from her sitting room & bought a stick of bird feed to hang from it. I LOVE watching her eyes light up when she sees the blue jays & cardinals that come to that bird house. You are INCREDIBLY sweet for that offer. It literally made my eyes tear up. I will be watching this to the VERY end & if it takes every credit I have, I'll bid & bid. You are a wonderful woman, obviously & survived your trials in life. I couldn't have ran across a more PERFECt auction with a sweeter person who posted it. You've put a genuine smile on my face & made my day. God bless you for that.

Linda, your name I definitely will never forget & I very much look forward to staying in touch with you, a friend indeed. My mom is just a year older than you are & that brings me comfort knowing I can talk to someone as kind as you. =)

Thank you so much. That means more than you know. :) Not many people in the (my) world like you.

That is VERY touching & you are so right. I think there are allot of factors that play into people's attitudes & lack of humanity sometimes. My world has started to be a bit of an isolated one, unfortunately. I won't let other's keep me down though. I have a HUGE heart & a LOT of love to go around. I really like how you put that. I didn't mean to start this convo on your auction... but I am glad it happened regardless. I'm sure you are an amazing mom, knowing you have a child my age, I can say... your kids are lucky. :)

That's true, your auction, your conversation. :) It's ok. It is agoraphobia from PTSD that I am working on & through. As you said, if you can do it (& with having 6 kids & such a full life) then I can too! That did actually give me a bit of a boost. Love & Hugs back your way Mama Bear Linda. =)
