Nieces and Love....


Ughhhh, have you ever just had one of those days of months when things just don't go right. Well, I am kinda feeling that way when it comes to my niece. You see she got a job and I have been having to take her back and forth and it never fails that we get into some kind of argument before we reach the door. Usually it's over stupid stuff and just attitudes. I tell myself that she is only 16, yet I guess I expect her to be more grown up. Hummmm, I try not to do that, but I always seem to say something stupid that gets her upset or we misunderstand each other. Kind of reminds me of my daughter Beckiah. She and I would get upset at each other all the time. I wonder if it is because we are so much alike. Have you ever had one of those days where you love them to death but yet you get mad over the slightest thing? I think it is a parent thing and years after they are out of the house, you look back and wonder what all the fuss was about. I am thinking sometimes I need to just not say anything, but you know how moms are, well Aunts, lol. Even when we love them, we have to put in our two cents worth and teens are the same. But I think they like to put in the whole pot of money. But hey, thats just me, lol. But no matter what, I do love my niece and I am glad she is here, even when I don't do a good job at showing her and when we get upset and she rolls her eyes at me and wonders what the heck is up with me and what did she do wrong... On most days she didn't do anything wrong, I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Hummmm, wonder if there are any other parents or teens that have done that. But all in all I have a pretty awesome niece even when I am mad at her, I still love her. I don't think she believes that though. She just sighs when I tell her that. Something like, "yeah, whatever" and she goes on about her business. But I do pray that one day she realizes that she has someone that loves her so much that she puts up with the arguing and even some fun times. I do need to make a Bridgette and Me day. It has been a long time. Hummm, well have to think on what to do about that. We don't do that enough at all. But one day when she thinks back on her life, I pray that a bleak memory comes to her and says that she was loved and someone cared enough to get mad and love her even when she didn't want to show the love back.

You Were Loved by Whitney Houston


We all wanna make a place in this world
We all want our voices to be heard
Every one wants a chance to be someone
We all have dreams we need to dream
Sweeter than any star you can reach
Cuz when you reach and find, you've found someone
You'll hold this world's most priceless thing
The greatest gift this life can bring
Is when you look back and know
You were loved

[Chorus:]
You were loved by someone
Touched by someone
Held by someone
Meant something to someone
Loved somebody
Touched somebody's heart
Along the way
You can look back and say (mm)
You were loved (yes you were)

You can have diamonds in your hands
Have all the riches in the land
But, without love,
You don't really have a thing, no no
When somebody cares that you're alive
When somebody trusts you with their life
That's when you'll know (huh)
That you have all you need
You'll hold this world's most priceless gift
The finest treasure that there is
You can look back and know
You were loved

[Chorus:]
You were loved by someone
Touched by someone
Held by someone
Meant something to someone
Loved somebody
Touched somebody's heart
Along the way
You can look back and say (mm)
Yes, You were loved (yes you were now)

So many roads that you can take
Whatever way you go
Don't take that road alone
It's better you should know

[Chorus:]
You were loved by someone
Touched by someone
Held by someone
Meant something to someone
Loved somebody
Touched somebody's heart
Along the way
You can look back and say (mm)
You did okay
You were loved
