Lydia Jessamine Edwards Lanahan (December 27, 1979-April 17, 2008)

So, it has been a year today (April 17th) that my very dear, sweet friend commited suicide. Me and her were pregnant together. I remember her coming to my house big and pregnant and soo happy. She gave birth to a little boy, Cooper about a week after I gave birth to my daughter, Presley. Then, when her son was 4 months old, she took her life, leaving behind her husband, son, & friends that loved her so much. My heart has ached eversince I got that phone call, and still aches so much now. I constantly think of her and miss her so much. My dreams always have her in them. I think of her little boy, who no longer has his mommy and who never really got to know her. She was a WONDERFUL, sweet person, who had ALWAYS wanted children. She worked at a daycare and children swarmed to her and loved her. She was in a sense, a child herself. She enjoyed life and everything in it. Her style was unique and so "her". I was fortunate enough to inherit her clothes when she passed. I don't wear them, but I have a very special place for them. Maybe one day I will figure out what to do with them, but for now, they are with me. She was a friend I ALWAYS looked forward to seeing, which was not often enough. But when we did meet up, it would last until dawn, giggling and teasing and doing fun things, like jumping on the trampoline or swinging at a park. Lydia, I will always think of you and love you. I know I will meet you again, and see you in my dreams. Take care Mama, and know you are so missed!

Now that I am completely depressed, I need VGNO to make me happy and get my mind off of things. Can you help me out, mama's??

Here is a little game to play:

see what your Librarian's Alter Ego name is.
First Name=Kim
A - E: Bubbles
F - J: Cookie
K - O: Pepper
P - T: Honey
U - Z: Pebbles

Last Name= Delatorre
A - E: Featherbottom
F - J: Ivanabee-Queen
K - O: Rhea-Listik
P - T: Anitacocktail
U - Z: Mona-Lott

Wow, Pepper Featherbottom! LOL! My bottom certainly has no muscle tone and I suppose it could be compare to a feather, so that is perfect! :)

Now, head on over to Anne's and join the party! Let's have a great party night, I SOO need it!

I am so sorry for your loss. Perhaps you can sew some of her clothes into a nice quilt for her son.

I am so sorry! You can certainly use some cheering up! I love Native momma's idea and if you check out my blog, a while ago I had won a GC to get a blanket made out of clothes from my little girl. She does an amazing job!!! This blanket means a lot to me as Abby is my last.

Kim, I'm so sorry for your loss. I was also going to suggest making quilts with the clothes. You could have someone sew the quilt tops for you if you don't have that much time. :) Happy VGNO! Tracy

Aww commited suicide what a terrible thing to happen to her family and friends. I know someone that did that, the whys hows and what ifs drives you nuts. Peace be with all of you. Its really hard to find words to say how terribly sad you must feel. I'm glad that you were able to share your loss with us and that you're a blessing to your world. Happy VGNO.

I guess that to receive the <a href="web link; from creditors you should have a firm reason. Nevertheless, one time I've got a small business loan, because I was willing to buy a car.
