NLQ Fundraiser Tease of the Day: Ain’t She Sweet?

by Vyckie

Since NLQ actually is a means of support for my family, I am shamelessly soliciting donations during the blogathon. I’m still a single mom with 5 kids at home, so any contributions will be a big help. I’ve set a modest goal for the blogathon: $1,000 ~ and if the money comes in ~ I’ll show my appreciation by posting a link to our old family blog. This is the personal family journal which I kept from August 2006 – January 2008 until I moved the journal to a new site.

As a way to build interest and anticipation, I’ll be sharing one post per day from the old family blog. Don’t worry that I might actually give away all the incentive to donate by sharing these posts ~ this is just a tease … There are over a year’s worth of posts, so the ones I republish here will be only a small sample.

NLQ Donation Total: $625.00 ~ We’re well over halfway to our goal! I hope this “daily tease” will inspire you to help us reach our goal.

Ain’t She Sweet?

Angel sent this to me yesterday for no special occasion at all. Thank you, Ang! I love you. ~ Mom

Only You, Mom

Only You,
Only you carried me
Through many months
Till you could introduce me to the world
Only you could smile
Through the tears and the joy
As you held your angel, a brand new baby girl

Only you,
Only you remember
All the devotion
When you promised you’d do anything for me
You changed your life
Sacrificed the old
Gave me a perfect dad and an awesome family

Only you,
Only you know me
Know how to make me happy
And only you know my hopes, dreams and fears
You know my faults
And how to help me solve them
Only you have heard my secrets through the years

Only you,
Only you have loved
From the moment I was born
And you love me after all that we’ve been through
Only I,
I will never forget
Everything you are to me
And just as long as you love me, I will love you
