Follow your Dreams!
All of my children's lives I have been telling them to follow their dreams, to do want they need to do to make them happy and to know that no matter what we would find a way to make things happen.
Today I look back at this philosophy and I know that I was right! It has been a struggle at times, both emotionally and financially but in the end it's SO been worth every bit of upheaval.
Last night we got wonderful news! Aimee called me very excited, she had just received an email and needed me to be on the phone when she opened it....it was from the University of Toronto and it held the message that she had been anticipating for ages...She's been accepted to do her Masters. Along with this comes summer employment! All of this briefly eased her mind about her future dreams and I say briefly because after doing the happy dance the next words out of her mouth were "Shit Mom, how am I gonna pay for this!" OMG...can you just celebrate for one week and we'll figure it out.
This year my eldest daughter Jennifer will graduate with Honours from her Bachelor of Education and fulfill what she believes is a lifelong dream to help young minds grow! She will be a teacher. This young lady has struggled and grown into a beautiful young lady that will enhance the lives of many with her kindness and wisdom!
To both my daughter's I have only this to say:
Congratulations my Dear Hearts! I am very proud of both of you! You make my heart sing and the tears of joy well up in my eyes just thinking about you both. And I'm never gonna stop cooking with cheese!
Follow your Dreams....and remember to dream big!

And..hmm big birthday for Linda yet forget hubbies birthday. For shame! :0)
I just told Aimee congratulations....and that her mailman is probably breathing a sigh of relief now that she has no more bad thoughts about shaking him until he brought her the letter.
