My father, Charles Joseph Fusco went to the Lord on May 11, 2009. He was a loving and devoted father of eight and a grandfather to ten. He is and will be missed. We rejoice in the knowledge that he is with his mother, father, and brothers. He is walking with the angels. We love you Daddy!!!!!

Prayer Request

Hi all!!! I have a prayer request. My friend Bobbie Jo was put into the hospital on Friday from complications due to her MS. She is having to stay until the infection caused is healed or lab results come back clean. Please pray for her family and her to recover quickly. Also, please pray for my little brother Joey. People who know him will know why! Love you all and God Bless!!!!!

So it's been a week of left and right and up and down. Why is it always that way. When they say life is a roller coaster that aren't lying. This week I realized my 3 month old is 3 months old. How can that be, has my life gone by so fast that I now have an infant and not a newborn. Why can't we enjoy them tiny for just a little longer. Although, it is fun to here him laugh and giggle at his sisters. Thank God we have him, and the girls in our lives.

Mama!!!!

Most children learn to say daddy first, right. Then why is it that when they are the ages of my girls---6 and 5---their favorite word is MAMA!!!!! I have to admit that I love hearing this word ninety-nine percent of the time. The other 1% comes when you are just sitting down after getting the baby to sleep and thinking you might just get to what the evening news. I never understood why my mom got so upset when we would chit-chat right infront of the 6 o'clock news until now. "MAMA MAMA MAMA---I hear---WHATA WHAT WHATA I say. She did _______" tell her she can't please MAMA save me is all I hear.

So what do I do--- I sigh and say Thank you God for my children and ask him help me to keep my cool---then I turn the TV off and go see what happened. Sound familiar. I don't know how many times I have apologized to my mom for my behavior as a child... I think everytime I talk to her.

The reason for telling you all this---I asked Madison, 6 and Makayla, 5 how they knew I loved them and they said "because you gave birth to us, you always come when we call, and you always love us."

Isn't that what the Lord does. He waits patiently there until we realize one day he's always been there and he opens his arms and says you are a gift and I love you.

Home Again

I decided to start this blog after going home to see my family this weekend. All together we are twenty-four children of God who came together only because of his love and the love of our parents. My sister started her own blog a few months ago and I have been following it daily. I use hers as inspiration throughout my day.
Like I said, I was home this weekend and sitting around the kitchen table thinking, "look at all these people, someone should write about each of them." That is my quest.
I fear I am not as graceful with words as my sister, however I will try to do my family justice.
