It's been too long...




Wow, it has honestly been 5 months since I've blogged. Blame it on returning to full-time, Facebooking, life, whatever, but it's high time I posted the latest news. Before I make a post about our life, however, I need to post my love and support to everyone in the Bowler family.






My best friend since high school, Kathie has been a rock through some of the most difficult times in my life. We were inseparable, and her mother took me in as one of the kids. I don't know where I would be in life if it weren't for them. Ruth, her amazing mother, was diagnosed with mesothelioma over a year ago and lost her battle with the cancer last Monday. As was stated at the beautiful funeral on Thursday, Ruthie was an angel. I've never met anyone with such an ability to unconditionally love EVERYONE. She was the most selfless, generous and spiritual person I've ever known. Her amazing example lives on in all of her children, grandchildren and in all who's lives she touched, including mine. We love you, Ruth.

Oh Liz! I hadn't seen your post until now. What a tribute - you have brought me to tears for the first time in several days (good record for me!) I love you so much and can't tell you how much it means to me that you came down. I am so sorry about your freakin' cancer. I swear on all that is holy, I will come up there and kick it FOR you if it continues to behave this way!!! I love you so much and thank you for the loving tribute to my mom. She DID love you like her own!!!
