Family

Family isn't always blood.

It's the people in your life who

want you in theirs; the ones who

accept you for who you are. The ones

who would do anything to see you smile

and who love you no matter what!

~ Norma Jean and Ms.Gerry, you are my best friends! And that is why I call you my sisters! I love you so very much. Forever in my heart! ~

Love, Aurora

Happy Birthday Toofie!

 Toofie

Today is my Brother Toofie's Birthday! He is such a special person in my life. I can always count on him, he is always there for me. He gives me strength, and teaches me so many things. He cheers me up when I am in a dark place. I adore and love him so very much! He is strong and so very intelligent, and shares his knowledge. One of my fondest memories of him is when he took me to Disneyland for the first time. I had never been there before. We had such a fun and wonderful time. We did everything possible you could do there. Disneyland is my favorite place on earth. And that wonderful memory of being there with my brother lives in my heart forever. He is so much fun, and oh so funny! He makes me laugh all the time! He is so generous with his heart and time! I am so blessed having Toofie in my life. I love you my Brother!

Happy Birthday Toofie!

What Really Matters

" At the end of life, what really matters

is not what we bought, but what we

built...

Not what we got, but what we

shared...

Not our competence, but our character,

and not our success, but our

significance...

Live a life that matters...

Live a life of love..."

Happy Birthday To My Grandson T.K.

Today is my grandson T.K.'s 6th Birthday! My husband Terry and I were both at his birth, and it was the most beautiful experience we ever shared. Watching that little angel coming into the world was the greatest joy we ever felt. We instantly fell in love with him, and that love only grew more and more everyday! He proudly carries the name of his two grandfather's, Terry and Kenichi. Both of them passed away shortly after his birth. He never really got to know his grandads, but he has two special angels in heaven watching and protecting him. T.K. is such a special boy, so happy and full of life! He has a big imagination, loves to learn, and play games of all sorts. He is full of mischief and fun. T.K. is so precious to me, he is my life, and I love him so so much. There is not a moment that goes by that I do not think of him, and miss him more than words can say. Wish I could be with him today to hold him, give him lots of hugs and kisses, and let him know how much his grandma or " mama " as he calls me, loves and misses him. I wish for him a most blessed day, full of happiness and love: A day filled with fun, and all he desires. Happy Birthday my precious T.K.! I love you so much!

I Have A Dream │ Angel Voices

In this edition of The Aurora Angels I am featuring a moment of peace and tranquility.  The St. Phillip's Boys Choir (Angel Voices), is an early incarnation of the amazing Libera.  "I Have A Dream" has to be one of my all time favorite songs.  It's an old Abba classic, but as sung by Angel Voices, it still has the power to move the soul.
