Following Meleah's plan again today: Thirteen Thursday! (A list of thirteen things!)
I just read about this idea over at The Daily Meme , which was mentioned on Meleah's blog awhile back.
Let's get to the list, shall we?
Before I'm Gone I hope to:
1. Hold a Grandchild given to us from one of our children.
2. Make a lasting and positive influence in my community.
3. Go to Wimbledon with Josh and watch Rodger Federer.
4. Adopt a baby from China.
5. Write a children's book based on a story told by Pap-Pap F.
6. Run in a 50k or 50 mile race. I'll start with the 50k.
7. Carry another baby, give birth to another baby, nurse another baby.
8. See Michael grow to be a kind, sensitive, strong, and giving man.
9. Retire with Josh and travel with him to places we've never been.
10. See a cure for cancer.
11. Earn a Phd in education.
12. Make a difference in a child's life.
13. Hold my brother's babies, watch them all get married, and find happiness.
Godwilling.
But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. W. B. Yeats

Oh, Katie! I wish we lived closer to one another! We have so many things in common. Every time you write a list like this I read it and end up saying to myself, "Yes! Yes! YES!". I know they are universal themes, but we have so many of the same hopes and dreams for ourselves and our families. At least we have our blogs, I feel like I get to connect with you everyday.
May all your dreams come true, my friend.
Love - M
