Netti, became a victim of this diseased relationship. Her battle for life was short-lived. It was as though cancer had formed overnight and destroyed her within five months. But through the imprints of her shoe prints, She had found her way back—from whence she’d come. Keeping a positive attitude, she never lost faith and accepted her journey. Another balloon was released, and we sent another angel home. May she long be remembered as a trooper. As a result, the cycle, the battle, the memories, and the shoe prints—they all surfaced.
Mom, too, has found peace. It was her time to go. She’s in a much better place—a place where she could join her father, mother, sisters, brothers, husband, daughter, granddaughter, grandson, and many other relatives and friends. (Let me revise that. I’m not sure which home her husband went to. But I can only hope it was Heaven.) Anyway, Mom’s homecoming was on Thursday, March 30, 2000, at 7:52 a.m.
Ora Bea, too: the day she met her maker was Friday, May 10, 2013. It’s been said that if you can’t say something positive, don’t say anything at all. And I’ll leave it at that. My dear friend Mandy: this angel was removed senselessly by her estranged husband. Baylee removed this angel. The reason had been a selfish one—he’d gotten fed up with her bringing the kids to his job and asking for her child support money. It just goes to show that we’ll never know how or when the shoe prints of a journey will end.
But we all bear gifts. And looking at all those angels who were sent to shower us with their gifts, I can only be grateful to have known them all. So, when a person comes into your life, don’t question their existence—just embrace their presence. Take it from the Holy Father: they are there for a reason, and we must embrace that moment. It was a lesson learned through the shoe prints of our journey.

The Insight
In the years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds they have joined us on this broken place called earth, there were several loved ones who are no longer with us. Some died as a result of COVID-19; some died from an attack of police brutality; some from mass killings; some died from those toxic and deadly diseases; and some we lost due to natural causes. Families, oh dear families, I fill your pain. I too have traveled that journey. Many, many times, I tried to reach out and call my loved one . . . to tell them about the good times we had; how much I loved “em; how sorry, I am I wasn’t a better protector; and so much more. I even called their name. But, I don’t know if they heard my calls through the mess going-on down here. It’s been said, “Time heals old wounds.”
Still, it’s hard to realize what we’ll do without them – cause all of me loved them so much. They were my comings and goings. We may never get over our loss, but we can learn to get through it.
Regardless of how our #loved ones left us, their life on this earth was most precious and beautiful. They leave behind a life filled with memories . . . and the many gifts showered upon us. Those loved ones are our superstars, they are our heroes/sheroes, they are our champions, and they are our celebrities. And truly will be missed, and the time spent will never be forgotten!
Sleep on angels. We shall meet in the “Hereafter.”

I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your site.
It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme?
Outstanding work!

Greetings,
I’m using a WordPress Platform. That I do know! My webmaster created the design and elected the platform. I’m not computer savvy when it comes to the knowledge of creating these platforms. However, I wrote the content and selected the images to use. On a routine basis, I make it a practice to keep the templates updated. Seemingly, spammers are everywhere! When I run across them spammers, I simply sent them to the “trash” and keep it moving. Sorry, to hear the difficulties you’re experiencing. Thanks for coming, and looking forward to your return.
BTW, thanks for sharing your link. Gee, that’s a nice website! I wish you continued success with your business.
Thanks very nice blog!
Greetings Jensen:
Pleased to know you’ve found me. I appreciate your kind words. There is a lot to understand and become aware of when toxicity is involved. I look forward to your next visit.
BTW, have you checked out my memoir (in e-book), “Not a Blueprint It’s the Shoe Prints that Matter?” It has won five awards already. The audible makes a great choice – all it takes is an ear, no reading. Now, is the time to engulf yourself with a good read. Call it stimulus support (smile). It’s not an easy task making others aware of my e-book, either. I can’t go it alone, but with your help, we can make it happen. Please share the news in your circle. Thanks a bunch!

Anyway, in my language, there arent a lot good source like this.
Greetings:
Yes, I’ve been getting an overwhelming amount of spammers lately. Don’t know why that is occurring. On a regular, I make it a practice update the templates. I haven’t figured out how to stop it. I just send it to spam or trash folder. Sorry, if I couldn’t be more helpful.
Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or
something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a
little bit, but other than that, this is wonderful blog.
A fantastic read. I’ll definitely be back.
