An Angel's Dream

 

ANGEL’S DREAM

 

 

I dreamt about my mum today

And all the things I knew we’d say

And all the things I knew she’d say

If she were in this world today

 

The days are long, the Nights are longer

With everyday we all grow stronger

It’s not an easy thing to do,

Carrying on our lives mum without you

 

I need my mum

I need her light

Each passing day

And lonely night

 

Two years have passed

Who would have known

Yet in that time we all have grown

 

Time is a healer

And this is true

But nothing stops me missing you

 

The pain has eased, won’t go away

I’ll carry that until my last day

I hold you dear mum inside my heart

And smile because we’ll never part

 

I know your watching over me

And keep me safe it’s plain to see

And if I start to feel I’m done

I dream of you and my pain is gone

 

 

I miss you mum

Love always from your Little Angel

Father's Day

Hey Hey Hey

 

Well it has been way too long since I have updated my space and so I thought I’d stop by and enter my little World of an Angel once again.

 

Today is Father’s day so I had to blog about my dad.

 

I know up until now you have heard quite a bit about my mom’s from my tributes but I wanted to write about my dad now too.

 

When I think about the type of person I have grown up to be it is not hard to see just what a good job my parents have done. For every compliment I get about how I am as a person, I know I have to credit that to my parents.

 

While I know that I got my funny sense of humour and my ability to get on with just about everyone from my mom’s, I know that I got my strength of character from my dad.

 

I have always felt that if I grew up to be half the man my dad is then I will already be a great man. My dad has not only been there for myself and his family he is always involved in looking after someone from the community and he does this all out of choice not as a job. He is currently looking after an 85 year old man who has diabetes and spends parts of his week taking him to hospital appointments cooking for him and shopping for him as he has lost the use of both his legs.

 

This is all tied in with helping look after most of the elder members of our family where he also attends their hospital appointments plus he is an active member at our local church where he has just finished being a major part of the refurbishment there.

 

One of the things I admire most about my dad is that he is never looking for praise for the things he does. He does these things simply because he can help and chooses to do so.

 

I find myself constantly telling my dad to take it easy as he had a spell a few years back where we almost lost him, but once he takes on something he is all hands on until the very end never really stopping to worry about himself. That’s why I love when he gets away on holiday. This is the only time where everyone else can’t reach him and I know that he is getting the much needed rest he deserves.

 

I know this blog will never full do justice to my dad and just how wonderful he really is because I would have to be writing for days to fit it all in. The support he gives to me in all of my dreams and plans is nothing short of amazing and I can truly say that I am blessed to have someone so strong in my life to look up too.

 

So today I wanted to say Happy Father’s Day to you Dad and to tell you just how very much you are loved, not just by me but by all you come in contact with.

 

Love always, Your Son Andrew

Mother's Day

Hey Everyone,

 

Today was always going to be hard, how do you celebrate Mother’s day when you have lost your mom?

 

Well I spent a little time at the cemetery with my brother, had a little chat with mom and then spent the afternoon with my cousin as I didn’t really feel like just sitting at home with a million thoughts running through my mind, thinking about being up at my mom’s house today and having Sunday dinner like we used too.

 

For all those out there that are lucky enough to have their mother’s still with them just remember to take the time out to tell them just how much you love them not just on special occasions but each and everyday as you never know when they may not be there.

 

I love you and miss you everyday Mom

Happy Mother’s Day

 

 

Love always, your lil Angel.

Alive & Kicking

Hey Hey Hey
 
 
Yes i'm still alive & kicking but I have not been on here and blogged since mid Feb *shame*
 
I just want to say sorry to all the people I have met in spaces and have not been around to see lately and for the lack of blogs of any interest.
 
Truth is since i've been back from Australia I haven't really done or had anything that interesing to blog about so I haven't. I've been chillin around and playing football a whole load but that's about it.
 
I will be back, your Angel hasn't left the building just yet so in the meantime I hope you're all doing great and i'll be back with a bang real soon.
 
Archangel *hugs*

Jade

Hey Hey Hey

 

Hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was spent with family as it was my niece’s 16th Birthday, scary just how quickly they grow up *smile*

 

Anyways not much to blog about at the moment so my apologies that I have not really been around that much.

 

Hopefully I will get a chance to spend much more time on my blogs soon.

 

Hope all is well with all my friends here in The World of Spaces.

 

Happy 16th Birthday Jade

Happy Valentine's Day

Image hosting by Photobucket

Hey Hey Hey,

 

What a wonderful day Valentine’s day is yet it seems that every year this special day comes around I never get to spend it with the person I want too.

 

Okay that is not entirely true, I have spent this day with that special person a few times but that was so far in the past I can barely remember, these stretch back to the days when I was still at Angel school and in Angelic College.

 

It would seem that now I am a fully fledged Angel I have spent the last few Valentine’s days without that special someone to spoil and do all the romantic things I want too with.

 

This year is slightly different; yes I will be spending Valentine’s Day at home without that special someone next to me, no romantic candle lit meal, no single red rose and no soft slow romantic music. Sounds depressing right?

 

Well I guess in some ways it is, however I know that there is a special someone out there who is waiting just for me, someone who loves me as much as I love them, someone I am going to spend the rest of my life with so I’m still smiling, still being the hopeless romantic that I am.

 

Knowing this will keep me smiling on this special day and even though I will spend it alone I know deep in my heart that I am not alone because you are out there feeling what I feel and we are joined with our spirits until we meet.

 

I hope each and every one of you enjoys this special day, don’t take things for granted, tell the person you are with how much you love them every minute of every day, and if there is someone that you love and have yet to tell them….. What are you waiting for? Today is the perfect chance to do just that, let them know because guess what, they may just be too shy to tell you *smile*

 

 

To that special someone

Thank you for allowing me to Dare to Dream

Ladies & Gentlemen I give you Tia Barr

Hey Hey Hey

 

Sorry I’ve not blogged that much since I have been back but I guess I’m trying to adjust to being back in the UK, the time the lack of sun and beautiful scenery *cry*

 

Oh well all good things must come to an end I guess (time to start to plan my next adventure methinks) *smile*

 

What has been great about being back is seeing my family and catching up especially little Tia. She came down for the weekend and so I got to hold her for the first time *bigger smile*

 

She is absolutely gorgeous but I’m sure you can see that from the pictures.

 

Just staring at her and holding her makes me want my own lil baby sooner rather than later *sigh* Yeah my own lil Angel I can just see it now *smile*

 

Anyway hope all is well with you all and I will slowly get back into writing my blogs ASAP.

 

For now please enjoy the pictures of Tia Jean Tamara Barr our latest little Angel.

I'm Back

Hey Hey Hey,

 

Happy New Year to you all!

 

Yes that’s right the Angel is back from sunny Australia and back in The World of an Angel.

 

It has been ages since I have blogged but as I am sure you can imagine I have been away in the sun and didn’t spend much time in front of a computer.

 

Australia was awesome as it was the last time I was there however on this occasion I was lucky enough to spend 13 days sailing around the Whitsunday Islands and that was the icing on the cake.

 I spent my birthday on the beach, Christmas morning I woke up on a boat to a perfect blue sky in Airlie Beach Marina and we set sail.

 

We visited quite a few places while we were there stopping off at places such as Daydream and Hamilton island (totally amazing) and we also went to Whitehaven Beach and here we are talking about 5k of pure white sandy beach, it was like being in a dream or looking at a postcard but only this time I was right there walking along the beach and swimming in the Ocean *smile*

 

Anyway I couldn’t possibly tell you guys about everything that happened while I was away so instead I will add more pictures to my photo album so you can see some of these places for yourself.

 

Hope you are all good and didn’t miss me too much. Thank you to all who stopped by while I was away and left messages (no doubt it is going to take me quite a while to get back to you all).

 

So what now for the Angel, well all I can say is that 2006 looks like it is going to be a very exciting year for this Angel so keep watching my space for updates.

 

Hope the New Year is just as good for all of you too.

Merry Christmas

Hey Hey Hey

 

I know I have not blogged for ages but hey come on I’m out here in sunny Australia and I have to make the most of that right? *smile*

 

Anyway thank you to all of the old and new faces that have passed by and left comments while I have been…… well lazing around (even Angels need to take a break once in a while) *grin*

 

I have replied to some and I will reply to the others probably when I get back to London now because on Friday we are off for our sailing trip around the Barrier Reef (what a great way to spend Christmas and the New Year) and I will not be back or next to a computer until the 6th January and that is the date I leave for the UK.

 

Ok I did say in my last blog that I would tell you the name of my lil new born niece who was born on my mum’s birthday. Well I can confirm that her name is Tia Jean Tamara Barr (Jean being my mum’s name) and as I said they already had this name picked out for their daughter before she was born so for her to arrive on mum’s birthday still amazes me. What I found out recently also is that Tia was born at 19:45pm and that was the year my mum was born so her very soul must be running through little Tia *BIG SMILE*

 

Anyway I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

 

I still have so much I am bursting to tell everyone but I have to wait for now. Lets just say that I already have everything I could ever have wished for at Christmas and I already know that my New Year is going to be amazing *wink*

 

I should have loads more pictures for you all to look at when I get back from my trip around the reef and I will post them as soon as I can.

 

Archangel *hugs*

The Circle of Life

Hey Hey Hey

 

I just found out the most amazing news today.

 

Yesterday was my mom’s 60th Birthday (17th November), for those of you who have visited my space in the past you will already know that my mom’s passed away June 25th 2004 (so for those coming here for the first time now you know too). Now this isn’t a blog to be all sad for the loss of my mom, it’s a blog to show us just how truly amazing life can be and how mysterious it can be too (don’t they say that the Lord works in mysterious ways)?

 

Well my Brother Peter’s girlfriend was pregnant and due to have her baby December 5th 2005 yet we both always said that it would have been really cool if she was born in November so that like my dad, mom, peter and me she was born under the Scorpio star sign, however she was due to be a Sagittarius.

 

Well seeing as it was my mom’s Birthday all of my family were at the cemetery wishing her a happy birthday when Peter got the call that his girlfriend was going into labor and guess what? Not only was his Daughter born a Scorpio she was born on our mom’s birthday, How awesome is that?

 

The way we see it, Mom’s made that happen not only does Peter get his way with the Star sign of his first child but Mom’s makes sure her birthday will never be forgotten (not that we would have anyways).

 

I am so excited even though I am all the way on the other side of the world. I always knew I would miss the birth of his daughter but now it hurts a lil seeing as this was just a truly special way that it happened.

 

I can’t wait to get back home now to see yet another addition to my family. Looks like Mom’s has been working her magic from up above and making things happen in our lives, right now there is a lot going on for me which is very exciting but you’ll all have to watch this space to find out *WINK*

 

So all that leaves me to do now is to congratulate Peter and Lisa on their baby Daughter (I’ll tell you all her name when I confirm it but I know they already had a full name picked out) *smile*

 

 

♠Arﭶhanﻕ€L♠™ Daring to Dream

 

PS: I’d like to thank all of you who stopped by to wish me a Happy Birthday. I’m sorry I have not replied to you all yet but I will get round to it when I’m not lazing around on the beach, hope you are all well.

Hey Hey Hey
 
Happy Halloween Everyone!!
 
 
 
I know it has been a rather long time since I have blogged and I'm really sorry (just been caught up doing other things).
 
As most of my friends know I am also about to leave for Australia and so I have also been getting myself ready for a 2 month vacation (yes even Angels need to take a time out once in a while) *smile*
 
 
Well just to update all of you on a few things that have been going on with me, You already know that I am off to Australia but on the weekend I got to meet up with another friend from Spaces Elle Sheri as she invited me to a Halloween fancy dress party.

A lil Angel Poetry

 

 Loves Questions

 

 

 

Could it be that you’re the one

We wrote, we spoke, had so much fun

I’m scared to say just how I feel

I pinch myself, is this for real?

 

So tender, loving, sweet and kind

Why is it you’re on my mind?

How can something so new just feel so right?

The grip you have is o' so tight

 

I’ve told myself to stay away

But thinking now there is no way

I’ve promised myself many times before

Yet here I am knocking at loves door

 

Why is it then that one more time

I grab my pen and start to rhyme?

Is this the way I reach out to you

And hope that you can feel this too

 

An Angel for an Angel that much is clear

Each day I await your voice to hear

So fresh, so new, it’s only started

Already I feel we can’t be parted

 

Am I alone? Am I insane?

Like times before does this lead to pain?

A hopeless romantic that’s what I said

I’ll be that way until I’m dead

 

Although it seems we’re worlds apart

I somehow feel this is a start

But if I’m wrong, something that could be true

At least a great friend I have in you.

Domestic Violence & Abuse

 

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

 
 
Hey Hey Hey,
 
It has been a while since I have written what I class as a good blog (when I say good I mean a blog with a real point or something that gives us food for thought) and so here is one of those entries.
 
So how did this topic of domestic violence come about? Well I guess as always it's something we all know about or hear about but very few people talk about especially the victims. I am lucky to have never witnessed domestic violence while I was growing up however I have had good friends, people close to me and even people who I have never met tell me about some of the traumatic things that have happened  to them or are still happening to them and it is something that hurts me deeply. I sometimes think "what can I do"? Most of the time we are told these things in confidence and the victim just needs someone to talk too but still they don't want you to actually do anything and you feel if you speak to anyone else about it you are betraying their trust, so now we are stuck with knowing what is going on and our guilt of not doing anything, but also with not wanting to betray the person who felt they could trust you enough to tell you of all the people out there.
 

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

 

Ok so I guess this is a blog that I should have written ages ago but it's funny how life takes you to certain things at certain times. Would you believe I had actually done a Google search with the words *Love Is* and the top result was the link in my awareness section on  "Love is not Abuse".
 
I don't know what I was looking for when I did my search but I was hoping to find something cool about Love not about domestic violence but here I was presented with something I feel so strongly about and something that I knew I had to share with you all.
 

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

 

The scary thing about Domestic Violence is that it is something that is so common yet many of us don't even know when it is happening to family members, friends or even the person you walk past in the street, WHY? because most of the victims are either too scared to talk about it or have been made to feel as if it were their fault in which case they still do nothing about it.
 
I wonder how many people out there reading this blog has ever been a victim? I would bet if we were honest about it we all would be surprised at the amount of people who put their hands up. Now if you notice I will refer to these people as victims simply because although this is something that is more common to women being on the receiving end there are also men out there who are victims of domestic violence and abuse.
 
*I can't believe I'm at work and writing such a deep blog (I usually like to be at home with my music when I write such things), however when something like this hits you, you just have to obey and write*
 
 
I'm not going to quote statistics about this issue as I am not an expert, instead I ask that you all take sometime out (like we do with the various quizzes in spaces) to check out the links I will provide and just read about this in your own time. The people who have taken time to create these websites know more than I do and are in a better position to explain things I'm just here helping to spread the word.
 
*REMEMBER VIOLENCE AND ABUSE DOESN'T KNOW RACE SEX OR AGE SO ANYONE CAN BE A VICTIM*
 
As always the message that usually comes across with this matter is that the victims need to speak up. Now I can only imagine that this must be much easier said than done, isn't it always when you are sitting on the outside of a situation looking in?? However without speaking out you will always continue to be a victim and that I'm sure isn't a very exciting prospect.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

 
So far I have been addressing the victims and so now I have to wonder just how many people out there reading this blog would own up to being the one that also needs help, and by that I mean the ones that are doing the abusing? I would like to believe that no one reading this will put their hands up but if you know that you are one of those people, as I read before it doesn't make you a bad person you just need to get help. We all make mistakes but to continually do something that you know is wrong is what will make people consider you to be a bad person.
 
So for all the victims out there enough is enough and I hope and pray that you have the strength and support to find a way out of this, and for those that need help to stop causing the pain that you are, I hope and pray that you seek the help needed.

October is the month for Domestic Violence awareness so I actually held off publishing this entry until then (plus I then had a couple of weeks out with my Sickle Cell crisis) and my aim is to not blog anything else for the rest of October so that anyone who visits my space will be reminded of this.
 
I also ask to help spread the word that as many of you that can have a blog in October about this subject do. You don't need to write a whole long blog about domestic violence maybe just a picture and a short message (feel free to use the ones I have) or if you find any yourself. The longer you can keep that as your main blog during October the better as the more people that visit yours and my spaces the more the word will spread and who knows whose life you might just save.
 
Below are some links to pages on Domestic Violence:
 
 
 
Please visit other friends in spaces who have also blogged about Domestic Violence

We are one people on one world lets try to make it a better place.

Ill again......

Hey Hey Hey
 
Just a quick blog to let all my lovely friends here know that I have not been ignoring you nor have I been to busy to be online. I had another Sickle Cell Crisis on Sunday morning and had to be rushed straight to hospital.
 
This time the pain decided to hit me 5 minutes into my usualy football and it struck right at the base of my spine *OUCH*
 
Worst thing was usually when you get to hospital they put you on Morphine to control the pain (yes it's that bad) but this time not even the morphine worked so I had to just take the pain till it eased up even though I was constantly on morphine.
 
I have only just been let out today (about 10 minutes ago) and so I thoought I'd at least blog and let you guys know why I have not been about in the past week.
 
It will still take about a week for me to fully recover from this latest attack (and get the morphine out of my system) so I will not be online as much but please keep leaving your messages (they make me smile) and I will reply as soon as I can.
 
I also apologise that I have not been around to sign anyones guest book yet for the signing day but I will get roound to that as soon as I am well enough.
 
Hope all is well with you all.

The four wives

Once upon a time there was a rich King who had four wives.
He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and
treated her to the finest of delicacies. He gave her nothing but the
best.


He also loved the 3rd wife very much and was always showing her off to
neighboring kingdoms. However, he feared that one day she would leave
him for another.


He also loved his 2nd wife. She was his confidant and was always kind,
considerate and patient with him. Whenever the King faced a problem, he
could confide in her, and she would help him get through the difficult
times.


The King's 1st wife was a very loyal partner and had made great
contributions in maintaining his wealth and kingdom.
However, he did not love the first wife. Although she loved him deeply,
he hardly took notice of her !


One day, the King fell ill and he knew his time was short.
He thought of his luxurious life and wondered, "I now have four wives
with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone."


Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I have loved you the most, endowed you
with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm
dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No way!", replied the
4th wife, and she walked away without another word. Her answer cut like
a sharp knife right into his heart.


The sad King then asked the 3rd wife, "I have loved you all my life. Now
that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?"
"No!", replied the 3rd wife. "Life is too good! When you die, I'm going
to remarry!"
His heart sank and turned cold.



He then asked the 2nd wife, "I have always turned to you for help and
you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep
me company?"
"I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!", replied the 2nd wife. "At
the very most, I can only walk with you to your grave." Her answer
struck him like a bolt of lightning, and the King was devastated.


Then a voice called out: "I'll go with you. I'll follow you no matter
where you go."
The King looked up, and there was his first wife. She was very skinny as
she suffered from malnutrition and neglect.
Greatly grieved, the King said, "I should have taken much better care of
you when I had the chance!"



In truth, we all have the 4 wives in our lives:

Our 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish
in making it look good, it will leave us when we die.

Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, it will
all go to others.

Our 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how much they have
been there for us, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.

And our 1st wife is our Soul.   Often neglected in pursuit
of wealth, power and pleasures of the world.
 
However, our Soul is the
only thing that will follow us wherever we go.
Cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now, for it is the only part of us
that will follow us to the throne of God and continue with us throughout
Eternity.

Guess who also joined in the partying? Yup that's right our very own Miss Thang a.k.a CanadianGirlUK came out with us to have yet another night of madness (only this time the night was at least planned *smile*)

 

Well I better get some sleep now as it is already midnight and I have 2 hours of Football/Soccer tomorrow morning so yet another early start (I must be mad)!!

 

As always I have pictures for my lastest night out so go have a look see in the gallery.

 

Hope all of you have started the weekend with a bang and if not I hope that you intend to make the most of it.

Birthdays & BBQ's

Hey Hey Hey
 
Just a lil catch up on my weekend.
 
Saturday I went to a friends BBQ and then had my cousins surprise birthday party.
 
Both were awesome fun, the BBQ because I got to catch up with friends who I used to work with back in 1990 and my cousins Birthday party because when my family get together there is nothing quite like it.
 
For those that don't know I have a very LARGE family and when we get together there is nothing but love.
 
I have to admit that I am blessed with a great family full of love and support, I could never be alone with a family this large & loving.
 
That is one of the things that keeps me going, that keeps me smiling each day, that makes life worth living.
 
 
This blog is especially going out to my cousin Leon who's birthday was on August 17th but also to my amazing family, without them you may have never met the Angel you have all come to know.

Well I'm 98% better and hopefully I'll be 100% real soon.
 
Now that I am back on spaces I noticed that
most people have WMP playing all sorts of things.
Well seeing as I am back now I thought it appropriate for mine to be the timeless classics from one of the Budweiser ads and say..
 
 
WASSSSSSSSSSSUP
 
So if you haven't already... go ahead and hit play
 
Enjoy!!
