I’m celebrating my 10th Blogiversary on the First Day of Spring, with the St. Patrick’s Day observance of 9 years Quit (Smoking) along the way! To mark the occasion, which totally blows my mind, I thought I’d share TEN for TEN.
FOUR – FAMILY
We’ve experienced tragedy and devastating heartbreak in 10 years, as I imagine almost any family could say.

Celebrate Michael Day came and went without much fanfare two weeks ago. I actually forgot until his wife wrote a small post on FB. It’s not a day he really cares to remember or “celebrate,” but I reminded him that it’s a little different for the rest of us. He has a birthday in a few days!
Illness and fucking cancer have reared their heads.
Sharon — 1960-2010
Besides my sister, my grandmother, cousins, a stepbrother, aunts, and uncles have also passed away in the last 10 years.
As heartrending as the hurdles and losses are, the never-ending circle of life continues… and there is overwhelming joy… BABIES!

Love and happiness… and goofiness.

I really LOVE your Ten for Ten posts and am looking forward to the next six. Thanks so much for sharing it all!
I’m enjoying your ten for ten posts. Your daughters are all gorgeous! How nice to see them grow and move into more mature relationships with them. I have two daughters and I am loving the way we relate on different levels now.
Silly family photos are my most favorite kind of photos. You have an awesome family!
it’s good to have a family that can laugh and cry together… and love those crazy photos!
Your family has been through it all and you’ve shared it with us, the ups and downs, the sorrow and the joy! I feel honored to be a part of your life. Your family is creative and inspiring!
This is a truly lovely post, as was the previous one. Thank you for sharing.
