Happy New Year!!! My wish for you is that 2009 is one of the the best years of your life!
I expect it definitely will be one of the most challenging years of my life. But with the grace of God, I will face the future as I know Sanford would want me to.
There was so much I felt I needed to say and now that I'm here, the words won't come. Honestly, there are no words to truly express how thankful I am to all of you for your loving support and the kindness you showed me during the sadest days of my life.
I am aware of just how blessed I am to have such a loving family and caring friends. Toni, Risse, Jese and Kari came from Atlanta to spend Christmas with Colette, Noelle and me. God bless them...during the holidays, they really helped to fill the vacum left by Sanford.
When Donald passed away in 2007, I was so impressed and proud of how strong Pam was and how well she handled becoming a widow. I told her then, "You are so strong. I want to be like you when I grow up". As she was leaving to return home to Atlanta in December, she said to me "Mommy, you are grown up now and you ARE strong!!". We have a rare role reversal here... My Daughter is my role model.... She has reinforced my belief that I can and will make it alone.

I've lost the love of my life, but I still have my family and friends, for which I shall be forever grateful.
As was Said "Better tohave loved and lost , thannever to have loved at all"
Love y'all!!

Hi Bunni I`m so glad I came to your blog from the email you sent me, about your daughters pendant. I viewed the you tube family album, and have to say I was very touched by the apparent love within your family. I think your granddaughter and daughter did a wonderful job on the video of your family pictures and tribute to sanford.
Sincerely
Rhonda Young
