Praying for a miracle
I believed in the power of prayers. I am praying for a miracle. My heart bleeds when I have to go through watching my youngest precious son ,Richard going through a biopsy again today. He has been in remission for almost a year and all seems well . He is looking forward to his university studies starting on Monday.However today we were told that lesion on one of his Ribs does not look good and abiopsy was arranged instantly. Results will be on Monday. Please help me pray for this courageous , bright, young 19 year old boy.
Thanks and Hugs to all.

Valentine day 14th Feb......its suppose to be the most romantic day of the year
Wow! Its Valentine's day . Nowadays Valentine day is so commercialised . Prices of roses cost 5 times more and dining out is not so affordable. Well in my opinion its not so special too because its every other couple day out as well!. The romance surrounds it Valentine day has also evolved through time. Today ladies are getting more practical so instead of flowers its ok to give shoes! It don't have to be Jimmy Choos.......
Take a look at this Valentine advertisement
I have been married for only 25years, just celebrated our 25Th wedding anniversary on 24Th December 08. We have never celebrated Valentine's day.....to us, if we are in love with each other, every day is our Valentine day.We don't need a designated day given by someone and commercialised by retailers. Doesn't sound very romantic eh! For us every day is a celebration of love or else ,why stay married and get stuck with each other. I get surprises , countless over the years, flowers at any day of the year or a loving card, mutual exchange of love notes numerous times in a year. Romantic dinners at home or at our favourite Swiss restaurant anytime of the week.
So for me Valentin's day is another day, no mass packaged flowers, no mass produced Valentine cards,no mass menu dinners, not even shoes!
Funny thing though we do received Valentine day cards from our sons! It read " Happy Valentine's day Mom and Dad" .
I begin to wonder what is the true celebration of Valentine day. I just check it out in Wikipedia. Its such an interesting read about what (origin) and how Valentine's day is being celebrated throughout the world. ( Thanks! Wikipedia for the valuable information).
I like to highlight this interesting fact."Thanks to a concentrated marketing effort, Valentine's Day is celebrated in some Asian countries with Pakistan, Singaporeans, Chinese and South Koreans spending the most money on Valentine's gifts .
