Just right click the image on my blog, and save the image somewhere you can find it. Most blog awards have little rules, and this one was to pass it on to 15 others (but you can ALWAYS break rules; bloggers do it all the time. 15 is a lot of work, so you might just want to do, like, three.) Anyway, when you go into blogger and create a new post, write the post up, and then click the image button at the top of the new post. Then you'll be taken to your computer files; just select the blog award image and then click 'OK'. Then it appears in the post. If you want to put it in your sidebar, go into blogger and I think it's under Settings or something like that. Same deal, browse for the image and then pop it in :D Email me if you need help!!)Zoe C.

God is merciful and will never keep her here for longer than she needs to be. This might seem a strange thing to say, but if you think about what you have gained from her time spent among us, I'm quite sure that you will thank God for not taking her sooner. <br /><br />I have some idea about what you are going through, since I spent a large part of my life thinking that my Gran, who is a huge part of who I am, was going to die. She didn't but she's also coming to this stage where she's at the end of her life, but that's ok, since she lived her life to the full. She has very few regrets and has done a lot of what she wanted...<br /><br />This comment was never been intended to be this long, but I just felt I have to send this message to you. <br /><br />May God keep you safe in his arms and bring you peace.<br /><br />I'll keep you both in my prayers.<br />Love,<br />MishaMisha Gerrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364173848456424521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622940595536822241.post-13948808402623679882010-09-13T01:17:04.169-06:002010-09-13T01:17:04.169-06:00Prayers for you and your motherPrayers for you and your motherLynda R Young as Elle Cardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09975442291393246148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622940595536822241.post-46114282093800729072010-09-12T21:46:48.753-06:002010-09-12T21:46:48.753-06:00I'm so sorry to hear about your mother.
