A Fathers Love

This is a story I wrote for my dad who got diagnosed with small cell carcenoma cancer just 3 short months ago..

A week before fathers day he lost the battle to this horrible illness and I can honestly say during those 3 months,despite having lost his hair,90 pounds,all his muscle and his dignity,what he did not lose was his spirit..And though his body or rather his prison may be lost to this world,his spirit is not as you will clearly see in this story.

During those 3 months my dad did not give up,he fought with all his might even though it turned out to be a futile mission in the end and though I remember saying to my mom,"It went by too quick!"
With softness in her voice,she replied back, "Though it may have been quick to you Tanya,those last 3 months were the longest,hardest months of your dads whole entire life."
Having spent the three months with my parents,helping out in any way I could,remembering his suffering and contemplating what my mom had said, I eventually answered,"Yes I suppose they were." Trailing off with a weighted silence on each of our hearts and minds.







A couple of days before fathers day I had a dream of him, which this story is about..Not thinking about it at first, I had not actually said what the message in the story was as it seemed somewhat irrelevant because the story was not actually about the message but now that I think about it, I suppose it was to an extent.So with that said he told me to tell my mom to start going outside and doing the things she loved to do again and that would make things easier and a bit better for her..

Since the time I wrote it, I had excellent responses from my family and my friends on face book and Twitter...Many said that it made them cry because it was so beautiful,while others said it gives hope to those who have lost thier loved ones so to no prevail please follow the link and I hope you enjoy.

Showcasing the Artwork of Talented Young Artist Candice Wallace

Showcasing my daughter Candice Wallace's artwork..she wants to become a tattoo artist one day and with her talent, I think its highly possible.

Her idol is Kat Von D, who admittedly, being somewhat out of touch, I have to say I had no idea as to who she was until Candice pointed it out or rather drilled it into my head "Only the best tattoo artist alive"... My daughter who can virtually tell you pretty much anything about Kat Von D dreams of being as good as her one day and who knows maybe she will be...

Candice definately has the talent, most of these she created by the age of 16!

Personally speaking, as her mom, I think that if Candice used this talent a lot more she would become the best she that she could be, but if I know her,she will when she's ready! ;) Here's lookin at you kiddo! ;)

As a final note,the bottom sketch is my favorite and though it is sinister,it displays some fantastic imagination and artistry.















Candice is also into dubstep music, creating and mixing,her name Hellqueen...If you would like to check some of her music out go to:

When The Law Has Failed Children

Investigating how the laws are actually letting children down. Looking into violence, domestic abuse, drug offenses and criminal records that is not often looked into in a court of law as well as the sometimes the biased awarding of the children to the mother. Children really have to be taken into account and consideration before awarding them to the parents and often times they are not!

This is a follow article on the article I just wrote. As always I hope you enjoy and please feel free to share this article with others.

Angelic Purity

I think sometimes we tend to forget how fast time moves forward,so fast in fact we tend to miss the little things. Sometimes we also forget to appreciate the time we have because every second counts, especially when it concerns children.They go from being this tiny little being that cannot even talk to an adult, all grown up without even realizing where the time went. I wrote this for my children, Candice and Adam. Image by author (That being me lol).
