What I'm Reading Now

J.R. Ward: Lover At Last: A Novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood

Movies I Recommend

"Death at a Funeral"
Make sure you get the original 2007 British version. So many funny moments, I love swearing in a British accent. Oh and Uncle Alfie on the crapper..."it's touch and go" and "you missed a bit" - Classic
"Barefoot in the Park"
This is so funny, Jane Fonda's Mum and all the stairs is hilarious and when she gets drunk....ya gotta watch it!
"The Butterfly Effect"
Make sure to watch BOTH versions, the theatrical and the director's cut...let me know which one YOU liked best!
"Mr. Holland's Opus"
I love Richard Dreyfuss, since Jaws and this movie is so uplifting and beautiful.
"Serendipity"
I think this is one of my favorite movies of all time...well at least the one with NO vampires in it...ha! I believe in fate...do you?

This set's greeting is so fitting. My heart is really heavy right now. My Granny who will be 94 in April is not doing so good right now. I am not ready for her to be gone but at the same time I am happy that she will finally be with Poppa. I hope that does not make me a bad person, my emotions are just so mixed up right now. She misses him and talks about him a lot lately, and Mum says Granny knows she will be in heaven soon. The last time I saw Granny was in 2011 when my little sister got married. I talked to her last week on the phone and it was nice to hear her voice, but she is just so tired. I can't imagine living to be 93 and being away from my husband for so long. I hope that when Poppa and Granny see each other again, they are young and healthy and don't remember that they have been apart all this time. Last night I read till 11:11 just like Granny always did, and I prayed to God and talked to Poppa and told them to please let her just fall asleep and be at peace like I think she is right now, I don't want her getting sick and being in pain, she is the sweetest person in the world and I love her so much. My Mum and sister Jacqui have been keeping me updated all the time. It is hard living so far away but knowing that Poppa is waiting for Granny makes me not scared like when Poppa died, I was so scared that he was leaving Granny alone. He had always taken care of her. I am sorry for rambling on I am probably not even making any sense right now.

I'm gonna sign off and go to bed. Thanks for listening. Hugs, Di
