Hello Emma !
Glad to hear from you! Hello Mum, Dad! Nice to meet you both also. You have a grand daughter, and I know you are quite proud of her, as she is of both of you. Now don't make an issue of tissue, either of you, or anyone for that matter. Life is full of many travels, and lessons. In this journey we are all travelling together, so we start to understand the full value of life, and of the better choices we can make. The other day, I came across a wonderful saying. Emma, it stated this :
'The will does not choose between good and evil; it is choice, rather that makes it good or evil'. This was stated by Karl Jaspers. So, indeed, we all have the right to make choices, but let's make sure we choose what is best.
Like your education Emma, take it and learn well! Just think for everything you don't want to learn, there are over 10,000 people at least, waiting for the chance to learn what you may not think is of merit.
But judging from your perky letters, and your go get'em attitude, I know you will do very well in life!
It's nice to know your mother is out and about, and taking on education again, after already achieving so much in life. Being a nurse is a very noble profession. [I had a friend as a young girl, whose sister was a nurse, who took her first position in England, and then who later applied to Dr. Albert Schweitzer, in Lamborne; she was accepted, but unfortunately due cancer, died early on, not to see her full dream come true] I guess the importance of this is that no matter what,
she had a chance to make a choice, and at least knew that she was accepted, and I'm sure this understanding made her feel very good in her accomplishments. What I am saying Emma, is that every moment we live is important, so live it, fill it with goodness, and be proud of yourself. What we do in life is our complete signature, and good or bad, we need to understand what we do, is what we offer the world around us. Look at your mum, she is really being involved, and wanting to make this world a better place. Bravo mum, from how Emma has turned out, I know that you will help many others achieve their best ! You have a cheering team here! By the way, thank you mum for your prayers, and please know, your family is in my prayers as well. I bet you will have the best of time studying together. You should take a picture of that. That's a very nice picture to have, especially for Emm later in her photography book, to look back upon.
Wow, exams already? Oh that's right, Ra-Ra reminded me a while back of her exams. Well, I think if you study hard, you will achieve your goals.
I hope you do well on your math test. Oh boy, I loved History and Geography. Now mind you take good care of yourself, and those sniffles. You might have to stay in, but your dad is just trying to keep you well, so you will be able to celebrate the end of your exams without feeling yucky.
Wow, Emm you really are a reader. Good for you. Well study first, then read, not the other way around.
Looks like your a helper around your house as well. I guess your parent's are very appreciative of you.
How old will you be Emma on your birthday ? Four months is not so long away Emma.
Emma, when a person believes in God as much as I do, I can't think or wish for anything bad to happen to me, or anyone. This whole world needs prayer, and I am not the only one Emma. So keep praying that a better and wiser world, full of goodness will evolve. You and your family, and the lovely people on this forum are definately good human hearts. As long as we keep talking to each other, and offering our best here and in life, the world around us can and will be affected in positive ways.
Don't change ever Emma. Stay the way you are now. I'm glad I know you, and I pray God will offer you many blessings, and happiness with you and your family.
I'm glad you have included Mazukov in your hello's ! He and many more are indeed in our prayers. He has a wonderful outlook, and a wonderful fighting spirit indeed. God Bless you Mazukov, always !
Tatiana+
P.S Dear Mazukov,
I pray for you too, spinal cancer - it seems so horrid. But if you think about the good things in life and you pray to God and keep up the fighting spirit nothing bad can ever happen.
Emma
