All you need is L.O.V.E

Being sleep deprived and mentally  and physically exhausted... ALL WORTH IT! Who would ever have thought that the cries of tears would soon become tears of happiness.


My strong willed and determined Dad successfully overcame triple by pass surgery at the age of 46. We, as a family, were lucky enough to catch the blockages by a ROUTINE stress test. Without that stress test my father, Richard, was on borrowed time. His father died of a massive heart attack in his early 60's. My Dad has smoked for years. He was a recipe for disaster. BUT, god has a way of giving people a second chance. A second chance at life through no smoking, healthy eating, exercise and lots of love and support. This second chance is not granted to everyone. Lucky is not the word that can even describe my Dad.



My Dad has a long road of recovery in front of him, and I will be by his side the entire way. I know that I have the MOST amazing family and friends who have shown me that everything and anything can be done with love.



My Dad kept saying that he wasn't ready to go yet because he hasn't had his dream car, a corvette. Well and of course because he has amazing children, grandchildren, furkids and furgrandkids. But- my Dad the man of stern and dry humor now has that opportunity to get that corvette he dreamed of.



I hope that everyone takes a second to look at your life, what makes you happy, and what  can make you happier. And then look at your health and see what you can to prolong your life. Maybe a puppy, maybe more walks, maybe skipping that cheese steak for a salad or maybe finding your passion. Live life from your heart- JUST MAKE SURE YOUR HEART IS HEALTHY!



In lieu of my current level of exstaticness (is that a word)- I have one of my all time favorite songs and lyrics for all to enjoy :)



Just remember... All you need is love :)



Beatles Live



Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy.
There's nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you
in time - It's easy.

All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
There's nothing you can know that isn't known.
Nothing you can see that isn't shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
It's easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
All you need is love (all together now)
All you need is love (everybody)
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
