Everbody Hurts

When your day is long
And the night
The night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough of this life
Well hang on

Don't let yourself go
Cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts
Sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
(When your day is night alone)
Hold on, hold on
(If you feel like letting go)
Hold on
If you think you've had too much of this life
Well hang on

Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts

Don't throw your hand
Oh, no
Don't throw your hand
When you feel like you're alone
No, no, no, you're not alone

If you're on your own
In this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much
Of this life
To hang on

Well, everybody hurts
Sometimes, everybody cries
And everybody hurts
Sometimes

And everybody hurts
Sometimes

So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
(Everybody hurts
You are not alone)

The Memory Keeper's Daughter

My husband and I were watching this movie, and it was one of the best movies we watched together. Once you read the book page below, it might encourage you to watch this spectacular movie. It is very dramatic that you get the mixture emotions.


Life-changing secrets haunt a family
REVIEW BY EMILY ZIBART


Have you ever wondered how a single decision might affect every aspect of your entire life? Kim Edwards, award-winning author of the short story collection The Secrets of a Fire King, addresses this question in her new novel, The Memory Keeper's Daughter.


David Henry, a doctor who has escaped his humble beginnings in rural Pennsylvania, moves to Lexington, Kentucky, to begin his career. There, he meets Norah Asher, whom he marries after a brief but intense relationship. A year later, on a very snowy night in 1964, a pregnant Norah goes into labor—and David and his trusted nurse, Caroline Gill, are the only witnesses to a heart-wrenching surprise: the birth of twins, one a perfectly healthy boy, the other a girl with the classic symptoms of Down syndrome.


Dr. Henry, convinced that his daughter's condition will only cause his family heartache and suffering, commands that Caroline immediately take her to an institution—and tells his wife that their daughter died at birth in order to protect her. It is this fateful decision that continues to haunt the novel's characters for years to come.


Caroline attempts to follow Dr. Henry's wishes, but finds herself unable to leave the infant, Phoebe, and vanishes with her to start a new life. Norah, oblivious to the situation, feels an infinite void at the loss of her daughter, which leads her to withdraw from her marriage. David, who is constantly consumed by his dishonesty and guilt, turns to photography in an attempt to freeze the fleeting but distinct moments that make up life. The twins grow up in different states, sharing many traits but unaware of one another's existence.


Edwards takes on many themes in this novel, including the burden of secrets, the loneliness of a disintegrating marriage, the heartache and triumph of raising children—and, most pointedly, the need for developmentally disabled children to feel accepted by society. The Memory Keeper's Daughter reveals the strength of family bonds under unique and difficult circumstances.

Morian's 1st Easter and he is sick

My baby is still sick or even gets worse. He has fever so high and right now he is crying non-stop. I remembered what my Aunt told me that there will be a time that babies will just cry because they are sick and you don't even know what to do. And I guess I am in that situation right now. It is hard because the only communication a baby can do is to cry and mothers not sure what to do, if only babies do speak like grown people so that it won't be hard for the parents, but that is just how it is to be. And I am very tired and so sleepy, I never had enough sleep last night nor Casey. Having a baby is such a wonderful thing but a baby being sick? Oh, is not a good thing too. But today is the Easter Sunday and.....
HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!!!
Morian got lots of toys... eggs, duck, chicken, rabbit etc. Some books from Grandma and Easter toys from us, his Papa and Mama, and toys from Uncle Corey as well. He got lots of Easter stuff. I know he enjoyed what happened today but being sick is not what we expected.
But I hope he'll be fine pretty soon.

I'm grateful for the atoning sacrifice of the Savior Jesus Christ. Because of him we were atoned from our sins and we'll be able to come back to our Heavenly Father's presence as long as we live obediently and to walk on His ways. Today is Easter Sunday, where we know that Jesus Christ is risen today. I am grateful for His unconditional love for all of us and for what He has done for us. I know He lives and He is my Savior, and My Lord.
HAPPY EASTER TO ALL...

Just dropping by...

It's wonderful today, actually later today because at 6pm we are going to the church for a dinner, it's actually a fund raising I think for the scouts. And the ticket only cost 3 dollars. And we are going to help for their funds and plus my brother in law is the scout master. So I am thinking and I hope that there will be tons of members that are going for this event.

And Morian today is not feeling good, he acts so fuzzy and last night at 3am, he woke up and was crying so much, and well it is not a good thing because the last time he did that when we were in Tucson, visiting my aunt that time because he was sick, and he acts like it, but I hope he will feel better today.

Casey the other seems so different and before we went to bed a few nights ago, he told me that, that day he was so happy and that he couldn't explain, and he told me that he loves me so much and the reason why he was happy well this is what he told me because, I was the one who drove him to work. And well it was kind of sweet of him... Well, I hope my driving thing will work out pretty good and I can't wait to get my drivers license and I hope to get it pretty soon and to be able to drive really good as well.

Okay, I have to move because I only have a few minutes to get ready Morian and myself and it's dinner time at church! :D

Driving while Sick.

Today is another day that I went driving, and I think I did well. I need to actually drive more often because my Instructional Permit would be expired by May 1st of this year and that I need to get it before hand. And I am hoping that I would be able to get it on or before then. I just wish that I could always go driving or drive by myself, of course I can't because I should always have someone with me in the car while I drive the car with someone that has a drivers license. But I know at first driving is pretty scary but when you get used to it then it is not too scary at all. Well, and this day I have a terrible nose that is congested and right now it is runny and this is really hard because when you have colds it makes you really weak, I mean that is just me especially if there's nothing to do much. I just don't like these smokes, dusts and everything that makes my nose get irritated though. But I hope to feel better pretty soon. Well just to say thank you to my friend Maritess Cahova for telling me a very wonderful thing. Thanks Tess!
