Follow the rainbow to my heartbreak...![]()


First of all let me just say how profoundly saddened I am by the events in New Orleans. I have several really close friends that live in New Orleans itself and I still haven't heard from them. I can only pray that they are okay and were not in the storm itself. To think that in such a time as this all people could be thinking about is robbing and looting and shooting each other just makes me sick!
I physically cannot stand what this country is coming to and makes me think twice about possibly bringing a child into this world.
Second, I just wanted to brag alittle about a very special little boy in my life. My nephew Nathaniel is 5 years old this year and just started kindergarten last week. See this is a very special time for my family as Nate is autistic and we thought that he wouldn't be able to go to public school. Let me just tell you that little kid loves his class!!! I went to pick him up today with my sister and of course he was ecstatic to see us, but before he left class he just had to hug each and every one of his teachers good-bye. Then he just had to say good-bye to his friends in his class. Now keep in mind that his speech is very slurred and he doesn't vocalize well, so to hear him talking and laughing and giggling with his classmates was so incredible that I still am awed by it. I have two nieces and two nephews. (one is a step nephew) And I have to say Nate is my favorite...not because he's special or because I have been a big part of his life since the day he was born, but because that little boy just seems to have his Aunt KiKi wrapped around his little pinky. I know it's bad to spoil autistic children, but I can't seem to help it. Whenever I can I always rent him new movies and take him to McDonald's. Get him new shoes or an outfit.
His parents aren't the wealthiest people, but I do the same for his sister, it just seems like the reason I spend that money is for him and then I just do the same for his sister... Is that bad???
Don't get me wrong I love Amelia and she is like my angel, but Nate is the reason for my season. (Stupid I know but it's how I feel) (Anyone wish it was Christmas?)
Oh, well I guess I better go....by the way....people please DONATE BLOOD....DONATE CANNED FOODS AND OLD BLANKETS, CLOTHING, BEDDING, OTHER THINGS THAT COULD MAKE A PERSON'S LIFE EASIER. Many people in New Orleans lost their entire households, so please if you can't afford to give money, give things you don't need like extra blankets.
