Blog Candy – I Never Want to Forget

I never want to forget what God has done for us. When my husband was out of work, our milk would stay at half till I had money to buy more. The same with the gas in the car. That is just 2 of the wonderful things He did during that time.ReplyCancel

I never want to forget how much I owe my family and friends – both my parents have been gone for over twenty years now and I miss them every day; we nearly lost my husband over ten years ago but thankfully didn’t so that every day is a special one now. All the love and support out there, I never want to take any of that for granted – its too important.ReplyCancel

I never want to forget that the doctors told me I would never have children. And I have been blessed with two beautiful, perfect sons,whom I love more than life. I never want to forget how wonderful it was to hold them for the first time, and everytime there after, and even today.ReplyCancel

Wow, nice blog candy. i love reading your blog and getting inspiration from you. I don’t want to ever forget trips to my grandma’s house during the summer. I would stay with her for a week at a time and I loved every minute of it. jamieReplyCancel

I never want to forget how sweet it was to be a young mother. My kids are now 29 and 25, and I have a grandson. Though I rejoice every day at my “empty nest”, which is a compliment to our raising independent children, it was such a precious time of life.ReplyCancel

I will never forget the last day I spent with my grandfather before he passed away. This moment is so precious in my heart. I will never forget his eyes, the way he looked at me for the last time. Never forget the last words I whispered to his ears.. I miss him so much.ReplyCancel

I never want to forget how special my parents were and the values they instill in my sister and me. We were raised in a Christian home where family is important. Thanks for doing these blog candies.

I never want to forget the look on my mother’s face when she was playing with her grandchildren. Her greatest joy was spending time with each and every one of them. She’s been gone 16 years this month and I miss her more than anything.ReplyCancel

One thing I never want to forget is to tell people that I love how important they are to me and to let them know I love them every day. All to soon life and loved ones can be taken from us and I want to know that I showed my love both by telling and showing them that they were loved.ReplyCancel

I am very blessed with children who have taught me a lot about the world and what is going on in various other countries. Because of this, my family is very active in protesting and supporting the people in Tibet and trying to make the world more aware of their situation. They have been occupied by China since 1950 when His Holiness, the Dalai Lama escaped Tibet in a dangerous journey through the Himalayas. Since then many Tibetans have taken the same path and many have died.

It has taught me a lot about being an American and the freedoms we have. We whine a lot about what we have and what we don’t have–yet in Africa when the black people were finally granted the right to vote they waited in line for several hours to cast votes. In America the apathy is evident in how many people vote. We are very fortunate to live in a country where we can’t be thrown in prison for voicing our opinion. Even bad health care in third world countries would be welcomed.

I will never forget my friends who are Tibetan and who are Sudanese and the hardships they have faced. I will never forget how blessed I am. I will never forget kindness shown me.

I never want to forget the courage it took for my father to live out his last days with lung cancer as he awaited the birth of my daughter. My daughter was two weeks old when I took her to meet him. Days later, he slipped into a coma and passed away.ReplyCancel

i never want to forget how God uses sad and painful events in my life for His good. my mom has terminal cancer and has been lingering for what seems like a long time, but it has pulled my family together and has healed some rifts between my three sisters and me.ReplyCancel

I never want to forget my Mom’s voice. She’s been gone for almost 5 years and I still can’t get used to it.ReplyCancel

I never want to forget to be grateful everyday for all the blessings God has given me. We take so much for granted on a daily basis and we need to get up in the morning thanking God for everything in our lives.ReplyCancel

I never want to forget that there is very little “pure luck” in this life

Hi Becca,
My parents had a very beautiful dinnerset which was used only on ‘special occasions’. I remember the last occasion we used the dinnerset with my dad, just one month before he died. We live a whole day’s drive away from my dad, and my brother called us to say that his health was deteriorating and if we wanted to see him as a family while he was still well enough to enjoy our company we should go that weekend. So, we did, and for the last meal we enjoyed together, I prepared my dad’s absolute favorite food, and we used that dinnerset. When saw it, he said, ‘Should we be using this, it’s for special occasions?’ I told him that the most special thing in the world for me was to be enjoying a meal with him (my mom had already passed away) and my family. He agreed. That was the last occasion my son and my dad ever saw each other. Three weeks later, my 18 year old son was almost killed in a very serious motor vehicle accident, and ended up in hospital for 13 months, with severe brain damage. A week my dad died, while my son was still in a coma. I never want to forget the blessing of that family time together, or that every day with our family is special – we never know when we will have to say goodbye. We need to cherish each moment with those we love, and to remember what a blessing they are.
Bless you Becca, and thank your for the memory :)

If at first you don’t succeed at winning blog candy on Becca’s blog, try, try, again :D Thanks for yet another kick at the can!

I never want to forget the year I worked with Billy Graham in Amsterdam. I lived there for a year and help set up Amsterdam ’86, a conference for itinerant evangelists. The conference was attended by about 8,000 participants from all over the world and the staff had tears streaming down our faces when the first ones arrived. One of the highlights of that conference was sharing communion with all the evangelists! I was a taste of what heaven will be like!!! Many nationalities, languages, customs all in one room sharing one common faith and service to Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior. Simply life changing…!ReplyCancel

Never want to forget that I have such great friends who are there for me in good and not such good times.ReplyCancel

Becky, In the last few years so many in my family have died. My younger sister, mother, aunts, and uncles. My oldest daughter has MS and that has been the hardest thing to deal with. I thank the Lord that she is still able to walk and be here for her husband and two children. She has a lot of health problems, but thank the Lord she is still able to enjoy life. You are so talented. Amazing Paper Grace is a GOOD name for your site. RitaReplyCancel

I never want to forget my stepfather kenny the inspiration he gave me in the 16 years he was in my life, an incredable human being, he was a paraplegic from polio at a young age, didt want but there was nothing he could not do. he took care of 2 acres sitting down, owned his own firm as a cpa, and yet never had a complaint, he is where i got the values that i have today as a nurse, for 31 years. he always had time for you, nothing but a great man and a great dad.

I never want to forget my mom. I was taken away from her along with my brother when i was 5 and he 6. I know she had her alcoholic issues, but i knew she loved us, she tried and tried to break that nasty disease but in the end she lost us to foster care. She took her life soon after. I miss her and wish that she could of found some peace and i could of had her in my life. I would of loved to tell her of Jesus and his Love and how He could of filled that hole she was trying fill with the alcohol. I named my only daughter after her in honor of my forever love for my mom.
Thanks Becca for the change to win. I pray for your friend that he will get Gods healing.ReplyCancel

Sweet blog candy! I never want to forget how precious are family can be in times of stress. We lost our great nephew last week at 19 years of age. I never want to forget his smile.ReplyCancel

I never want to forget my granparents, they lived in Missouri and we live in Washington state but we took the 3 day trip by train there as much as possible to visit, spend weeks during the summer I remember baking sugar cookies with my grandma and playing dominos and with my grandfather fishing and chasing frogs and looking at his collection of what ever little things he would find on the street and put in jars. It was a joy to visit I would wish those days could come back but they will always be in my memories. They have been gone many years and wish my children would of known them they were too young to remember my grandfather but they did meet their great grandma and built memories with her. Those were the days.
Blessings to your friends that came back into your life and a special prayer to the friend with health concerns.

I never want to forget my wonderful dad that I lost recently. I was very fortunate to spend the last year and half of his life with him on a daily basis at the nursing home that he ended up after a massive heart attack. I will always remember his stories that he would wait for me to come so he could share with me. I will miss him, but I will never forget him.
Bless him!

I never want to forget the “smell” I remember when coming home from school and my mother had made homemade bread. You couldn’t wait to dig into the bread fresh and warm from the oven. She has been gone since 1992 and I miss her a lot.ReplyCancel

Hello Becca…
There are many things I never want to forget but one sticks out in my mind always..
It was during WW2 and my father was being sent overseas. We all went with him to Grand Central Station and it was so awkward and it felt like something formal..Everyone trying to be strong and brave but when my Dad said good bye to my sister and I and then to my mom I saw a tear in his eye.
I had never seen my father like that before. For some reason we always saw him as a warrior going to fight for our country. Strong.
This time I saw something more real to me and I felt it. He loved us much more than he was comfortable showing. He was always formal and military. Clair De Lune was playing and to this day when I hear Debussy’s Clair De lune I still always think of my father and that he loved us. It was hard for him to say goodbye. He didn’t know if he would ever see us again…and we the same.
That one tear told me more than I ever knew about my father.
It still touches me. How hard it is for loved ones to say goodbye when they have to go off to war.
I feel for military families..they carry the burden for all of us..

My Dad did come home about 3 years later and was soon transferred again. It was not an easy life for my mom and for us.ReplyCancel

I never want to forget God’s love and care and that it matters to Him about me.ReplyCancel

I never want to forget the times, I spent at my Aunt’s eating fruit from one of the trees round her house, as she is the Aunt who named me and is the only realtive left on my father’s side she’s 82 and has a very bad heart and live by herself in the country and I worry about her now. She’s had 3 open heart surgey’s and can not have another one. And I do not want to forget my son who died of heart failure on the operating table at the age of 21 months. He had his first heart surgey at 7 days.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca- You have a nack of getting us to think and open up to you. Thank you for your generousity in giving us the chance to win all this lovely candy.
I have so much in my life I never want to forget, but today it has to be my Gran. She passed away 1 year ago today and although I am still very raw in my emotions and miss her terribly, I also give thanks for the 100 years of her life and of her love for our Lord Jesus and for me.

I never want to forget the day the Lord saved me. At the age of 18 I had already lived a life of a hundred year old person I was going to shoot myself in St Mary’s church, when I walked in I screamed for some one to help me, my life was hopeless, my life was painful, I was unwanted and unloved and and I was screaming for my life, but no one came I pulled out the gun and put it to my head pulled back the trigger when all of a sudden the Holy Spirit spoke to me and told me to fall on my knees and cry out to God, Why not; I had tried every thing else, so I fell on my knees and cried out “God if you are really there show yourself to me” and a power fell on me cleansing me of sin washing me with unconditional love, I wept and wept, and HE washed and washed My life was never the same again, it is a Day I can never forget..ReplyCancel

I never want to forget the joy of family. We were a large and close knit family when I was growing up during and just after WW II. Several of my cousins and brothers have started to share pictures from long ago. There is a picture of one of my then young aunts with several of us cousins and it was fun to figure out who was who. Then I shared a portrait of our grandparents on the occasion of their 40th wedding anniversary. Most of the old pictures are black and white because that was before color pictures. There is one of my Grandmother at age 12. The picture more than 100 years old and it is a treasure to me. I never want to forget the treasure and the gift that is family

I never want to and should never forget the constant blessings Our father in Heaven rains down on us daily. So often we forget to look for them and they are always there…something…reminding us He is always here and everywhere. Blessings on your daily adventures with Him.ReplyCancel

I never want to forget how much my parents loved me and the life lessons they taught me. I’m in the midst of a very ugly situation with my siblings after my mom joined my dad in heaven. Even though the siblings are trying to break me, I hold fast to the truth in my heart that is strengthened each day by God’s blessings. My parents and our heavenly Father know my heart and no matter what life tosses at me, even petty siblings, I rest in peace with that fact.ReplyCancel

Dear Becca,
Prayers for your friend Mackey.
My beloved Dad passed away just over a year ago after a 5-year battle with cancer. He knew my heart was breaking during those last couple of days when there was nothing more that could be done for him… and his last words to me were ‘All is well’. I will never ever forget how he put aside his own pain and grief to comfort me, when it should have been the other way around. I loved him so much. I miss him every day.

My heart goes out to your reader, Hilda (#104 above). I hope her daughter comes back to her with love.

Hugs,

I never want to forget summers in Wisconsin. I used to ride my bike to the local beach and go swimming almost every day even though we lived on the lake the beach didn’t have yucky stuff in it. If you lived on the lake and didn’t clean out the sea weed it was horrible to swim in. The lake was a magical place for me. If you went to the beach you could walk on the old trolly tracks out to an island. Every once and awhyle we would swim out and visit the lady who lived there. Those trolly tracks always got my imagination going.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca
As ever you are so very generous with your blog candy !!!
I have so many things I never want to forget. The love I received from my parents, the dangerous births of my two son’s, the elation I felt at the birth of our first grandchild and the second one too, as well as being at my father’s side as he died. As well as the illness I have had and the long fight to get back to being ME. But most of all that I am a child of God and HE loves me no matter what :o)
Love you, CandyReplyCancel

I never want to forget the sound of my sons’ sweet voices when they were little boys— especially one word— the way they said “mommy.” So sweet & with so much love.
Best wishes for your friend. Big hugs to you both :)ReplyCancel

I never want to forget where I came from and the circumstances in which I was reared so I can appreciate and be thankful for all the blessings that God has given me today and tomorrow. :-DReplyCancel

I will not forget we have a mighty God.

When my daughter was 18 weeks pregnant an untrasound was done. The baby was diagnosed with a long list of things ‘wrong.’ The doctor gave them the option of terminating the pregnancy. However, my daughter and her husband believed that God gave them this baby.

We didn’t know if the baby would survive the pregnancy or after delivery. She spent two weeks in the NICU. God healed many of the original medical issues but she still had a few; cleft palate, club feet and some skeletal issues.

She is now 18 months and a nutball! Someone forgot to give her the memo explaining she has a few ‘problems.’ She still doesn’t walk but gets around fast enough on her hands and feet (her mom calls it ‘the spider walk’). She is a chatterbox. Her ENT believes she will not need a second surgery on her palate or speech therapy. Her orthopedeist is still working on the skeletal problems.

I can’t imagine life without her!ReplyCancel

I never want to forget…
that on father’s day in 2001 my husband Ron had a massive heart attack, but came through with relatively little damage (compared to the fact the attack went on for over 18 hours) He was released on Thursday evening after a stress test. They scheduled him at Deborah Hospital the following week for Catherization of the heart. The next day was uneventful with Ron playing on the computer and watching TV. On Saturday morn we got up and had breakfast and he went on the computer, about 30 munutes later, he said to me, I am going to lay down for a little bit. I asked if he was ok, he said his arm hurt. (left arm)
I am going to back up a bit here(The original heart attack woke him around 3am father’s day morning in the side and armpit area, he thought it was a gas bubble or something and did NOT wake me til 8:45 am and said i think we better go to the Hospital…he NEVER would voluntarily go to the hospital for anything) I said to him, Ron maybe we should go back to the hospital, he said no, I think it was from being on the computer. (he was merely clicking and scrolling…so that would be right hand) It took me 20 minutes to convince him.

we went. It was another heart attack, same spot…up to the CCU unit he went for 4 days, then traveled by ambulance to Deborah (The world-infamous heart & lung hospital) they made him comfy and the next day they cathed him. he had a total blockage in the one Cardiac artery, and they show me another blockage that was more than 45% so they recommended they take care of that also. I agreed. so the next day he had double bypass surgery.

so Father’s day, is two celebration’s for him…one for being a dad, and one for staying alive!! He is a grumbly bear but he is my grumbly bear and I still Thank God everyday for not taking him from us.ReplyCancel

I never want to forget that I came from a very poor family and had to wear used clothing all the time. Today that part of my childhood has made a huge difference in my life – I am now extremely poor and at this age!!! ($933 a month RX bill) And I am as poor as poor can be and who would have believed that it could and would happen the same as it did my parents in the 40’s and 50’s, only difference…… it hit me when my kids were raised and long gone and I’m all alone and they have absolutely no idea. I am truly thankful that they have no idea, I do not have to deal with them like I have to deal with my self. Did I learn a lot in those years? Yes I did, a WHOLE LOT.

Being from a poor family you appreciate things much more when you get older and you know how to survive when you are really down and out of money. You learn what bills must be paid, you learn how to pay them, you learn not to eat out, you learn how much money you can save by eating at home, you learn how to keep yourself occupied at home so you don’t use up your gas driving around out of loneliness, you learn not to spend money, you learn how much money you have to live on and most of all you learn how to live on it. You also must make the decision that you have to make the choice, get your prescriptions or eat – truth it is…. But remember, God only gives us what we can handle and we learn how to handle it and I thank God every day that I am still walking because I know for a fact that one day I may not be. And YES, I DO thank God each and every day.

And I thank Becca for allowing me an opportunity to enter to win such a huge amount of craft things. I can surely make very good use of them and would be very grateful if I was to win them. If I don’t win I will still be very grateful to have had an opportunity to try to win them along with the education you have given me, Becca, with your card making.

Bless You for that.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca – What a perfect time to run into old friends!

I lost my Mom just one year ago and I never want to forget the warmth in her hands as I held them the last time, and how she always smelled baby powder fresh, and her skin was so soft. I never want to forget all the times we laughed together and that the good and bad times are what have made me who I am.

So hold on to all your friends because they are so precious and life is too short!

Thanks for the chance at fun candy!

This is very interesting Becca! Well, I know I won’t forget my family and good friends who are such blessings, that’s just a given!
But something I never want to forget is the feel of the spring sunshine when winter is finally over, or the sounds of the birds as they return from the south, the smell of the earth after the rain and the sight of the beautiful wild flowers blooming in the meadow, the violets especially!
It renews my faith in God every time!ReplyCancel

I never want to forget to appreciate the little things and to never forget to take things for granted :) I will never forget what it is like to love and be loved and the joy of your own children, but it can be easy to forget the little things in life that can make all the difference if not to you, but to someone else :)ReplyCancel

I never want to forget the day my father passed away. I always felt like I was a Christian and that I truly believed, but that day I KNOW Jesus was with us as I felt HIS presence and though I was so very sorry to lose my Dad, I knew that he was taken by Jesus. My Dad put his hand out and one tear streamed down his cheek and that person we knew on earth was gone, but I knew then that he would live forever. It gave a whole new meaning to believing in Jesus Christ and life ever after. Thank you, dear Becca, for offering up another chance at this awesome blog candy.ReplyCancel

I never want to forget my grandmother, who passed away a few years ago. She was the best person I ever knew: kind, wise, talented, strong… She lived through the war and she survived, she got married and her mother-in-law was very unfair to her, yet her family survived all the miseries – and she and my grandpa celebrated the 50th wedding anniversary. She had a severe surgery, and she was strong enough to recover and she helped other women in hostipal to get back to normal life too! She loved her mother a lot, and even when my great grandma was very sick and helpless, my granny took care of her, so my great grandma passed away only at the age of 95 – all surrounded with love and care till the end of the day. And she showed me that mother-and-daughter relationship is so important – that helps me in my life greatly!

She was the one I admired and loved a lot, she was that ‘ideal of a woman’ for me. I wish I could have the same character features she had… When I’ll have a daughter I’ll give her my granny’s name (but that’s a secret, don’t tell anyone, please ;) ), I’ll never want to forget this wonderful woman!ReplyCancel

I never want to forget the fowers my husband used to get me (and still occasionally does but they are harder to get in the country where we live now) and nowadays my 8 year old son picks and arranges for me. My son actually does a great job. Thanks for another chance at winning blog candy – you are very generous indeed!ReplyCancel

I never want to forget all those who have passed my through my life, especially the goods ones. I never want to forget those who weren’t the best for me because without them I would not have lessons learned.

I never want to forget the good times I’ve had with my parents. My Mom died quite young from ALS. My Dad is now in a nursing home and has Alzheimer’s.

Your blog is so inspiring Becca and I just love reading your daily updates. I never want to forget how much joy my two children brought to me while raising them.

I never want to forget what it’s like to be a child on summer vacation. To lie on the grass and gaze at a clear blue sky and be amazed at the wonders of the world. I will pray for your friend.ReplyCancel

Becca, thank you so much for #1 offering the blog candy, #2 for being such an inspiration to all of us. At times all of us lose our mojo, but I know I can come to Amazing Paper Grace and find mine again, always! You are absolutely the most talented lady I have seen…your ideas, designs and implementation of them are over the top.
There are many things that I never want to forget….the sound of a baby cooing, my husband’s voice saying “I love you”, my grandchildren saying “love you Memaw”, the sound of the ocean rushing to the shore. I could go on and on but you get the idea – I treasure every moment.ReplyCancel

I never want to forget the last day I say my Mom. We’d gone for a weekend visit. Unusual, as Hubby never went with me. We had a fabulous time, talked old times, discussed the future & just turned the corner from Mom/Daughter into friends. When leaving, Hub & I said – “I don’t want to leave…” We didn’t want it to end.

Two nights later, she died. I lived far enough away, that I wasn’t able to say goodbye.

It’s bee 10 years & I still miss her madly. I can’t wait to meet up with her again. What a joy that will be.ReplyCancel

I never want to forget what God has done for me – He saved me! Wow, He saved me!! What love…what a sacrifice….for me! I never want to forget!

I never want to forget the good times I have with my husband. He is my best friend and my soul mate. He is going through some real hard times right now. He has had 2 back surgeries and still has terrible pain, I remember the fun times when we could walk on the beaches when we were on vacation and be care free.ReplyCancel

Becca, you must be a very thoughtful person, thoughtful of others but full of thoughts. The things you ask us to do on your blog candy show us that and while the blog candy is nice and I wouldn’t mind winning, the things you get us to reflect on is its own reward. I never want to forget the love of my Lord and what He did for me on Calvary. That is the easiest to think of. Tomorrow may take a little more thought.ReplyCancel

Mackey is in my prayers, Becca!
What i never want to forget is to treasure each moment we have.

What a dee-light for you to have friends “reappear”……they are treasures no matter when they bless our lives!

I will never forget that the Lord blessed me 26 years ago by curing my cancer. HE had a plan for my life and has enabled me to enjoy EACH day that he gives me.

Your art continues to bless me, Becca. Thank you, and I will put Mackey on the tip of my tongue in prayer!ReplyCancel

I never want to forget the first date with my husband. We went out to eat & that’s about all but it was the beginning of our relationship. We’ll be married 25 years this August & I am so blessed to have him. I am so thankful for that first date & look forward to the next 25 years with him by my side.ReplyCancel

I can’t believe how many people posted so late at night and early in the morning! We must have a lot of people who don’t sleep.

I don’t ever want to forget that God is in control of this difficult time in my life. Things seem out of control (my control) but I know he has my best interests in mind. He has never failed me. I just need to trust him for an uncertain (to me) future. He is still working on me!ReplyCancel

I never want to forget that God will never give me anything that He won’t help me deal with.ReplyCancel

Thank you for offering the wonderful blog candy. I will never forget the time I spent alone on the beach as a child at our family cabin. After being in my family for over 100 years, we are being forced to sell it. It will be sad that my children and grandchildren will not have it to enjoy for their lives too.ReplyCancel

Something I never want to forget? Well, I’m in a group of women who like to make cards too! I’ve known this one lady has health problems. She’s always reaching out! Her work shows just how much she really struggles to do her creating! I try to encourage her and find something to compliment her on, in her creations! It’s SO SWEET, because when I compliment her… She “goes to town!” Pretty soon, there are several of that very creation I’ve complimented her on. All just a little different! :) I never want to forget, I could be her, except by the grace of God!ReplyCancel

Becca, my heart goes out to your friend Mackey. We just lost my precious cousin Kathy in September from pancreatic & liver cancer. I’ll pray for him.

I never ever want to forget how my Grandmother incorporated herself into my life. I know that her guidence has helped me become a better person. She never judged anyone and when I find myself starting to talk about a person I can hear her telling me to think first and then speak.ReplyCancel

Thank you for offering this wonderful blog candy, I follow your blog and am inspired by your fantastic creations. I never want to forget the day that Jesus picked me as his child and I was born again. Life has never been the same since and now my husband is also born again, halleluia!!ReplyCancel

I never want to forget the many many times my mom & I would get up early on Sat mornings & hit the yard sales. We had so much fun. I sure do miss her a lot.ReplyCancel

I never want to forget all these past 2 years since my son was born, seeing him growing up way too fast that I want to cherish this moment as he’s achieving milestones. Winning this candy blog will help me to scrapbook those moments. Thanks so much for the opportunity, Becca!ReplyCancel

I never want to forget how my life changed many years ago when my daughter literally dragged me to a church and the Holy Spirit touched my heart and turned my life around in one swift move. They say miracles do happen and I am a living testament to that. The minister of that church will never know what happened to me during that service. I don’t know if it was what he said or if I was just at the right place where I was supposed to be at that time. I’ve heard that you do not have to look for the Lord – he finds you when it’s time but it’s up to you from that point on what you do with it. I will never forget that moment – it was a miracle.ReplyCancel

Becca, I will add Mackey’s name to the prayer list at church this Sunday. I will pray for him as he has a very painful road ahead. Jan.12,2009 my friend passed away from pancreatic cancer. She slowly deteriorated in front of us as each day took its toll. I remember the times we went to garage sales and always brought some treasure home for her grand-children. We had such fun and the days were filled with laughter. I miss her dearly and she is always in my thoughts.ReplyCancel

I am so sorry to hear your news. I understand completely how you are feeling. This has been a tough year for the family, but through it all we have God to turn to and for that I am very grateful. My Father-in-Law had a heart attack in November, the Doctors had a meeting with the family after a week in the hospital and no response from my Father-in-Law and said prepare for the worst. Thanks to god he woke up the next morning and to this day is doing ok. My Mother-in-Law ended up in the emergency room and going into surgery a month ago. She had a very serious problem with her stomach. And if that wasn’t enough, Brad’s Aunt went in for surgery, very risky surgery, and she didn’t come through surgery well, the family took her off life support and she passed fifteen minutes later. As I said, it has been a tough year. I am very grateful for my relationship with our Lord.ReplyCancel

Becca,
Of course I always want to remember the best of times. The great loving family, all the wonderful friends, the cherished childhood memories, etc. But I also want to remember the bad times in life (and there were several years of my life that would be much easier to just forget ), but the combination of both has made me who I am. The tough times made me strong & independant. The good times and there were and are so many that I feel so blessed to have, they rounded out the rough edges of my life. I just never want to forget that for all the bad there is much more good to be thankful for.

I thank God every day for all the wonderful things I have – my husband, my children & grandchildren, my family & all of those who make up our extended family. I hope I never forget to be thankful for what I do have instead of what I don’t have.

I never want to forget how my mother would stop her cleaning or cooking and start dancing with us kids in the living room. We would all be laughing and dancing. There were many little things like this that showed me how much my mother loved us. Thanks for letting me remember a happy thought.ReplyCancel

I never want to forget all these years I have been a caretaker for my dad who is now 92 years old. I know that there isn’t much time left with him and I want to remember and cherish these days.

Thank you for the opportunity to win some blog candy.

I am sorry to hear about your friend Mackey.ReplyCancel

I never want to forget Godly parents. I see my Father aging greatly over the last few years, but that’s just the body. He is still spiritually great in my eyes.ReplyCancel

I never want to forget the pure joy of learning I was to have our first child and the feeling of being so blessed by God that He would grant me that wish, as well as a wonderful Father for our child who always loves me and helps me daily still!ReplyCancel

The “thing” I NEVER want to forget: always remember to tell those you care about that you love them, think they are special, etc. My pastor while growing up, moved his family so they could be closer to their extended family.

While driving to school one night, he was killed in a head-on car collision. Almost 1 year later, their son was killed in a 4-wheeler accident. Life is always TOO SHORT; be sure your loved ones, friends, family, etc. know how you feel.

Thanks for the chance to win Becca; I always enjoy visiting your blog. Prayers going out for Mackey too!ReplyCancel

I never want to forget how excited I get to see your new creations. Keep it up, we all enjoy it.ReplyCancel

I never want to forget the saving power of Christ’s blood. He gave His all to redeem me from my sins. Praise His name! Thanks for offering the blog candy. I’ll be praying for Mackey.ReplyCancel

First I never want to forget our Lord and Savior. I lost my husband almost three years ago to osteoporosis due to cancer treatments. Living alone I spend a lot of time talking and praying to God. He makes loneliness bearable as he gave me a granddaughter in return who I love, love, love to pieces. Second, I never want to forget to be there for someone even though it doesn’t seem that serious. My husband went in for a (what we considered to be simple) procedure. (He’d had two previously with no complications.) He had a pulmonary embolism and passed on during this procedure. I didn’t feel well and surgery was running behind, so I had gone home on his insistence and planned on picking him up next day as usual. I try to never take anything for granted anymore. Third, you blog candy looks absolutely yummy! Thanks for the opportunity to win. I love your cards; most are so beautifully elegant. You are on my fav list.ReplyCancel

Thanks for sharing all your creative greatness! I love reading your blog – there’s always a fresh idea here!ReplyCancel

Hi Becca-

May the good Lord bless your friends!! You asked to write something that I will never forget-that’s a hard one. There are so many things I do not want to forget and the first is that I would not be who I am today, if Jesus Christ was not in my life. Most grateful for the price He paid to save me from myself. Second, my wonderful hubby- he slow danced with me yesterday afternoon and pledge to be faithful to me for another 24 yrs of our married life!! Too sweet!! Third, my daughter’s weddings. Life is short, enjoy the ride!!

I never want to forget the smell of spring when I was a little girl. The first time the windows are open after a long winter. The smell of the air and the cool feel of the breeze in the morning as I sat and ate my breakfast. I haven’t thought about that in a long time. But the first thing that came to mind just now was that. Amazing after all I have been through in my life, this came to mind. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

I never want to forget November 17th, 2006, the day I met my future husband. We had been in the same circles for a long time but had never had a conversation until we were at a social event and ended up being the only people left standing around. We struck up a conversation and ended up talking until 4:00 in the morning! It was basically love at first sight and now after over 3 years of a solid relationship and friendship, we are planning on getting married.ReplyCancel

But thanks to a new machine back then (called a Ultra Sound Machine) she was alive and healthy. I was the first to have the Ultra Sound Machine used to help in our local hospital. The hospital had received it 2 days before. That was in August of 1978. My daughter was born October of 1978. She now a mother of my 3 grandchildren.ReplyCancel

Hi! I just retired from a small public library after 30 years of service. I never want to forget how many people thought enough of me to wish me well. When I got home later that evening it took me over one hour to open all the cards and gifts I had received. All my life I have thought of myself as forgetable. I guess I’m not. Thanks for a great blog and fantastic ideas. I want to be you when I grow up!!ReplyCancel

I never want to forget the day Josslyn, Brielle and Jordan came to stay with us while their parents went off to serve our country in Afghanistan! The twins who are identical were 4 months and 3 days old. Jordan was 2 years 7 months old. Over the next 15 months I became their mother, and yes I was 60 years old! That first day and the highs and lows inbetween will be etched in my heart forever. I also never will forget the day their parents came to reclaim them and I went into a grieving process that only God could see me through. My journey with God through many ages and stages of my life I will NEVER forget!

Oh I’m so excited to get to tell you something else I hope I never forget…the miracle of life moving inside my body! Oh there is just nothing that compares! After having 4 miscarriages, I never thought I would have this experience. With constant dreams and never-ending prayers, God finally blessed me with 3 of the most precious gifts I could ever receive. Even though my youngest is now 18, I still remember the feelings of his movements and the sound of his heart beating! These I hope I never forget!

I never want to forget how my Mom told me that when I felt like I was all along, I still had God and her! There have been times in my life when I did feel like I was all alone..but God’s love shows me that he is with me always and I hold my Mom in my heart always!ReplyCancel

I never want to forget:

That even though I was very sick with MRSA in 2005, which ended in a LOT of permanent damage to my left wrist…loss of 3 bones, ligaments, muscles and having permanent nerve damage. IT could have taken the whole hand and it almost did. it also could have gotten into the blood stream and killed me. Obviously God sent me a guardian angel.

I never want to forget that we are never alone. I shared a comment on your blog several months ago about my daughter being diagnosed with Celiacs Disease and the challenges we faced as she began Gluten-Free living. Well, two of your readers reached out to me with information because they, too, have relatives that need to follow a GF diet. Not only did they reach out to me after reacing my comment, but they check in with me from time with new information to share or just to say hi and see how it is going. As the saying goes, “it takes a village…” and thisvillage of scrappers is absolutely wonderful! Thanks Becca for offering blog candy with meaning. Whether you pull my name or not, I have already won a prize!ReplyCancel

I never want to forget how precious Each Day is. We often take for granted the ability to be able to get up each morning and carry on through the day. I have M.S. and I often wonder if a morning will come that I can’t get out of bed and walk. I give thanks to God each day (I confess that I slip up sometimes on that!) that I can get out of bed, feel my feet on the floor and get on with my day. God blesses me every day with new opportunities.
Thanks Becca for your continued encouragement in all things – Craft ideas and spiritual enrichment.
Blessings. xReplyCancel

I have never forgotten when I was in Jr. High or my first year in High School at Babylon High School in Babylon, Long Island, NY and I met a new friend. Lucille Silva was her name, we called her Lucy. Lucy and I became fast friends then one day she asked me if I wanted any clothes and being as shy as I was and very afraid that my mother would get really mad at me if I got some clothes so I hesitated to tell her yes but some how she must have known because she brought me some big brown paper grocery bags full of clothes, clothes that were really stuffed tight in those bags. That day we walked home from school together carrying those bags of clothes to my house. Sad as it seems but lucky for me my mother wasn’t home so we carried them upstairs to my bedroom then Lucy went home. I anxiously sorted them, put them on hangers and folded what needed to be folded. I had barely finished when I heard my mother yelling at me because I was in my room and not outside of the house the way she wanted it with me. I went down stairs and told her about the clothes so she went right up stairs and inspected them and…. she approved of them and I got to keep them.

I am absolutely positively sure that God was watching over me that day because I didn’t get in trouble for taking them and for being inside the house. With all those clothes Lucy made me feel like a real person, a really real person. I wore those clothes so many times until I wore them out….. But in those bags was one really special piece of clothing. The year was 1957and we wore those black and white or brown and white “saddle shoes” to school. It was the year of Poodle Skirts!!! YES….There was a really nice poodle skirt and I was so delighted that I wore it to school the next day. Wouldn’t it be nice to have that Poodle Skirt today?

Shortly after Lucy gave me all those clothes she moved to Yonkers, NY and in the summer of ’58 we moved to Southern California where we still live today. Sadly Lucy and I lost contact. My mother would not let me write to her, she said postage cost too much money and she was not giving me any stamps. But today….. All I can hope for is that Lucy knows how really grateful I was that she thought enough of me to give me all those clothes – we were only 16 then. And all I can ask for is to hear from Lucy again, even just for one more time. So Lucy, if you are out there I’m looking for you, please contact me. If any one knows Lucy Silva please tell her Peggy Houtenbrink is looking for her. My legal name is Margaret and my married name is Thompson that’s why it appears at the top of this email.

I thought long and hard about this question. I have so much I never want to forget.
First of all I have prayed for your friend Mackey and his family. I rejoice for your friend that has now been re born. wow!
Last year my darling hubby Doug went through chemo and radiation for colon cancer. A hard and difficult test for the both of us. This year it was found that the cancer had gone to his liver. On the first of this month he had three quarters of his liver removed. Five days later he was home and almost feeling completely well. Through the prayers of many we believe he has been completely healed. Even the doctors at the hospital called him their miracle man. He has never once complained or said a negative word through all this but stayed positive and trusting of his Lord.
Two years earlier I had a double mastectomy for cancer and a year before that my darling mother went to be with the Lord. I was blessed to looked after her for six years. I think she looked after me more.
This year what ever may come we are strong in God’s strength.

Reading through all the emails has been amazing. Some very sad and some so lovely. Trials make us strong and memories are so precious.
Every day is precious.

Even though I haven’t commented lately I just want to say how much I have enjoyed all your cards and tutorials Becca. You are a real blessing with your wonderful ideas.

I’ll never forget the sacrifices made by the men and women (and their families) who have served in our military. Like many, I have family and friends who have served–or are currently serving–in the military and I am thankful for all they do and pray every day for their safekeeping.

I never want to forget the that the most cherished memories I have always included those large family gatherings. I am so blessed to have been raised in a wonderful, loving & caring family who have always made me feel so special.

But, life is short, and of late, we have lost several of the elderly members (all in their late 80’s). Life goes on and new memories are in the making even as we speak.

I never want to forget the day that I became a mother. I looked upon the face of my son and I fell totally in love. I thought that I could never love any other child like I did him.

I never want to forget April 16, 2009. That was the day my daughter got married. I had 3 days to pull her wedding together – her fiance was being stationed in Washington state, and they decided they couldn’t stand to be apart for 2 years!

I never want to forget:

That even though 2 of my 3 children have ADHD and one additionally has ODD. They were all born healthy. Additionally they were each given gifts.
MY oldest daughter though now not so emotionally stable (has been through hell and back with men) she was born with great insight and communication skills. My son was born with a high end superior intelligence. (the other 2 scored in the superior intelligence also, just no where near as high as their brother) He was also given the gift of good humor, good imagination, and sensitivity. My youngest gift is music, she has a great ear for pitch, and picked up “reading music faster than most of her classmates. She is also sensitive. All three of them have some talent in the art field though it is a little different for each. God further blessed all three of them with good looks.

Knowing human anatomy and physiology, there is SO much that can go wrong in the early stages of a fertilized ovum…every baby born WITHOUT something wrong, truly is a miracle!!ReplyCancel

I never want to forget my Darling Mum and Dad who sadly passed away 12 year ago. All the wonderful memories I have of them . Also My Grandma and Grandad who lived with us and all the time spent playing with them when I was growing up.

Hi Becca

More things I don’t want to forget are some of the typical things my paremts said – probably many parents say. A couple of my favories are – when we would cry- mom would say ” the more you cry – the less you pee” and when we would fall or get a boo boo — Mom would tell me ” It will get better before you get married” What she didn’t know then was I would marry THREE times – Who knew??

Thanks Becca for all your inspirationReplyCancel

I never want to forget that I’m not perfect…and especially when I start thinking everyone else should be! I never want to forget where I might be in this world without having known all whom have shaped my life and the thousands or millions unknowns who have fought my battles for me even if I didn’t know battles needed to be fought or I was too afraid to fight them for myself.

I think there are a lot of things I never want to forget, and it’s really difficult to pick just one. I loved to take care of my babies when they were so little, and I remember the ‘baby smell.’ Nice soft powdered skin. Angelic faces as they slept, no matter what trouble they got into the day before. Lots of smiles and giggles as I tickled and talked to them… I remember what I was thinking and feeling when I was really little .. not a baby, but about 5 or 6. I think that’s called the circle of life…ReplyCancel

I never want to forget those little things my mom used to say that used to drive me crazy that I now hold as wonderful memories and wish I could hear her say them one more time…ReplyCancel

I never want to forget growing up in the 50’s-60’s when you were out side all the time playing, you had sleep overs outside taking the laundry stand and pinning blankets up around it and sleeping out under the stars, telling ghost stories, eating and laughing. School sock hops (dances) walking to the movie theater and seeing three movies, news clips and previews of other movies coming for a mear 50 cents. Now those were the days.

Thanks for the chance to win the blog candy and even if I dont win its great to remember what I hope to never forget.ReplyCancel

I never want to forget that even when my life seems to be totally out of control that it is completely in control IF I have turned it over to God.
It doesn’t depend on how things look or feel. It is the honest truth that if I give my life to God each day he will control all that comes into it.

I am a first time visitor to your blog and I am so thrilled to be here.
Thanks for all the sharing that you do.

I never want to forget the good times I had with my Oma. She passed away a little over a year ago and I miss her. She lived with my parents and sisters all through my childhood until a few years before she died.

On Friday afternoons we’d come home from school to freshly baked biscuits. She was such a blessing to all my family.ReplyCancel

I never want to forget one of the best Christmases ever. We had no money, we had moved from a house where we couldn’t afford heat to an apartment. My mother had no money for Christmas presents and the church showed up one day with our Christmas. They gave us our meal and presents for my sister and I who were young. It wasn’t much, but the thoughtfulness of the church will never be forgottenReplyCancel

I never want to forget the day I fell in love for the first time in my life. It was amazing, the feelings are unforgetable; though it ended up with a broken heart, that guy cheated on me and the whole situation brought a lot of misery to my life, it taught me a lot. And I do appreciate this experience for both: positive and negative reflections in my personality. First love is probably the strongest feeling of all.ReplyCancel

I was going through my mom’s recipes – wow what memories. I definately do not want to forget them. But I also found one that was my babysitter’s recipe for sugar cookies. I never want to forget Mamie. she was the BEST babysitter a gal could have. Always told her I wanted her to babysit with my children but that never happened. She would make up GOOD kids stories & tell me. Then I’d say to her “tell me about the . . .” One day when I was older she said “Elaine I always made those stories up & when you’d ask me to tell them again I didn’t always get them right!!!” We laughed. Because I remember when she’d change it a little bit I’d say “no it went this way . . .” Those were the days. But one thing I do know – I will see her again someday when I reach heaven. What a reunion that will be!!ReplyCancel

Good morning – have a wonderful, blessed day!ReplyCancel

I never want to forget, especially when the night is so black that I can’t see and God seems so far away, that he is right there with me and His Praise is my source of strength and light! He never fails! He is always faithful.
