  looking people in the eye.

  meaning what you say.

  working hard for what you have and not depending on "contacts".

  hey teej. I can't read that you're feeling down and not reply. I'm sorry you're down. I'm always around if you need someone to talk to. (((((((((teejay)))))))

  i don't think she has posted this yet.

  mulan called me yesterday afternoon to tell me her dad had suffered a stroke.

  i did talk to my dad last night and he seemed to think that grandpa was going to be ok. i had a birthday party with nine little girls all afternoon and was completely out of touch as a result.. i think she could use a hug, don't you?.

  my uncle oliver passed this past weekend.

  he was my step-dad's grandfather's brother.

  I'm very sorry about your uncle. I'm sorry- I never know what to say in these situations. You never can prepare for the loss of someone you love.

  Happy Father's Day

  by teejay in

  2. friends

  my parents were divorced before i started school.

  although my father still lived in the same town, between the ages of 5 and 20 i saw him maybe 10 times.

  so, i was raised without a father or any other male role model, for that matter.

  teej, you have a real knack for writing. I envy that. I always feel like my posts never quite convey what I'm trying to say so lately I've been sticking to short posts. anywho...

  Father's Day is very depressing for me. I would literally give anything to have just one more day with my dad. I miss him like crazy. If you ask me, I had the best dad who ever walked the face of the earth. I was lucky.

  The bond between dad and daughter is very special. He was my protector and when dad was around, I was safe from harm. He was my idol. It seems that you and your baby girl have a similar relationship. She is very lucky, too!!

  I gotta go now- getting teary.

  Happy Father's Day teejay.

  Assure: 1 : to make safe (as from risks or against overthrow) : INSURE
  2 : to give confidence to <and hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts -- 1 John 3:19 (Authorized Version)>
  3 : to make sure or certain : CONVINCE <glancing back to assure himself no one was following>
  4 : to inform positively <I assure you that we will do better next time>
  5 : to make certain the coming or attainment of : GUARANTEE <worked hard to assure accuracy>

  Insure: 1 : to provide or obtain insurance on or for
  2 : to make certain especially by taking necessary measures and precautions
  intransitive senses : to contract to give or take insurance
  synonym see ENSURE

  Ensure: : to make sure, certain, or safe : GUARANTEE
  synonyms ENSURE, INSURE, ASSURE, SECURE mean to make a thing or person sure. ENSURE, INSURE, and ASSURE are interchangeable in many contexts where they indicate the making certain or inevitable of an outcome, but INSURE sometimes stresses the taking of necessary measures beforehand, and ASSURE distinctively implies the removal of doubt and suspense from a person's mind. SECURE implies action taken to guard against attack or loss.

  Hope that helps, beryl
