All televisions come with buttons for control: power on or off and volume up and down.
My beloved television, you hold all of my favorite shows. You hang out with me for many hours on end sometimes without frown.
This may be starting to sound like an ode to my wonderful tv, but let assure you dear reader, it is not! This is a love letter to the remote. The control center of it all.
The remote allows me to be sitting comfortable, snacking even and I can change the channel, adjust the volume and not have to move an inch! The groove in the couch is very defined. Don't worry, I do exercise...sometimes.
When my treasured remote has been misplaced, this is absolutely the worst. I must leave my spot, trust me, I do not feel happy about this.
"I found it!" Pure bliss. "Don't ever leave me again." I beg. I need you. We settle back on the couch to do what we always do...*WHISPERS* "I love you"...

Here to There
Here and there and everywhere. Point A to point b. Sometimes I get a little fancy and add in a point C. To have one is OH SO convenient, but not always cheap. Money to keep you going, keep you clean and keep you well. I have one. Mine is my favorite color...baby blue. Mine is also a girl and she has a sunroof to boot!

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
