Congratulations Kathy Cupo I have many Angels in my life, but the one's that I am writing about is my first Angel, my Son Nicholas.  Nicholas was born on 1/22/1989, he came into the world in the normal way and from there, my life changed.  He was my firstborn, and with him all my hopes and dreams came true.  As I waited for his first cry, his first breath, I knew something was wrong.  They whisked him to the special nursery without me getting to see or hold him.  He was diagnosed with a chromosome disorder called Trisomy 13.  Most babies diagnosed with this disorder, only live a few minutes when born.  We were fortunate to have him for 13 days.  I lived years in those 13 days.  I held him, talked to him,  sang to him and took him through an entire lifetime in those 13 days.  I will never forget the joy that he brought into my life, nor the pain and sorrow I felt when he died.  He would have been 21 this past January and the...

Congratulations Anne Carlucci! Hi!  The Angel in my life is my eighty one year old mother. She has weather quite a emotional storm in her life. My mother lost her husband of thirty five years at the age of sixty three. Just one year after retiring and moving to their dream life of a large condo overlooking the North Carolina coast. My mother stayed on alone and made the best of her situation with none of her kids living nearby. She always tried to comfort us after we lost our loving Father,with little thought to herself. She was the special needs brownie leader in our town. She always emphasized to us to help others for the good of bettering your self by just being a good person. She eventually moved back for financial and health reasons,to be near her children.Now back in Jersey she still felt the need to have her independence and lived a a senior single family home. My brother Kevin her second son was nearby to help with various projects and chores around the house.The ...

Congratulations  Kurt E. Reinheimer The angel in my life is my wife of 13 years.  After our first born child was diagnosed with autism she never complained or whined about the misfortune.  She simply has done everything in her powers over the past 11 years to help our little girl become the best and brightest she could ever hope to be.  When the house of our dreams suddenly burned down on 6/22/10 and she lost all of her possessions (except myself and the 2 children) due to my act of neglect, she never complained or whined about the misfortune.  She simply has done everything in her powers to get our life and family back on its feet.  When my wife's family disowned her due to her marriage to me 13 years ago, she never whined or complained.  She simply has made my life the best any man could ever hope for.  She is an angel, a saint and my best friend.  She tirelessly works for others with no care of her own desires.  It would mean the w...

Congratulations Lorraine Russo  ! It is not hard to describe my angel because of who she was.  Caring, helpful, selfless and loving. Alice Helble cared more about others then she did herself.  Many times in my life I witnessed her kindness to others.  At Thanksgiving she had an ecumenical table.  People of any race, creed or color were welcomed at her table and she never had a bad word to say about anyone.  More then anything else Alice taught me how to live my life as a true caring person through her kindness and love.  As she lay dying she still had her list out for Starfish to see if she could help others who needed a ride to a doctor or any appointment. I know now that Alice is still with me because of the example of her life.  It left an indelible mark on my life that will never be forgotten.  Her recent loss has left a physical void in my life and the life of all who knew her.  But her spirit, the true sign of an angel lives on ...

Congratulations  Sheila Grifo Fredericks!

Our final Angel Wing Winner.  Congratulations Barbara Vosbrink! ******************************************** I am lucky to have three angels in my life. I have my girls Jessica(18), Brittney(11) and Kimberly(5). They are the reason why I smile!!  Sometimes they test me to see how far they can go. But in the end we always talk and laugh.  I have a very good relationship with all of them. A different relationship for each of them cause of such an age difference.  I like to think that they can come to me with anything. I know they have already and I am grateful for that. But most of all they make me feel special when all they have to do is give a hug and a kiss and they say they love me and I know I'm doing something right. I am so blessed to have all three of them.   Barbara Vosbrink **************************************************** Thank you for all of your entries! Never stop celebrating the Angels in your lives! Stay tuned for more contests and giveawa...

This is the first Christmas without both of my grandmother's who I know are in heaven looking down on all of us and smiling as we all share in this wonderful Holiday. My Grandmother's Elsa & Anita where two of the most amazing, wondeful people you could have ever met. Always looking thier best, always with a smile on thier face.

Here is the week 5 Angel Wing contest winner! Congratulations Maggie Mignone! ************************************************************** My mother is my best friend and will always be my beautiful angel. She has always carried me through the toughest times in my life. She supported me through each & every difficult decision I have ever had to make. She has shared my tears of joy and sadness. Her tender voice and warm embrace have kept me grounded & focused on the mother that I want to be.   A few years ago I had the biggest scare of my life. My mother was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. At that moment our lives began to change. Our roles of mother & daughter were reversed. I began carrying her through the toughest time in her life. I supported her through each difficult decision regarding medical treatment. I wiped her tears and kept mine hidden. My voice became the sound of hope. My warm embraces kept her focused on a brighte...
