Well sweet girl feels like for forever & yet just yesterday... I try to keep the kids together...mama Patti is a bit laughable of late however... As I am sure you know. we have added a couple of new hearts to the tea ladies and they are awesome you would have loved them. I added songs to our spotify share and half expect a comment because I know you would love them, really varied genres... lol I'm so broken... I try to pray for Megan, Jarrod, your Daddio, your girls and especially Faith & Chris but find I am still so angry - I know that would disappoint you, and I am disappointed in myself for falling sort of what you would expect of me. I thank you so much for all the little signs but what would I give to hear you say "What have you done now...." or to get a "hey chicka chicka" text.... I think of you every time I refuse to watch Dancing with the Stars & when I do watch Game of Thrones (not the same without catching up the next day - our girl Danyerus has troubles) I planted golden Aster, swamp Sunflowers, yellow daisies & regular sunflowers to make sure I would have a yellow corner to remind me of you...There is a cardinal that hangs out there every morning & I like to imagine that it is you stopping by wearing red for contrast - so I talk to it a little bit. I know these things don't matter to you anymore and while I am so grateful that you are not in pain, it is still a shock to the senses that you are really gone. I wish a do over for the time we shared, I want to tell to how very much it meant to me that you were so present adn genuine during such a tumultuous & painful time. More than that, I wish if just for a day (preferably one of those days when mean girls made you feel bad) that you could feel how many peoples lives you touched, how many people you inspired, you gave them the strength to fight when they felt that they didn't have any more fight left in them, how many people you gave a giggle when they felt at their lowest (me included) because you did and I know there days you felt you should have done more...you did so much more than you realized. I also wish that I spent more of our silly time, telling you how special you were - no make that are because you will always be a light in a too dark world. I'm getting better but I fear I will always miss you D xoxoxo
So glad you shared semisweet. It doesn't seem like it's been six months, still feels so fresh. You put your feelings into words so beautifully. When it comes to Diem, I sometimes feel like I still have so much to say and other times I don't have anymore words. I know I've said this before, but I wish heaven had visiting hours or I wish those in heaven could come back down to earth for even just one day a year to visit, to say hey, just wanted to let you know how happy I am, just wanted to reassure you all that it's okay. I know that is selfish though. God would say, why do you need that reassurance, just have faith. I miss her but I was thinking today about what she left behind, the legacy of love that she left and how she made such a difference.

SO Nice to hear from you Semisweet!!! I have sent you e mail and private messages and no response. I figured you were just busy but if you ever get a chane, please send me a little something. I miss talking to you and I really do need to talk...
@semisweet that is one of the most beautiful things I've ever read. Thank you for sharing your words and your heart. Thank you for taking care of all of us and for caring. Don't be so hard on yourself because you are doing your best which is all anyone can ask of you. Love ya sweet lady.
And to Angel Diem. It's been a long 6 months without your sun and beauty. You're missed down here every single day but you live on always and continue to inspire others always.

Cara Maria is participaing in the Hearts of Reality event in Diem's name this year. Ya'll please go to her Twitter page, click on the link and donate. Thanks.
This is silly, but Yahoo is running a vote on reality TV heroes and Diem is nominated. In case anyone wants to vote, I think our girl deserves the win.
We are not silly at all - since we starting posting and sharing the link around it went from 12 % to 39% !! i was tweeting like it was my job (while on the job - shhhh)
Shoot I had people over for dinner and then feel a sleep for a bit and we are way DOWN 28% ACK!! Let's go people show our girl some love - get the info out we need votes
I didn't even know who the guy was that it's in the running against Diem. No clue.
Captain Phil Harris of the Cornelia Marie crab fishing boat on Deadliest Catch. Good guy but IMO, not a hero. Diem should be getting this hands down. People are just voting for who they like instead of sticking with the category of "hero".

It certainly doesn't help any that Diems video doesn't work - so anyone who isn't aleady familiar and happens across this poll on yahoo gets zero insight. And I have left comment twice once I understand them removing because I think I broke the rules by leaving a working link about her but **** I wish I had copied what I wrote! It was good and now it is GONE... but then I wrote another one lesser but not **** and that isn't there either
xo that is awesome! Had a friend remind me of something...she knows I get a tad worked up when it comes to D and she sent me the following in a message in response how do people not see that Diem is the obvious only choice here... That's because Diem is a legend. To quote the Sandlot, "Heroes get remembered, but legends never die" <-- and there it is, calmed me right down. It's a flippin yahoo poll I know Diem is magic no matter what and if there are people too foolish to realize that well...how sad for them! Also, Diem lives on in her siblings, friends, fans, and all those she helped. No poll could ever measure or diminish that.

Thanks for answering. I've heard of Deadliest Catch but never have watched an episode. Diem definitely deserves the win on that poll.
I like this post.
Can't believe it's 6 months today that Beautiful Diem was given her wings in heaven. Wishing peace to her family & friends.
I thought that too when I woke up. Crazy.

Thanks. I was having trouble posting it.

https://www.yahoo.com/tv/greatest-reality-tv-personalities-of-all-time-1...
I don't think it is silly at all I was sad that her percentage was so low and was logging on specifically to let everyone know to go and vote - https://www.yahoo.com/tv/greatest-reality-tv-personalities-of-all-time-120521490285.html she deserves a win and God knows she is a tried and true HERO
We are not silly at all - since we starting posting and sharing the link around it went from 12 % to 39% !! i was tweeting like it was my job (while on the job - shhhh)
Now up to 52%. Keep it going!!!
58 %
Shoot I had people over for dinner and then feel a sleep for a bit and we are way DOWN 28% ACK!! Let's go people show our girl some love - get the info out we need votes

How can we get more people voting?
I voted from home and I will vote from my work computer tomorrow. It is on the Challenge Facebook page now so that should help....
