for the loss of Seth Cook

Darrington teen with rare aging disorder dies of heart attack
By CAROL SMITHP-I REPORTER
Seth Cook, who lived in Darrington but captured hearts all over the world, died at 2:10 p.m. Monday at his home with his family. He was 13 years old and had recently suffered a heart attack as a consequence of progeria, a disorder that causes accelerated aging.
"He will be missed by so many as there were so many lives he touched," said his mom, Patti Cook.
Seth had friends all over the world. Many were charmed by his practical jokes and quick wit. But his courage, kindness and sense of humor also moved many who knew him only through stories and network broadcasts about him.

just...the...missed...

I blog on myspace more often than this one...but yesterday I made my niece mad, for what I wrote...Sometimes I think that having family on your space is a recipe for war! Which my niece and I started one...but I think were deadlocked...a stalemate...whatever...I know, wer're not the best "fighters" for I think it was a stalemate after a day. LoL But, I think that I've learned a few things from the altercation.....she's missed.....

for the joy of orphanages...

I have been volunteering at a orphanage here, in Bangkok. I truly enjoy these kids...they're just looking to have one-on-one attention...cuddling...and just adult love...They're really a joy to be around and they're just beautiful kids...

I have grown attached to one little 6month old boy---I call him "juan" because that's what his name sounds like, when the Thai women say it:D I truly enjoy cuddling with him and he's such a joy...He perks up when he see's me...I like to think he searches for me in the mist of the volunteers...because he's constantly looking around until he finds me:D I am thinking that I am just making myself "feel good..." but damn, that boy has grabbed my heart...

At first a lot of the children ignored me for I was new...now after three-four months of solid volunteering, I believe we are meeting on a neutral ground now...The twins now will allow to me at least, pick them up or cuddle them...a few will allow me to feed them, when before they would run away from me...there's progress and I am happy with it!

for the love of beginnings

A few people I know blog on blogger...and I thought maybe I would try...to give it a try...A lot of times, I'll start something like this, and never make it to the end of the month before it's just forotten about or I found something new or better...but we'll see how this works out...

Usually I blog on Myspace but honestly, that's sort of getting old...At times, Myspace is slow and irritable, which leads me wanting to throw the computer across the room when there's a communication breakdown or something...so maybe this will work out better here...one can hope...

Wish me luck...
