 I am VERY proud to announce that my Suzy's writing was selected as the winning essay for Our Big Gayborhood's  "5th Annual Blogging for LGBT Families".  

 I am sure that my Suzy would have considered this the absolute best birthday present “EV-AR!”  (today is also her birthday, so it makes it extra special bittersweet for us)

Even though she passed on this January, I believe that she still watches over us.    I also believe that she is right now squealing, jumping up & down and “high five’ing” the rest of the angels over having her words selected.

So thank you Our Big Gayborhood (links are on the left side... hint... hint)

and, as my Suzy would undoubtedly have said, “Big ass uber hugs” to you all.

(and I’m not using Kleenex, I’m wiping my eyes with a paper towel ;-) )

 

P.S.  Lori and Margo you two chicks are fantastic.  Thank you so much from both of our daughters and myself.

P. P.S.  Please stop by Our Big Gayborhood and leave a comment.  I am sure that Suzy is reading them all (while trying to figure out how to write a snarky reply from heaven)

I have been waiting for this all day long.
Let me just hug you and congratulate you over and over.
Amazing...
Rated with hugs and waves up high for Suze.
Awesome . . . just awesome.
Congratulations to you, and to Suzy. She was lucky to have you too.
This is great! Sending virtual hugs your way. I'll hop over and check it out.
What a great honor for both of you!!! They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Bug hugs and orchids all around. Enjoy the glow.
OOPS...typo..obviously it's BIG hugs (not bug hugs..although we're all so thrilled we might hug a few bugs in celebration as well!)

Another reason for you and the kiddos to be uber proud of Mommi. Hot damn!

Wonderful, Amy for all of you, some good news and a smile for a bit today...
Congratulations to you Both. I know you're right, she's hollering with joy!
If you could make one slight correction. Blogging for LGBT Families Day is an event sponsored by Mombian.com, a very fine lesbian parenting blog.

Our Big Gayborhood ran the contest for our readers in order the winning entry could our representative entry for Mombian.com's list of participating entries. We really appreciate your support of Amy and Safe Bet's piece.
Wow! What a tribute to Suzy and to your love! Congratulations! Rated
Thank you everyone!
