Three days before the day of my birth and it is time to reflect:
I am grateful:
For family and friends
who take the edge off
my aloneness
For my parents who were
my guiding lights
For my grandchildren
who make me smile and laugh
For my children
(even though they hover – too much)
For my bonus Jen,
whose sense of humor
reminds me so much of her Dad’s
that my raucous laughter is
followed by cleansing tears.
For my neighbors
who spoil my dog … and me
All of the above are blessings
but I am immeasurably
blessed because I had a
great love with Lawrence –
so many don’t have that privilege…
I will miss my mom waking me up with my birth story, but I’ve heard it so many times that it’s burned in my memory. I will miss my grandfather’s homemade and decorated birthday cakes.
I will miss my Love’s happy birthday hug and kiss. But I will cherish the memories
Forever…
171 and nearly 59 years old… XO Lisa

When I originally commented I seem to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Perhaps there is a way you are able to remove me from that service? Many thanks!

I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both equally educative and amusing, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that too few people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I came across this during my hunt for something concerning this.
