I'm sorry that I never went back to see you again. To tell you that I really missed you. I'm sorry that I let you down. I'm sorry I was unkind. I'm sorry that It seemed like I forgot you. You … [Read more...]

Happy 4th to you!
What is-- love. ? Seriously. Everyone, everybody, has their idea of it-- throwing in different facets of the very word. Maybe, just maybe, it's not one description. Perhaps, perhaps, it's what one can accept, tolerate, not be so much a perfectionist about. And, maybe, it's what you know you want or not at all.

I lived far away from him. The joy and love between a grandchild and a grandparent--indescribable really. Just as much a pleasure to see and listen to their … [Read more...]
