Even the spaghetti part. :-) Yesterday was mother's day, and for reasons too complicated to go into here, I had a difficult time getting through the church service - words and music were hitting home and I had trouble maintaining my composure. As I was leaving, I heard the beginning of the postlude - a hymn I didn't really know until we sang it at my maternal grandma's funeral, 22 years ago, but I remember it, and I remember her almost daily to this day. It was as if the deities had conspired to knock me between the eyes and say, LISTEN UP AND PAY ATTENTION, Meg. And I did.Meg McCormickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01226110990838922422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-27061448398217686782014-05-12T10:00:29.668-04:002014-05-12T10:00:29.668-04:00such a wonderful post .. and there is no such thin...such a wonderful post .. and there is no such thing as coincidence … she was connecting with you for sureDarylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241795455748298624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-85347094592033903452014-05-10T21:01:38.613-04:002014-05-10T21:01:38.613-04:00I don't believe in random even though am that...I don't believe in random even though am that way.

For instance, I have been thinking a lot of my late husband recently, that our 25th anniversary would be coming up here shortly, and that I lost all my wedding pictures when the house burned. Well, in the mail the other day, was an envelope full of pictures from my wedding reception from a very dear friend who ran across them while "organizing" her closet and thought I would like to have them. My husband is watching over me and your Grandmother is watching over you and she is letting you know all will be well. <br /><br />Or we all have just entered the twilight zone.

Wishing you and your mother a Happy Mother's Day!<br />Very poignant story - be sure to write to your son when he is away at school, he will cherish them one day too. I wish I had kept the letters my grandmother and mother wrote me through my teen years. My memories of them mean so much to me. x0x0deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01135184573801009208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-183581099797423472014-05-09T08:26:47.425-04:002014-05-09T08:26:47.425-04:00Makes complete sense to me.

I believe wholeheartedly that our loved ones who have passed send messages to us to let us know they're still part of our lives. The question is more do we notice than are they sending them. Wrote about it on my ghost blog a while back http://gburgghosts.blogspot.com/2013/01/pennies-from-heaven.html love the photos! And I'd have to argue that there are also wild gator rides that might be one of the wildest things you get into these days.

I miss my father too. There were four brief years when we all lived together in harmony. They were the best of my life.growing wild on waverly lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222930522676348641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-26599610689574127142014-05-09T02:21:51.418-04:002014-05-09T02:21:51.418-04:00I totally get it..I was very close to my grandmoth...I totally get it..I was very close to my grandmother--and grandfather, as well.( My mom was divorced soon after I was born, so I stayed at my grandparents' home while she worked, for the first seven yrs. of my life. I saved letters both of them had written, and reading them affects me the same way.)<br />All the eras collide, as you are brought back to your youth, while you travel the memory trail with old photos and realize your son is graduating soon. The poignant situation of the daffodil legacy is no doubt a painful change, too. When my older son got married, I got caught in such a vortex of era collisions and barely survived, lol.<br />I hope CBMom Waverly has a great day Sunday, she has raised some rare and special daughters. You yourself deserve the best Mother's Day ever !<br />LLCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-46144650398675325032014-05-09T01:12:10.571-04:002014-05-09T01:12:10.571-04:00Wonderful story, especially for Mother's Day. ...Wonderful story, especially for Mother's Day. You have inspired me to try to post something of a similar vein on my blog, which has been sadly neglected of late.<br /><br />You also inspire me to go through piles of things, treasures, papers, letters and sort and store them and preserve or throw them for the benefit of future generations.<br /><br />Have a great weekend. And keep on cheering for those special kids..and family!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10698343129217681652noreply@blogger.com
