Tyler, I hope you didn't mind me writing on this board ,I enjoy the poem and read it first each time I come here,

A beautiful Day here, but WOW!! did we have some storms last night..
Memorial Day
Yesterday was a very sad and happy memory day all rolled together,

I lost my mom last July a lot of wonderful memories there.

memories of my children , I lost so many years ago, they are still vivid in my mind.
just a moment of sharing helps.
Thanks for letting me bring them here,Tyler.
and for putting up with my different beliefs, and opinion's of all here

I enjoy this forum and most of the debates when they stay civil ,and the opponent doesn't try to degrade one personally, or to suggest that one is smarter than the other..Iknow many are smarter than me, but I keep plugging along~~ LOL

anyway, it is good to vent, I seldom lose my temper. so this is an outlet for me,the others are prayer, meditation ,painting and writing. and many hobbies.

Thanks Gypsy, and no I don't mind one bit you posting after my post with the poem. I'm glad you like it here, and you know you are always welcome to express your opinions.

I'm sure you have many wondeful memories of your Mom and children, I think thats wonderful, hold onto them they are great to have.

yes, we all lose loved ones.
when we outlive our children that is something we are not ready for
Monica- in 1986 a house fire with her 1 year old son(my grandson)
Jeff _truck driver, was killed in 1993 icy roads

tragedy strikes us all in one form or another~
it either makes us stronger, or bitter..
I feel I am much stronger..
