For Bella.......

A basket of flowers for my Bella girl. Sweet kitty, best friend of many, many, years.

accompanied by a beautiful poem that my brother sent to me via e-mail. Bella loved 

when he would stop in for a visit and enjoyed his company very much.

 

 

SHADOW'S SONG

I'm not gone...not really.

I haven't gone away...I've only gotten bigger.

My eyes, so bright, now shine among the stars.

 

My voice sings with the wind in winter, as I leap

And dance among the tree tops.

I stalk the blown leaves in autumn, and brush the

flowers gently in the spring.

I come to you in dreaming, on feet grown dreamtime soft,

And lay my cheek against yours, and whisper:

"Peace be with you."

Someday we will play again together, you and I, among the stars.

'Til then, fear not to love, for your love gave my life meaning.

And I return that love to you...a hundredfold...a thousandfold...

Forever.

Snuggly Memories.............

Last night I decided to put and extra "blanket" on my bed because it seemed a little chilly.......I reached up in the closet and pulled down a quilt that was given to me from my grandmother's estate. I hadn't really used it because, 1.) it doesn't really "go" with anything in my room, and 2.) I am only one person and can only use so many blankets at one time. When I got into bed, I was a child of 5 or 6 at my grandparent's farm. I have had the quilt for a little over three years, and it still smelled of my grandmother's home. I was a little child sharing a bed with my brother and it was pitch black outside. Their farm was near the interstate, and the only thing you could hear at night, was country silence and the distant sound of Semi Trucks going by. We always woke to the sound of the rooster crowing.............

Keeping in touch..............

This is what I did most of my weekend....making call's. Mostly to family, one after the other. At least there has been no phone-tag
lately.......

To: My Brother.............

Yes, soon it will be here, Christmas day. My fondest memories of Christmas, are that of Christmas Eve. My brother and I would get so excited..... just knowing we were allowed to open two gifts that night. Usually, something fun to play with, and then without a doubt, Christmas Pyjama's.

Happy Holiday's to my brother.............
