Knowing them, they would probably read and discuss, learning from each other in the process. He was a brilliant man and very worldly.
I always thought how much I would love to do the same with my husband but I don't know if I could get him to sit that long without him falling asleep.  Seems like NOTHING but an intimate and even romantic way to share some time together.......a true expression of love and enjoyment of one another's company. Maybe I see it that way because I don't think I ever knew a couple more in love and devoted to one another than my aunt and uncle.
Thank you so much for the Mother's Day wishes and the great memories that you just gave me. I wish NOTHING but the same to your mother today. |
She has Alzheimer's so does not really understand a whole lot of what she reads and not for NOTHING. But she is doing OK and we have a wonderful group of neighbors who have known each other for 14 years or so. At least, most of us. Some left but come back often and/or are connected by Facebook. We did have to deal with loss of a neighbors' granddaughter at Parkland HS on Valentine's Day but that made us stronger but they moved to be closer to their surviving grandkids. I do not know why but God has put me into a lot of groups that get hit with tragedies of some kind which also get a lot of press. Or people who have to deal with these tragedies and their aftermath.
