December 26 Comments - re: squeaky toy


Yesterday was a family day. As a single parent , I started my day early ...smiles...when I over slept. Then spent quite a time juggling as we all do, to go pick up my daughter's father and go visit his dad who is in an old peoples' home. 50s Christmas music was on and after greeting and kissing all the residents ,( some didn't even have visitors) I sat down on the floor with Cailtin to talk to Grandpa. It started to seem rather sad, like a lot of the people there were not only remembering other more happier yules but really waiting to go. Then the music turned to carols and Bing Crosby started singing "Silent Night"...timorously a few of us started singing and then over all our voices rose a really confident soprano and the mood changed and we smiled. A gift to give that we went to visit for a couple of hours? No what the peole there gave us! Our christmas gift, just being there in their company. The great thing about a kiss and a hug is that it is two-way...give /have And not just at Christmas, MM, ?

You're right, time together is what everyone will remember down the road...do you remember what you got say two years ago?..I don't...And it doesn't matter, the spirit is what counts, EG, Calgary
