Birthdays

                 Hello Nice People,

                           Today is a milestone in my life.  Today is my daughters 40th birthday.   Forty years.......40 years......the big 4-0.   I have to see it to actually believe it.  Melody was born on the day that Bobby Kennedy was assassinated.  So you will never hear ME say, "How long has RFK been gone?" ---40 YEARS!!  In those forty years, Melody has become a daughter to be proud of.  She is a married lady with 2 boys, one handicapped.

And never has anyone ever heard her complain or ask "Why me?"  She is absolutely the best that I could have hoped that she would become.  So Happy birthday Melody, we love you.

                   Yesterday was my mothers birthday.  She would be 102 years old, if she was still here.  She died on October 29, 1982 at 76 years old.  But now she would be celebrating 102 years.  When my mother died, she was not speaking to me.  There were lots of  family members that she cherished, but I was not one of them.   She has  been gone 26 years and I still think of her every day.  I thought of her a lot yesterday.  I wonder how many of her cherished ones had her in THEIR  thoughts yesterday. 

              Tonight we will just have some cake and tea to celebrate the big 4-0.  Just something  so the 2 boys can light the candles and  help Mommy blow them out.
