Happy Birthday, Momma

Happy Birthday, Momma
April 1, 2014

Happy Birthday, Momma!
I am sending you a Spiritual Bouquet
to celebrate your everlasting love that 
you showed Charlie and me
throughout our childhood years 
and into our adulthood.
You were always there 
for whatever tribulations 
we encountered, 
and you were certainly there 
for all our milestones.
No matter how many years have passed, 
there are times I wish that 
just one more time I could hear your laughter,
like when you blitzed Charles playing gin!
Are the two of you now playing cards?
I hope so.
Momma,
here are your birthday cards:
Our Blessed Mother is
holding the rosary made with the roses
from Father Keane's funeral.





Happy birthday from all of us!
I love you,
Norma Ruth

The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
