Decade

PROVE IT, HERMY……

Today is Aunt Glenda’s 62nd birthday.  It also marks exactly one decade ago that we bought the house in Corsicana.  We sold that house on October 12, I believe, of 1999.  The purchase was a happy event.  The following was not.

Ten years have flown by and yet crept by.  My, how paradoxical it seems that that can be the case!

Life is so much better, in many ways, than it was then.  For instance, now we are married.  Now, we are a "father", though I myself do not feel much like a father, more like a great-great-great-great grandmother, thank you!  lol

J Henry wrote that he feels disconnected from his life.  I never feel that way, but some within here do, so I understand.  I feel sometimes PAINFULLY connected, if anything.

Through pain, we learn.  IF we stop learning, no matter what the lessons, we wither and die.  I cannot and will not accept that.  If pain is sometimes the only thing that teaches, then bring on the pain, I suppose.  It is always there, where life is concerned.  I know this, for I have lost much in life.  For what I take in, however, I can be doubly (if not more) grateful BECAUSE of the loss, the pain, knowing what it is like NOT to have what I just gained.

Does that make sense?

Micheal darling, I love you and all the others,

Momma
