one by the faces from long ago popped up onto my screen, at exactly noon eastern standard time. Some of the faces I haven’t seen since I was 19 years old and too young and dumb to know how important those relationships would be in my life. Austria, Norway, Lithuania, Poland, US, Canada, the UKContinue reading “The perfect plan”

A love letter
45 years ago something really special happened that would change my life, and the life of many other people. 45 years ago, in a small town in England a little boy was born, a boy who would grow into a man who shake my world with the love he offered me. He has stood besideContinue reading “A love letter”

Feeling hurts
They say that as a blogger you need to write consistently… they (whoever they are) are the same people that say that new mother’s should nap when the baby is napping… like the laundry and dishes will do themselves while you nap with your baby… My intentions are good but my main job is toContinue reading “Feeling hurts”
