@xango,

Thank you so much for your response and I know everyone who have lost a parent feels
this way when certain holidays and especially birthdays come around. ✨✨

I like your mother in the Ocean in the Bahamas. My father favorite Caribbean Island was
Aruba. I think that is the way I will remember him.

Hey great catch on the sheets. ✨ Love you.

Peace Out Peeps! Have a safe and nice evening. ✨✨

Papa, Can You Hear Me?
Song by Barbra Streisand

God – our heavenly Father
Oh God – and my father
Who is also in heaven
May the light
Of this flickering candle
Illuminates the night the way
Your spirit illuminates my soul
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you see me?
Papa, can you find me in the night?
Papa, are you near me?
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you help me not be
Frightened?
Looking at the skies
I seem to see a million eyes
Which ones are yours?
Where are you now that yersterday
Has waved goodbye
And closed its doors?
The night is so much darker.
The wind is so much colder
The world I see is so much bigger
Now that I’m alone
Papa, please forgive me
Try to understand me
Papa, don’t you know I had no choice?
Can you hear me praying
Anything I’m saying
Even though the night is filled
With voices?
I remember ev’rything you thaught me
Every book I’ve ever read
Can all the words in all the books
Help me to face what lies ahead?
The trees are so much taller
And I feel so much smaller
The moon is twice as lonely
And the stars are half as bright
Papa, how I love you.
Papa, how I need you.
Papa, how I miss you
Kissing me goodnight

Hi. Labs went OK and doctor appointment is the week of the 9th. I had the phone call last Friday on my hubby’s test results. I hope to hear from the orthopedist sometime this week. If not, I will call on Monday and leave a message. I have a feeling that they will want to see him first and then the surgery appointment will follow.

We did go out for lunch. It was a seafood place and we were not impressed with the loud music in the background. I do not mind this in a hall or on stage somewhere, but in a small environment it just did not seem right. Could not hear hubby and he could not hear me above the noise. Call me old fashioned if you like, but in a restaurant I would love to hear some soft music or someone at the piano. Just my thought. I kind of miss my favorite place here where you sit outside and watch some of the boaters come in. The food is pretty good at this place. It’s mainly fish but for the landlovers, they do make a good hamburger and steak on the grill. The people who cook are fishermen so you never know what they will bring in for the daily catch. Guess that’s why I like this place. Both of us were just too tired to drive there. Guess you need an explanation. I was up at 5 am going to the “library” and decided to get the paperwork and put it with my purse. Only thing was, it wasn’t where it was supposed to be. I guess the lights awaken hubby and thus we both looked for the one sheet of paper. After looking through the many boxes of papers I finally decided to leave a little early with the stop at the doctor’s office. Finally, as a last resort decided to look under some stuff on our desk and that’s where I found it. Breathing a sigh of relief went back to bed around 6 am and was up at 9:30 am for a leisurely shower. I fasted for 14 hours.

I can sympathize knowing what you are experiencing. Taci also. My dad was like my right hand. Always there for me especially when mom and I would fight like cats and dogs. I sometimes thought that he stayed longer at the store just to have some peace and quiet. However, when he did arrive home there was ice cream sodas or milkshakes or a hot fudge sundae. The hot fudge was what I liked the most. So creamy and warm. And the taste even better. Enjoyed it until college beckoned and I fell in love with Brighams. Nothing stays the same forever. Brighams is no more and now Hoods carries their line. I so remember the good times and yes, it still brings a tear or two because we all wish that things could stay the same. No matter what, one thing will never change. You will always be Daddy’s Little Girl. And how nice it is that he drops in from time to time letting you know that the feelings are mutual. I know time heals all wounds. IN our case it seems it will. But, it doesn’t. It’s just that as the years go by we learn to handle it better. Maybe singing something tomorrow will help you get through the day. Bet your dad would love nothing better for his birthday.

Good Afternoon Sheba, you are having a warm day in Oz today. That’s a good thing for your garden and so is the expected rain tomorrow.
My birthday wish for your dad in heaven is, may his soul-spirit have Light, Love and Truth.
Yesterday I became very emotional looking at a photo of my mother. It was taken in the Bahamas. I took her on a cruise just me and her. She is in the ocean enjoying herself with the biggest smile, and that’s when the picture was taken. I started missing her a bunch lately. We all understand it is part of life, but it doesn’t make it easier. 😥
I decided I needed more bed sheets, I ordered some from HSN . Now that Summer is coming we need to change our bed here, more often. And we like a lighter sheets in the summer rather than a thick heavy sheets in the Winter. At least that’s the excuse I gave my husband. Reality is, I just liked the sheets. 😂
Take Care Sheba 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

Family Planning

Take time to plan, as a family unit, the qualities you want to embody and put out into the world.

Family planning generally encompasses questions about when to have our children and how to be financially prepared for the future, but it can also include questions that are more creative and visionary for your family. For example, you might consider and plan on what qualities you would most like to emphasize and develop, and which experiences you would like to place the most value on, within your family unit. One of evolution’s greatest gifts is the gift of experience, which teaches us what worked in our own families of origin and what did not. This information will be exceedingly valuable in envisioning our own family’s ethos.

Perhaps you feel that the world needs more people who are practiced and capable in the art of generosity. With this in mind, you might develop a family tradition of setting one day aside each month to give to the people around you. This could be as simple as making extra portions of a delicious soup, or many loaves of bread, and bringing them to friends and neighbors. Most children love the act of giving, and allowing them to be the ones to present the food will make them very happy. It will also give them positive memories and set a lifelong pattern of generosity. On a larger scale, you may decide that travel and education are your family priorities, and design your lifestyle to suit that philosophy by traveling extensively or living abroad. On the other hand, you may decide that putting down solid roots and building community means the most to you and your children, choosing to spend most of your energy and resources in one chosen spot.

The act of determining what you value most and how you will pass that on to your children is both empowering and creative. As your family grows and your children have ideas of their own, you can incorporate them into the process. In this way, you fulfill the additional purpose of teaching your children how to envision and create their own reality. Most of all, they will learn that life is rich with potential and that expressing their deepest values empowers them to create a life that will be of benefit to the whole world. ✨✨ AMEN!
