We've always decorated the walls this way. We are all we've got. The thought flew through my mind as I looked at the walls that anyone else might find this overwhelming--and then I replied, "Screw them." This is our history. Parents who are no longer with us, Cousins I spent many summers with, Children from birth to now, and new arrivals like my great-grandaughter, Lillie. Every morning I enjoy a memory of people and events.

We're literally living in an age of miracles--and our kids, who have had these capabilities all their lives, think they're no big deal. Aging has many drawbacks, but still being able to feel wonder at these truly wonderful things provides some compensation.Richnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774592798837481659.post-87272028353872075252012-09-11T20:49:47.434-05:002012-09-11T20:49:47.434-05:00I just spent the last 12 hours sitting with mom in...I just spent the last 12 hours sitting with mom in the ER, some of those hours were very scary. To come home, by myself, right now..the rest of the family at the hospital and read this is very special to me. You described exactly how I feel. It is a beautiful entry, and I'm really glad you all are family.
