Just a quick note …
I’m not sure how it happened. I was driving home from work. I was tired, a little stressed about moving and all the burdens I’ve been carrying for so long. I’d finished a mystery on CD, and I put Celine Dion’s Christmas album in the player. There was “Oh, Holy Night” in all its glory. […]
I really like this photo of my mother and grandmother. My grandmother was an amazing woman and I loved her dearly. When Nana died it just devastated mom, and I have always been a little sad that my son never got a chance to know his great-grandmother. And it pains me more than I can […]
