It took time and effort on your part when it's so much easier to just toss something that's no longer wanted, but it's a gift that will forever be treasured by this man for whom this artist meant so much. This reminds me to be mindful of how I approach every task, even "just" clearing my space. My husband recently asked his grandmother for a small metal sculpture that his grandfather had made--she still had one but didn't realize how important this memory was to him.<BR/><BR/>I'll second what heike says, though I think we all fall into that kind of language sometimes.FridaWriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321658097813377806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-20577711943050903342008-08-28T08:55:00.000-04:002008-08-28T08:55:00.000-04:00Can someone techy do a wonderful thing for me??

As to what you can and can't do physically...that has nothing to do with what you can do in other areas. I come to your blog every day to be uplifted, educated and/or entertained...depending on the day! (No pressure!

But i've just worked out what.<BR/>You write that "While I am most certainly disabled. The best part of me has not been crippled."<BR/>You really should not be thinking like that any more. Do i deduct a slight tendency here to undervalue yourself because of your physical disability. Dave, don't you know how much you are valued and appreciated? Don't you know how much we love you? There is nothing diminished about you or your spirit, even though bits of that old body might not wanna play ball any more. <BR/>We value you, Dave. I don't care how you put your pants up, or down, or how ofen for that matter. I read your blog every day, depsite what you get up to with your underwear. Why? Because you are simply the best!Heike Fabighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06856001856348587649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-92121408746711570742008-08-28T02:38:00.000-04:002008-08-28T02:38:00.000-04:00Wow that's so great - the artist's work coming ful...Wow that's so great - the artist's work coming full circle. I imagine how thrilled and emotional I'd be to get a phone call from someone offering me something my grandmother created, or even a letter written by my grandad...it chokes me up.<BR/><BR/>In decluttering articles they always say 'if you don't really love something, pass it on to someone who will." You can be totally satisfied about where that painting went.Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704810407872873565noreply@blogger.com
