I don't think she realized how she magically touched people's lives and hearts. I still miss her every day.<br /><br />JuliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-23320535135838427102013-02-15T13:43:39.595-05:002013-02-15T13:43:39.595-05:00I never knew her, I remember her and cannot believ...I never knew her, I remember her and cannot believe it has "been a few years" since she has passed.<br />Be Well<br />Donna<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-87281057101010768702013-02-13T23:19:39.080-05:002013-02-13T23:19:39.080-05:00"I know".......I know Tessa, now.

So often people stop doing that because they don't want to upset people or think its morbid.<br />My aunt keeps on coming back to me with a pretty drunken sounding, rasping Jayne shouted out on occasions. She used to drink far too much when she got older but it just covered up a lot of physical pain. That raspy sound though and her very Welsh accent would make you sit up. Wales is a place where voices come back to you if you listen hard enough. They stay here in ha land and the spirit if tha land! I'm coming Aunty Gwen...another gin?

I think that I will never have children and I am still not at ease with this thought, but a part of a song comes up, whenever I feel to sad about it:<br /><br />"Oh Job, well, I been thinkin' what it's all about.<br />Job, well, I been thinkin' I might have figured somethin' out.<br />Sometimes the best that you can do's a stupid smile holdin' up your face<br />when you.get that funny old familiar fear, afraid you'll disappear<br />without a trace.<br />Job, I do believe everybody leaves a trace.<br />Even if it's just a smile on a stranger's face."<br /><br />That helps<br />Julia<br />(and I was just recently thinking about Tessa, because I read something about butterflies...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
