MEMORIES IN MY LIFE
What A Journey this has been, this life of mine.
People, places and things keep changing.
I know that’s how it has to be
When you just start to feel comfortable with your life
It gives you a slap in the head and says
Move on to the next step,
Step by step… Your life keeps going forward
If you would have told me years ago that I would be living here, I would had said you were nuts,
Wow I am here and I am very surprise at myself.
People ask me, what has been the hardest part of my life, was it bringing up five children? Was it being married? Being a mother and a wife was very hard at times and yet so rewarding. I felt so much love. Being a Grandma or Nana as some call me is the most wonderful feeling. The love for them gave my life meaning again. What it did for me was having that kind of love in my heart & knowing why I am still here. I feel so much love for my grand children. I tell them I love them, but I don’t think they will know that kind of love till they are grand parents, On that day they will understand what I was saying to them. It's so special.....
In the slient of the night I sit here and start to think of all my days being a child, a teenager, a young lady, a mom, a wife and nana…
Ah!! I think of many years. Time keeps changing so many things, places and people. Friends come and go, but true ones are always with you even if they are far away.
Just a phone call and you can talk, cry, and laugh all you want. True friends can be your family too…
Sisters & brothers become your friends as you grow older. No matter how many fights you had when you were children. They are there for you now.
It’s been so hard to lose loved ones. I miss my Mom and Dad and Marty.
I miss my life back then. It could never be again.
Now it’s all my memories, my treasures that will stay with me forever. I think that was the hardest for me, to live alone and being a lone.
It was always mom and dad there for me, then my husband and now with out them, It's the hardest
I sit here and think. of H.S, grade school, playing in the street, punch ball and all the crazy games I use to play…
It was a good life for children back when
We could play and be safe in our streets.
I guess being older now I have more time to sit and think of my life.
This has been one of those nights for me
I’m sitting here listening to this beautiful music and counting my blessings.
And feeling all my loved ones surround me.
I’m heading to bed and going to listen to my music.
I can still hear the music playing in my home from
My yesteryears
