An Anniversary August 9, 1974
50 incredible years. An anniversary There are moments in our lives that change the course of the future. Aug.9, 1974 was one of those days. Nixon resigned. A year before tragedy struck our family and took the life of my sweet sister leaving 3 helpless children and our mother destroyed. I miscarried our baby because of the stress.

Pain
ReplyDeleteLast things last
By the grace of fire and flames
You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh-ooh

Pain!
You break me down and build me up, believer, believer

My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
When I was a child, the animals were who sustained and comforted me. I wasn't allowed to play like other kids.
ReplyDeleteMy greatest sin is not fully understanding what sentient, intelligent creatures they are. Yes, I cared for them, taught my kids to be kind and take care of pets. But I didn't know what glorious friends I had or how much they love me.

I love you so much. I worry that you don't have family. It's not what I wished for you.
