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. But we survived the sad year and we're hoping I was pregnant again. New life was needed! Somehow we survived and we found optimism in the midst of that hell. Charlie Daniels was singing "The devil went down to Georgia". My husband Dan was driving us to meet friends at Oak Knoll in Ashland for dinner and dancing. I said no alcohol for me! We were excited about canning from the huge garden we raised. Suddenly there's 2 lanes of traffic at a standstill on the freeway. Dan slammed the brakes and the car was bouncing off guard rails. No seat belts. He tried to hold me down from bouncing all over the car and disl...
A lifetime in lyrics.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young... Peter Paul and Mary.
War came..
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Then I witnessed a miracle I wasn't worthy of named Shannan.
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue!
Then my precious one and only Danny Boy!
ReplyDeleteOh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling,
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,
Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying,
If I am dead, as dead I well may be,
You'll come and find the place where I am lying,
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.
Love each other!

Please. Someone out there must remember how much I love my children. My heart is exploding.
ReplyDeleteTell my children I love them.
All you who wished me the worst..you won! I'll never know why.
It's hard admitting how damaged I am and that I can't find my way out of my insanity.
ReplyDeleteThe guilt is too much. I have realized that I didn't think I was good enough for anyone and I sure didn't realize how important I was, especially to my children and those wonderful animals who loved me so much and I was too sick to know it. God forgive me for not counting my blessings.
This one nails it

Shannan I have often observed that you are a perfect combination of Dad and Darrell. One environmental, one genetic. Sadly you didn't get any of dad's or my intellect.
You got all their bad traits. I don't even like you anymore Shannan.
You are their child. Not mine. One day it's going to dawn on you.. maybe not.. you are as foolish as both of those abusers. Neither of them would spit on you. You ignorant little goon
