this is the dawning of the age of aquarius

the song that would instantly bridge the gap between me and mom

gaia

8 days after my last post, she passed away.

i still can't really believe that she isn't here with us anymore, because it doesn't feel like she has gone anywhere...i'm waiting for her to come waltzing back into the room as if she were Auntie Mame

for our children she was Auntie Mame and like her, she just slipped into another journey, where the adventure is hers first

completely impossible to replace any void she has left in our hearts
redefining our family takes a whole new meaning and like her
we go on

sleep sweet mommy
gleefie

miracle

just when i thought our family could bear witness to no more sadness and hurt
my father has
"woken up"

from a 15 year rip van winkle of
half here
half there
somewhere
aways from us
yet
with us

he's found his way back
and is sitting in a hospital bed
talking to his firstborn grandchild
heart of my heart
with HIS
grandpadad

as if the last 15 years hadn't happened
sorry to have missed time
but thankful for
another
beautiful
chance

praise be to G-d.
thanks be to G-d...

heart of YOUR heart daddy
i love you
welcome home
