We always felt really comfortable coming home

Often she told us,

“A happy home is not a showpiece,

it’s a celebration

of where you have journeyed

and of

those who have journeyed

with you.”

She must have believed it

because we always felt

really comfortable coming home.

Suddenly I'll Seem to Know a Lot More Then.

Right now they don't listen to anything I have to offer.

I don't mind because I know that I won't know much at all

till they are much older and have made a few of their own mistakes.

Suddenly I'll seem to know a lot more them.

No one is watching ....

They're watching.

They're listening.

You've been hurt before and you will be again.

Now dance, sing and love anyway!

Letting the Muddy Waters Settle ...

"Sit back and find the discipline not to react;
let the muddy waters settle till the appropriate action becomes clear?"

She always appeared so graceful with her emotions and with mine,

so she must have practised this technique time and time again.

Her kind little message.

She just knew which kind little message to give each and everyone,

so they could tuck it into their heart pocket and keep it safe there, forever and ever.

I take mine out on cold days when I get lonely.

It's a bit tattered these days but it still makes me feel warm and special.

Keep enjoying the magic .....

I was really self disciplined when I was younger.Whenever my galloping heart was light and giddy with a carosel of shiny distractions I'd focus hard, be all serious, and do the grown up stuff anyway.

Now that I'm older I know it's better to keep enjoying the magic and save some for later because there will be days when you forget where you put your pixie dust.

35. All the amour I'll ever need...

Self respect sometimes came at a price

but it was one of the few things worth fighting for.

That was what he told me.

He also said to wear my self respect always

because it would be all the amour I would ever need.

But he never got round to telling me where to get it.

33. Just like you always did ...

It's really hard to believe all the stuff people say when a special person dies, like them never really being gone and they'll always be with you ... blah blah blah.

Then I catch myself chating to you, and you are solving my problems, making me feel like I came up with the answers all by myself, just like you always did.
