bellafan 11341 Report post Posted November 26, 2015 This afternoon I had the chance to be with a woman who has been very special to me for over three years now - someone I hadn't seen that way for a long, long time. It felt very good! To be together - to enjoy warm physical contact and to talk and laugh, like we always seem to do. It made a cold day in Ottawa very, very warm ;) bellafan 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bellafan 11341 Report post Posted November 27, 2015 My apologies in advance. My post is long and a bit heavy, but a highlight for me today, nevertheless. I finally understand how important it was for me to spend a couple of weeks with my grandfather in Laura, Saskatchewan over fifty years ago. My grandmother had to go somewhere. My grandfather had suffered a stroke and needed someone to stay with him, just in case. We were living in Saskatoon, not far away. It was summer - a beautiful warm, dry Saskatchewan summer. I was twelve or thirteen, I think. I was the one who would be with my grandfather. I didn't understand then how important my presence could be. My grandfather had four children, including my mother, the eldest, and one son, Joseph (Joe), the youngest. Joe was very talented but quite wild around the edges - spoiled rotten, drank too much, chased skirts and ended up in the St. Lawrence River in his early thirties, with a wife and many children in St. John's, NL. I resembled Joe a lot. I would guess that my being with my grandfather comforted him greatly. We very much enjoyed being together. We exchanged very few words, but lots of connection. We would go for walks and collect beer bottles and mushrooms, which he would cook in butter. Yummy! In the afternoon he would smoke his pipe in his den, and take a nap. Beautiful, peaceful times! A lovely man, of few words, who lies buried now in Laura, with his wife, not far from where my mother and my father also rest in peace. Only tonight did I realize fully how good that time was for me, and probably for him :) bellafan 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is good to honor those who have gone before us by keeping them in your mind and heart. Even if you only remember now and then, they like it, I'm sure. :) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest n*gu**6 Report post Posted November 27, 2015 Having a lovely lunch with an even lovelier lady. I just love the feeling I get when I see her smile. I could spend all day with her I think and I would still miss her the very second she left. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
