Save me.....save mme....from myself mostly....
Mama and I had, and in some respects always will have, redemptive love for each other. It is an aspect not usually embraced in ones thoughts when thinking about one's love for another human being. Still, it isn't a stretch of the imagination to believe that one's love releases another person from so many things. Having love for a spouse releases you from having to play all those "search for someone worthy of my love" games. Mommy and I were very fortunate to fin each other so young.
Should you have thoughts about this topic of 'redemptive' love I should very much enjoy your input.

I think I know what you mean, But I'd liove to hear more. What sort of games did you find/hear other being involved in that you were able to avoid because of your choices?

Being with someone you love really makes life a whole heck of a lot easier. It's like you've got a teammate against LIFE.

that's an ironic 'inside joke' snort (see Mendon's blog. I couldn't resist.

Well, I'm glad someone explained 'snort' value. I agree, Kristen is nice. I am also glad somebody thought my statement on the music industry was funny. Thanks.

Dear Papa
I like to say I found someone who makes me want to be the better me.
I had this random flash the other day for just a moment where it felt like I FELT what you've been going through. It was an overwhelming and mercifully brief moment. I don't even remember what I felt or why, I just remember thinking, "oh. Wow. How does he do it?"
I'm so sorry.j

Yes Mara, I know what you mean. It isn't just putting the best foot forward either. It's about truly being a better you.
As for feeling how I do after losing Mommy....well I am glad that is only for a moment for you because it is every moment for me. I have been re-connecting to the Women's Center and to others at Lakeland this past two weeks to remind them it is a year on Jan. 6th. I am giving them the Dec./Jan/ celebration calendar and a picture of Mommy in Haifa that Mark took of her so happy(it was before we knew of her cancer). We were very happy to be there too. We would walk all over Haifa arm in arm so in love with Haifa, the Holy places and us in the universe at large. It truly was the refuge for us before the storm.

Locating the village barn might not have been much of a challenge for my German removal firm, but carting my awkwardly shaped belongings in the narrow staircase in the barn it was! For very long term storage it's imperative to occupy as little space as you possibly can by stacking items upwards and to keep belonging safe and dry. The next time I shall certainly invest in green, recyclable boxes when moving house again.
