i wish i could talk to my grandfather right now. he lived for so long, that it's strange not to have him around to ask questions. i keep wanting to ask him what 1913 was like for our family. was there trouble in the fields? were there any family tragedies? or was it a happy year full of birth and joy. this year we have been confronted with alot of heart ache. and i'm ready to let go of the consistent strain of bad news. we are eager to move forward.
so tonight, i'll sit by the fire and read a little. an alice munro short story. until i fall asleep. and i'll move happily into tomorrow, quilting quilts and starting the week with positive and bright energy.
Xoxoxoxoxo....
ReplyDeleteright back atcha!!!
DeleteYou are so good at capturing life in a few words. The quilt is a lovely idea. I'm sorry your family is going through a rough patch.
ReplyDeleteI too wish I could like to my grandparents (and parents). Yes, I do regret. Why 1913?
jen....thanks for always givving me such nice supportive words.
Deletei have never experienced a year like this. and it makes you wonder about the superstition of 13. so i'd love to ask about 1913 :)
I think of things like that a lot. I am always calling my parents now and asking questions that I want to know the answer to before it is too late. I'm sorry this was such a hard year for you. I hope next year brings only beauty and joy.
ReplyDeleteit's getting turned around. i have to start writing down my questions when i have them, because i always forget when i'm with my parents.
