A Lacing~~ So worn I feel at last day's end, knowing that this morning would begin by sending off two of my nieces and an older brother, back home to New England. Family visits can be rather trying, as you can't wait for everyone to gather and then shortly after, you can't wait to have your solitude once again. Yes, I know, I don't use that word very often, as I think of another who does... for I am a person who needs people. Remember those words to Barbra's song... I am lucky...lucky to have been able to gather all five of us children together for my Mother, who was smiling during most of the visit. The last time we were all gathered in one place was five years ago, for the funeral of our Father. Funny how the more things change, the more they stay the same and all those memories flooded our conversations, bleeding us in a lacing of tears, happy ones to take with us, this time. And so it is, that I can sit here in my solitude, ~smiling~ knowing that each of us has added another snapshot of family life to an already full album...never forgetting those who have passed this way, once before. M A Lacing~~ inspired by Seymours words today "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less."
