doing just fine thanks
kind of you to stop and ask
how's your wife and kids?
really? divorced and empty nest?
that's why you were being nice

         ... sad

Aw now Chris,
We're not being cynical, right? Peace, hope, love, courage and a few hugs thrown in for good measure.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Don't worry Larry. This just came from something I was watching on television. But, in "real life" it happens too. And...it is sad. Thanks for reading and caring. Hugs!

Chrislane, it is SO good to see
you writing again...

and it doesn't matter where you
get your inspiration from...

as life imitates art,
and vice-versa...

it is, what it is...

and this?  Is spot on.

(big angel hugs) Oh Chris, this is indeed true in real life as well, and there's nothing more heartbreaking than the sight of seeing parents break up and rejoice their independence while their children are in grief and heartbreak that may never mend! (sad sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, you have a loving golden heart, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Chris, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
