I still see her in her white rocking chair. Sharp hearing and her once, sharp vision going. Rocking, dreaming of her grandchildren growing. Their toys, left abandoned, at which with love, she stares. Her heart broken from painful emptiness! Those days of hugs and love, forever gone. When, with those grandchildren, singing songs. If only their pictures, brought back such happiness. She knows full well these days are her very last. She is a delicate shell, abandoned on life’s shore. To her family, she’s a huge burden and more. Midnight Angels carried her to where she would be wanted, at long last! 1/8/2023

Sad, we hold onto the memories that are the best; we miss them, but we all go through those feelings.

So heartbreaking verse, yet so very true.. Many elderly sit alone; where are the children they raised? Wait until it comes around to them. I am very fortuned my children check up on me at all times and a brother & sister in-law that live next door. Loves and hugs my friend on this Sunday moring.

I don’t know, Eve! Families leave the elderly to fend for themselves? Righto! What goes around, comes around! My daughter works from home at my house. I am blessed to have her here daily. She’s a sweetheart, even makes lunch! Lucky you have relatives right next door. Cool. PS great that you are winning contests. Yaaa! Happy Sunday, from my house to yours. Panagiota

Hello Panagiota, yes you have all those memories of Eddie in his younger days. Yes he did keep you busy. Nothing wrong being sentimental. Hugs Darlene/ xxx
