One Lonely Musky Tear

I cry a single musky tear
It’s finally time for me to depart
For far too long I have been here
Casarah, Maurice and Tim
Until we meet again tomorrow  
You will all remain in my heart

Having read the title, I wondered what happened to the other two Musky Tears as I thought your wit was up to no good again. Having read the comments, sorry to read about your dad Jan, James........

Jan Allison

September 24, 2014 at 4:09 PM

Despite everything James he is doing really well but i guess he knows his time is running out and is actually making it easier for me to deal with when the inevitable day dawns - hes remarkable and so pragmatic makes me relaise how much i love him:-) hugs jan xxx Maurice Yvonne wrote a poem called casarah tim Jan and me - we are the four musketeer or musky tears lol

Jan Allison

September 24, 2014 at 1:53 PM

LOl Brenda - it does say i'll see you tomorrow:-) I would never leave without saying a proper goodbye ... started to discuss dad's funeral today is surreal as he's still here but he wants certain things arranging bless him -think hes trying to make it easier for me Hugs Jan xxx

Yeah, no I agree what a beautiful way to say goodnight and luckily the caregiver that helps me with my mom sometimes was here. Lucky she knows CPR. No really I'm fine really.

Jan Allison

September 24, 2014 at 11:49 AM

You scared me for a second there--Jan---not that you might be leaving---but that you might have ruined a beautiful poem, by trying to fit my name on your list----You know I'm just kidding---It really was about the leaving part !

Jan Allison

September 24, 2014 at 8:22 AM

LOL Jerry it was to say goodnight to the other musketeers Tim, Casarah and Maurice we were all on the site at the same time last night LOL Hugs Jan xx

I'm in the UK Charlene so we have about a 6 hour time difference so it really is a new day for me here. I am OK - the musky tear is reference to a poem Maurice Yvonne wrote about myself Casarah and Tim
