Remembering

Remembering has always been easier for me than trying to forget something that  l am ashamed of.I love to remember all those lavish southern meals you laid out for everyone across the years.The holidays were your forte with crystal serving dishes, and crystal water,whine, and whiskey glasses.Demitasse cups of porcelain for Italian coffee on occasion. ;and tiny glass spoons to distribute salt upon your food.My God you truly were the last of the southern bells.The first and last in my life anyway.You the five foot ,four inch package of dynamite holding your own on horseback or face to face confrontation with anyone who dared to cross your path. Then late at night for me alone you where the passion of my dreams. I want to be leave your waiting for me some where in time so I can show you how much weight I've lost cooking for myself.God I love you so much  and l wish to God I could forget the half a dozen times I made you cry.I know you've forgiven me ,but I'll never forgive myself.

it is sad that we cannot fulfill someone's wishes. However, we must follow our own heart. Most have been on both sides of this fence. Only someone kind thinks about and cares for the one who is smitten. On some level, it's how we act toward these others that defines us. You have nothing to be ashamed or at all.

It's so good to hear that you are losing weight and feeling so much better in your transforming body. You are an inspiration, Michael. Thanks for your note to me. I think it is funny about the ice you are chewing. Wish I had something of that myself that I enjoyed doing so much that I could lose weight!!
