The Family Spice of Life
Variety is indeed
the spice of life,
and when I think of
my immediate and
extended family
of this I don't have
to think twice,
with my three other
siblings and all
of their clan at our
nephews beautiful
outdoor Aug. 27th
Maryland wedding,
my younger sis
unfortunately not
making it because of
her hectic work schedule
meddling,
while me, myself and I
from my side was the
only one to make it,
hanging out with them
once again was nostalgic
and a memory keeper,
with our beautiful Mom
turning 80 in 4 months
she is still a wonderful
dancer and social greeter,
promising us she would
get her arthritic hands
checked out by her family doctor,
and being lonely we
are hoping she'll meet
very soon a nice elderly
gentlemen caller,
who will never replace
our deceased Dad whose
been gone over 2 years
and who was our brick and mortar,
and despite the fact that
were all spread out all over
the eastern USA map
as we go through each
personal strife with the
different spices this life
throws our way,
I hope and pray as we
go through each day,
that the love and good
memories and fondness
for each other will always
in our hearts and minds
remain.
