"...To borrow a line from You've Got Mail? "Don't cry, little shopgirl."<br /><br />(You always looked like Meg Ryan to me anyway . . .before she botoxed, bless her heart.)<br /><br />Karla - thanks for the kind words about my post. I doubt my site will be so tearful . . . most of the time. I hope to be as transparent as you are and as goofy as I am. <br /><br />I remember your movie-star-handsome dad. Elegant, tall, strong. And your images of shelling peas in that un-airconditioned world with dancing aunties all around? Bliss. <br /><br />We should mourn, and grieve and miss the people and places and times we have loved. So I take it back . . . cry your eyes out. I know I do sometimes. <br /><br />But thanks for reminding me -and all your readers - of "The Sweet By and By". Your daddy is surely waiting to meet you on that be- ee- yoo- ti -ful shore.<br /><br />P.S. You could literally do a series - and I do mean YOU - on hymns. I'd love to read what you have to say about some of those treasured songs . . . hmm, am I on to something?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
