Life may not be the party we wanted, but while we're here, let's dance!
Life has dealt some bad blows to all of us, but when we look at how bad things could be, we can be contented, if not happy. The very worst thing that could happen to a parent happened to me, and it has taken some time to get past my son's death; notice I didn't say 'get over' because that is not possible. My son died in 1997. If I let it, I would be buried emotionally with my son. I can't allow that to happen. Having a daughter, son-in-law, two granddaughters, a bonus daughter, a husband, and extended family, all of this lets me think of other people, and other things, and go forward over this hurdle. We are a product and a result of all the experiences we have. Every person's experiences and interactions are different, every person is a separate person. Lets dance when we can!
a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister,a grandmother, an ex-cop;
I'm every woman, and only one, but with experiences common to others,
trying to stay young-at-heart, can't stay young in body.
