THE DAY HER WALL CRACKED
THE DAY HER WALL CRACKED There was no holding back +++++++++++++++++++++++ Mom was always the stronger of my parents. Dad, well, dad was an old softie. Kind of like a big, soft, cuddly teddy bear. With the exception of my wedding, I never saw him cry but, he was free with his hugs and encouragements. He also never found a way to hide any disappointment he felt when one of his children did something of which he didn’t approve.

Today's Funeral
I volunteered to take a vegetable platter to a stranger's funeral. When my mother died, I couldn't bear to eat anything at her funeral. I felt sick to my stomach and, even though mourners are supposed to eat at funerals, I couldn't bear to eat a mouthful. I felt very much like vomiting blood on the floor of the hall and being carried out on a stretcher. That felt appropriate. What did not feel appropriate was picking up a plate and filling it with vegetables, little sandwiches, and chocolate-covered strawberries.

I HAVE HER EYES
I HAVE HER EYES Tears and all You could say shock and bewilderment were two emotions I felt when I looked in the mirror. Growing up, I knew, except for my blue eyes, I had my dad’s features. My mom often said there could never be any doubt I was Frank’s daughter. However, I inherited my blue eyes from my mom. My mom was such a beautiful looking woman and dad? Well, dad was so handsome. Yeah, I inherited the best from both of them.
