Time didn't ever feel like it was flying by when I was raising my kids, in fact, I wondered sometimes if they were ever going to be independent. However, in hindsight, WOW. Just here and then a memory. *sigh*Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-69237156783665930902012-01-27T16:57:04.471-05:002012-01-27T16:57:04.471-05:00Oh, Jo, so beautifully written.

But it went slowly, too, and for the most part savored, through there were certainly painful bits. Love living in the moment, enjoying reflections of the past, looking forward to great adventures to come.<br /><br />So sorry you lost your sister. We expect to lose our parents, not our sibs, until we are all very, very old.Beverly Diehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392288953821757887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-30283428831263774312012-01-27T12:36:45.457-05:002012-01-27T12:36:45.457-05:00Ya know what?

I enjoy knowing that I am 62 and could use that as an excuse and some days, I do. It's a good life and I have so many things to thank God for every single day and I don't have time to vegetate! Don't want to either.<br /><br />Thank you for your support and friendship always. ♥Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-1905406653079878652012-01-27T05:22:43.357-05:002012-01-27T05:22:43.357-05:00Beautifully done, Jo.

We got on to the subject of age and how 60 is no longer old. I am of a different generation. I still see 60 as an old lady, grey, sitting in her chair and knitting, like my nana was. My daughter sees her dad, freshly retired, busy in the garden, looking to do consultancy work, throwing his grandson around and generally behaving like a 40 year old. Times change, time changes us and it often takes a while for our perceptions to catch up with those changes.Mojo Writinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09457472397010589516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-16588005298198147722012-01-26T23:34:00.199-05:002012-01-26T23:34:00.199-05:00You are so very welcome in this big ole circle. Yo...You are so very welcome in this big ole circle. You have added so much to my life. Thank you so much for always having kind words for me and my work. This particular blog was just poured out of me. My daughter's TIA had not be revealed when I wrote this. As I read it the day her fiance called me with the news, I wondered why I was so moved to write this memory of love that particular day. The next day to be so fearful that she could be lost to me. I know that God is always with me, in me and I have to believe that He guided my thoughts. Made me recall 3 of my blessings, least I need to hold onto that memory the next few days.<br />Now she is mending and so far, all is well, I feel like I have never been nearer to her than at this time. Yet the 9 hours still separates us. Yep, I am blessed and protected. She is also.<br />♥ u and all you have become to me.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-37046918460504211112012-01-26T23:28:16.844-05:002012-01-26T23:28:16.844-05:00Thank you so much for reading and posting.

After laboring early morning to late into the night with the first, we both ran fevers, and it was cool to have a baby, but I barely had the energy to hold him. My middle was a cone head with cuts all over her face... she went through battle. Baby three was born so fast, I finally had energy to enjoy her.<br /><br />I read your comment on Beth's blog.
