But I have one now......

The other day a friend, Rose... who used to take care of me... making sure bills were paid, that I ate regularly... that sort of thing....

Well, since I had returned to school I managed to talk her into going to university as well... we share a sociology class and the other night she reached into her book bag and pulled out a nice frame with a picture in it......

In the picture there stood my dad, my mom and in the middle.... ME!!!!

I never ever had a pic with all 3 of us together....

For some reason when i looked at it at home I started to cry... just a little...

I really miss my mom... Even with all the bad things in my life that she was responsible for... In time I had managed to forgive her and we had become best friends... I was prepared for the worst when I lost her, but I was in no way ready for it... I never had the chance to tell her I love her that one last time...

I guess though that if I had said that I love her one more time I would have lamented the next lost opportunity to say it...

Anyhoo... It is a really nice Picture... my mom is reaching up and burshing something off my shoulder.... or swatting a wack at me playfully... I;m not sure which...

But it was from the time when, as a family, we were happiest.... and looking at it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.....

Thanks Rose....



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...
