"... did you really want me? Tell me the story again..."

My childhood has not been that happy, and I finally found how to deal with that: trying to identify with an orphan, even telling friends that my ideal next girlfriend should be and orphan too. Family, mine and girlfriends', brought as many bad memories as good ones. Thanks for your lessons and examples of happiness, including "Anne and Marius" pic of 1956. Speaking of happiness, Happy birthday, dear Jeannette <3

Oh...Jeanne, I wept, I felt this to the bone, the beauty and pain and saving of souls, the l’immortale oil on her dresser, the way life is passed along from generation to generation. Love to you all.

Again you had me in tears..A very brutal and honest story.I watched my mum hold hands with her mum who was 98 when she was dying.I wrote to my mum after to say I hope when her time comes I can be as caring..On a happy note I took my friends kids to Frozen last year.We all cried.x
