Ramblings from a 60 yr old, Whom Quite Often Doubts Herself.
Can you say what you want on a blog??? Is it the same as face book? Is everyone going to read it? Should our thoughts and actions be always be out there for everyone to critique? What IF you were just naive and only wanted good for the people around us, what if we rejoiced when they rejoiced, what if we were sad when they were sad, what if we really believed love covered all things - is that even possible? What if we never kept anything to ourselves, because others are included deep inside of our own souls, what if the others we love are our souls- so we don't love without having loved ones around us, we weren't sad without the ones we love being sad with us, what if we don't laugh without the people we love laughing with us, what if, Just what if we aren't our self if we aren't apart of the souls we love. What if the people we love are our souls? So, why don't we share everything, accept people for who and how they are, love people for whom they are, and rejoice when they rejoice, be sad when they are sad, love when they love, cry when they cry, let our lives be together and within the lives of the people we love. Why do we pretend, refrain, and separate our thoughts and lives from each other? I'm nearly 60, and it just came to me - I love so many people - but, what is love - does it really cover everything - or not. I've been just thinking, since I was raised in a "children's home", do I really even know what love is - or do I think love is what I want it to be - Is love simple or is love complicated? I do know what love is, and what love isn't.....I above all others do know what love is and what love isn't. Love is all the things I want it to be! I have found love in places most people take for granted - I wish is for everyone to find the love I have.

Hi Nana,
That was really beautiful! I am so sad that you have been sad. You are the one who taught me exactly what love is. Love is patient, love is kind, love keeps no record of wrongs. Love is not easily angered. Even though this is from 1 Corinthians, this is you love me and my family. I am glad you love us this way. We are a blessed family to be the recipient of your vast, transparent love, that does not remember our wrongs and that is not easily angered when we disappoint you.
I truly DO understand what love is. ALL my life you have been there for me. You have loved me unconditionally, from the Children's Home and on. I don't think I ever missed having a mother, I've always had you! I can say I hurt when you hurt, and would go to the ends of the earth to keep you from hurting. I would be such a better person if I were more like you, but, sadly, there's more Sissi in me than you!!
I love you, you almost 60 year old woman!
Love is definitely one of the first emotions I feel when I think of you. You are one of the most loving, caring, nurturing people I know. Thank you for taking care of my Mama when she was just a tiny little child and when she was grown-up but needed strength standing up for herself.
I definitely don't have a more awesome aunt!
