My Mom's parents -with whom I grew up, my Mom, all her siblings and their spouses, and even one of my first cousins (two years younger than me) on that side and all of my Dad's family that I was fortunate enough to get to know when I was growing up, to say nothing of more friends than I really want to try to count. Aging is better than the alternative but as that number rises, so do the numbers in the "lost" column too. I live in the house my grandparents built, where I was born, grew up and then raised my children here. Now, two of my grandchildren are growing up in this house but they won't hear the soft bass voice of my grandpa as I do, will never smell the scent -actually the odor -of the Swedish codfish soaking in preparation for our Christmas Eve dinner either. And they'll never know those wonderful people I had surrounding me in my childhood and youthful years. Wonder what they'll have for their "ghosts" in years to come?<br />And before I forget -I so agree with your logic regarding your older daughter! Stay put, don't venture out unless it is an absolute emergency -if the weather forecasts are on target this year it looks to be a pretty good mix of weather coming your way, then to me!<br />Peace and God Jul!Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-60514327235845062322009-12-23T16:27:55.830-06:002009-12-23T16:27:55.830-06:00I love that festive pic, and hope you have a lovel...I love that festive pic, and hope you have a lovely family Christmas.Ellee Seymourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647480320978146418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-2783606121340608422009-12-23T14:18:50.945-06:002009-12-23T14:18:50.945-06:00" And I'll remember my parents.
