INVITATION   A blank piece of paper Is a wonderful thing. I pick up my pen And let my imagination take wing.   What comes out Isn't often quite right. But sometimes I feel My thoughts HAVE to take flight.   Sometimes I write Of things that are sad, Like the heart searing sorrow Of losing my dad.   Then I might write About a talking frog named Fool, Just to entertain my grandkids So they'll think Grandma's cool.   I especially like trying To find the right phrase That ju...

My heart is heavy this evening. I miss my Mama so much. Every time that the phone rings, I expect it to be her. I cried and cried earlier and now my blood pressure is through the roof. I want to run and scream and cry and I cannot because I am afraid too. I cannot accept the fact that she is gone.  In my mind I know that she is no longer here, but in my heart I just cannot accept that I cannot go see her or call her.
