The Love

Day 6 of 2013

Yesterday's blog was such an emotional release for me I was exhausted.  I was relieved.  I didn't hold back much.  I was told by a friend that it was like she was reading my diary. 
Sometimes I have to talk, don't you.  I have to just expel from my heart what is trampling on the pleasures in  my life ... it may involve tears.  Not everyday can be good.  Come on - Reality - most days do not have big highs just degrees of highs and lows.  I will let you peer into my life.  Learn my fears.  Feel my happiness. Be with me when I laugh.  Be that shoulder when I cry.  Be there when I explode  .... just let me ramble if I need to, it may be a therapy day. 

The aftermath -  The outpouring of love and concern for Bethy bolsters my faith in humanity.  I knew that our friends would scoop Bethy up and ease her fears with love.  She even got a pair of  "happy socks" from Toni.  I know Beth those "happy socks" will be well worn threads soon enough,  She will wear them out!!!!  

Bethy and her 3 wonderful children spent the weekend with us so the 4 of them went to our Christian meeting this morning instead of their own.  That gave us a few more hours together before she went home.  The girls go back to school tomorrow so she insisted on going home.  And Her husband, Jim, may have missed her.  He probably did.  I know I'm going to.   I think she was feeling better by the time she headed back home.  We had lunch, there was more hugs and more kisses.  Passers by who could see us from the road, we were at the Chinese restaurant, probably smiled.  With all the hate and lack of natural affection in this world it is always good to see young people and OLD people show appreciation for time shared with a  hug and kiss.  HA, we set a good example this time!!
