Deeper Touch
When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I [...]
My Mother
My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE -
“If you’re going to kill each other, do it outside -I just finished cleaning!”
My mother taught me LOGIC -

“Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you’re in an accident.”
My mother taught me IRONY -
“Keep [...]
I Loved You Enough
Erma Bombeck
Someday when my children are old enough to understand the logic that motivates a parent, I will tell them:
I loved you enough to ask where you were going, with whom, and what time you would be home.
I loved you enough to insist that you save your money and buy a bike for yourself even [...]

By Marion Bond West
I had always wanted to be a mother. In my youthful days, I could imagine running through a field of daisies with my children. My long hair would fall in great swirls about my face, radiant with motherhood. My children would look up adoringly at me, and the sun would shine warmly [...]
Our Trees

Marriage Is Merger Of Two Souls
You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days.
Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another but make not a bond [...]
