Today's Quote

“As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘I want to follow my dad,’ or ‘I want to be like my mother’? Unlike the book on the library shelf, the covers of which shield its contents, our lives cannot be closed. Parents, we truly are an open book in the library of learning of our homes.” Thomas S Monson

Remember

I remember you. Do you remember me?  Do you remember Grandma had that one specific tree?

We had to be just 3 or 4.  You were right there... just next door.

I think there's an idea behind what is, but what?  You won't get close enough to tell.

It took me all these years to see, I left you there in Hell.

So now, it doesn't matter who or where I am.  You have left, gone away, and become a foreign Man.

Do you remember that one time you called me on the phone?

Do you remember that one time we had that crash right near your home?

I walked away both times.  I Don't know what you did then.

And now I'm trying to sort it out.... unless all the sorting's done.
