On another note I am not doing the Cards this year or last and I feel the guilt! But I need to save on finances. What I miss the most is caroling. I really miss the people who would go door to door and just sing beautiful carols. We should bring that back.Tea Time With Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05618314389490571856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-8128975177238005352008-12-07T18:18:00.000-05:002008-12-07T18:18:00.000-05:00Pamela, there is nothing I can add to all these wo...Pamela, there is nothing I can add to all these wonderful comments.

This snapshot, about your hair, is a terrific symbol of a child's connection with a parent. We want to please them, out of love, which was my number one goal as a parent, to love my kids so they would want to "please" me in the sense that they "make healthy choices" out of love, not out of fear of retribution. I hope you know what I mean.<BR/><BR/>And in the song, one line made me laugh, because when my dad passed from lung cancer, he was drifting in and out of consciousness in his last hours, then went into a coma for a time until he died. As he was drifting, he was telling an old joke about a father who told his boy "when I kick the bucket . . ." but the boy didn't understand what this idion meant, so he couldn't quite get why his dad was going to kick the waste basket some day.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-16971710705685941502008-12-06T05:01:00.000-05:002008-12-06T05:01:00.000-05:00Thank you for all you postIt is pure magic.I love ...Thank you for all you post<BR/>It is pure magic.<BR/>I love that song.<BR/>Thanks for posting the lycrics.<BR/>Blessings<BR/>Love JeanneJeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16734743330025974332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-9006577689866647012008-12-06T03:28:00.000-05:002008-12-06T03:28:00.000-05:00A beautiful and moving post Pamela.

Although I have commented on the following quote around the middle of this year on my site,I would like to quote it again as it seems so relevant to what you have beautifully expressed. I hope I am not repeating myself to you if you've read it previously, and hope you find it as moving as I do.<BR/>"There's something like a gold thread running through a man's words when he talks to his daughter and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you to pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself".Thank you for sharing your story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-49491911456087838012008-12-05T23:52:00.000-05:002008-12-05T23:52:00.000-05:00I hope you have found some comfort and serenity on...I hope you have found some comfort and serenity on this difficult day, Pamela. <BR/><BR/>We're never the same after we lose our dads. <BR/><BR/>xxElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03406942482508439839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-12224005662263889442008-12-05T23:18:00.000-05:002008-12-05T23:18:00.000-05:00I'm sure your dad would have tears in his eyes rea...I'm sure your dad would have tears in his eyes reading your beautiful tribute to him.
