Sorrow and Joy.......

This morning my Aunt Armelda passed on.  I remember her best for sending me birthday cards...when the rest of my family sent nothing or didn't call--I would get one from her.  I never heard her say a bad thing about anyone in the entire time I have known her.  She had two children that were born with multiple problem that has required life long surgeries.  I guess most people would call them short people.  But to me they are the people I think about when someone uses the word hero.  Although they had stubs for fingers, they both learned to play the piano and well.  Both have gotten their college degrees and then some.  Although they could be bitter about their draw in life--they are upbeat and have wonderful personalities  It took a wonderful person to raise my cousins to have such great self esteem and I will miss her greatly.  I am sad because I surely will not see her again in this life or the next.....I don't think we are going in the same direction and that is the way it should be.

The other night I got to sit and talk to Savannah Dutton for a while.  It looks like she is doing well and her cancers are all going away.   Last spring I didn't expect her to live through the summer.  I actually don't believe that God interferes with ones life in one way or another.....but who knows, if good stuff like this happens, maybe there is intervention from a higher source...gosh I might have to get saved again.  It was a wonderful conversation and I could tell she has grown a lot...she was actually sweet to me...

Once last comment about the last blog---I heard comments about how I was "mean" about my comment about Lillie.  I guess I live in a world that I really don't belong....Reminds me of an Outer Limits episode where it starts  out by saying "there are people that live among you, that look like you, act like you, talk like you, but are not one of you."  That is how I feel.  One of the nicest comments I could make about someone is that they make me laugh.  In this life there are not many that do that for me.  So I guess I should go build my little house on Walden Pond and ponder about the many thing I think about.
