Jami

today in 1979 my daughter Jami died. It is unbelievable that so much time has gone by and so much has happened since that time--no my world didn't end; though I wanted it to somedays.

Since that time Allen has died May 18, 2001, Dad October 10, 2001 and Mom, February 26, 2007. I suppose that life goes on whether we want it to or no so each of us might as well make time count because it will pass regardless. Happiness is a decison I suppose not just a state of being.

Your Grandpa once was a little child a little child like you.

This is Grandpa Geslison when he was about 12 years old I just found it a few days ago. I think it is just so precious. I hope you enjoy.

This Picture was taken over one hundred years ago before my parents were even born. It is a picture of my grandmother's family. They lived in Kingston upon Hull, East Yorkshire England. My Grandma is the only one smiling in this picture. Her father was holding my grandma's younger brother. This picture was taken sometime after her her mother died--grandma's mother died when grandma was just nine years old.

I'm the one in the middle-the little sister my hands held by my older sister: Elaine and older brother Allen. So many years ago time doesnt sit still for anyone. Life is ment to be lived not saved.

Time

I have been thinking how fast time goes by; like the song in Fiddler on the Roof: Sunrise Sunset
tevye)is this the little girl i carried,is this the little boy at play?
(golde)i don't remember growing older,when did they?
(tevye)when did she get to be a beauty,when did he grow to be so tall?
(golde)wasn't it yesterday when they were small?
(men)sunrise, sunset (x2),swiftly flow the days.
(women)seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers,blossoming even as we gaze.
(everyone)sunrise, sunset (x2),swiftly fly the years,one season following another,laiden with happiness and tears.
(tevye)what words of wisdom can i give them,how can i help to ease their way?
(golde)now they must learn from one another,day by day.
(perchik)they look so natural together.
(hodel)just like two newlyweds should be.
(perchik and hodel)is there a canopy in store for me?
(everyone)sunrise, sunset (x2), I first heard this song when I was single without anyone in mind to marry. then I married now I am in the spot of Golde-and Tevye; full circle is my life.
