Welcome friend. Today is a promise. Unfortunately, I cannot make you any. I cannot promise you perfection or, at times, even sanity. *wink* I am just here, searching for the same thing as you. Hope. Joy. Love. And I'm finding it in the journey. So, if you like coffee as much as I do, why don't you pour yourself a cup, take a deep breathe and stay awhile. Maybe we can find the joy together.

Grandpa Joe

Awhile ago I posted about my Grandpa, and how we were notified it was nearing the end.
I could not get over the sad.

And then, he rebounded.
And all were astounded.

He requested pizza, of all things and sat up talking in a joyful tone.

I spoke with him, but a couple of days ago.

His voice sounded 5 years younger. We laughed, and confided. He heard my hopes and dreams as he has done so many times in the past. He has always been a sounding board, a pin board of my hopes. And he has always remembered each and every one.

It was such a gift. A treasure to hold always, pinned away in my heart. The place where I keep hold of all those that make up the definition I call Love.

I don't know how long it will last. I don't know if I will ever get another chat like that again, but I give God glory, I give Him honour, I give Him thanks, to be able to hear my Grandpa answer the phone himself and say, "Ya'ello Doll," one. more. time.
