It may be the Oscars and the world rages on with politics and opinions. And yet ...
If I had wings I would fly to Buffalo tonight for Marion Boyd's benefit. Janna talked to her class about Mar-Mar's illness and they drew a picture for her.
Ah, Mar-Mar, I hold you in my thoughts as friends and family gather round tonight, and cherish you to health with great love. It almost feels like a lifetime since I last saw you. In fact it was just two months ago that I sped away to Buffalo to be with you.
Memories of kisses on infant cheeks, dancing with babies, creme savors, pop and chicken wings early in the morning, laundry on and on for infant, toddler and preschool teams, laughing out loud, calling me "Boss," weeping with exhaustion, holding hands.
You feel so far away.
As every flower fades and as all youth departs, so life at every stage - so virtue, so our grasp of truth - blooms in its day and does not last forever. Be ready heart for parting, new endeavor. Herman Hesse
Hey, hold on for me to see you in April - not long now!
