Letters To Heaven

Dear Dad, Its a very cold night here tonight and I was thinking about the day when we were little and you took us sleigh riding. You told me to jump on first, then Lisa would jump on followed by Carol. What a surprise when you jumped on all 3 of us! How did you do it, How did you drive to work 6 hours a day from Long Island to NJ and still be ok to play with us at night. We couldn't wait to see that white vw pull around the corner at 6:20. I have dreaded this day for as far back as I can remember. When I told you the last time I saw you that you were a hard act to follow, you didn't understand. I had to explain that I could never be as good of a parent as you were, never. I am trying and I am trying harder now. After giving your eulogy it made me realize what an inspiration you were to me as a person. Yes we had our differences but you were one of the best men God ever put on earth. I love you and I am so sad that things will never be the same. xo

Grieving

When your apt buzzer rings at 2 in the morning and you hear your mother's voice downstairs..you know it can't be good...

Dear Dad...

I miss you and I hope you are having a feast up in Heaven now enjoying all the foods you couldn't have for years, lentil soup with ham, an ice cold beer, hot pastrami,meatballs fried in oil not water. And I know you can finally walk again without pain and draw the way you use to and I hope your looking down at us knowing how much you are still loved. You were a special man. So many people at the wake, you were as close to a saint as you could be on earth. I didn't realize until now what an inspiration you were to me. You passed your artistic talent to Jennie and your generosity of spirit to me. I will try every day for the rest of my life to be as good of a person as you were.I miss you so much and wish you were here but I'm glad your out of pain. My life will never be the same.

Let it Snow!!

It's been a while since I felt this way. We just got in, its around 10 pm and its SNOWING outside! Less then a week till Christmas, jiffy pop, hot chocolate, a beautiful Christmas tree and songs on the piano (well keyboard!) Everthing feels so warm and cozy and perfect tonight. xoxo

Tree Blocks...a family owned company.
You can find them here. These are the coolest things. You can get one where the pieces can be assembled in different ways or one that is already assembled. I love to turn this treehouse into a seasonal event. At Christmas fill it with pine, in spring moss... Then go here to get these fabulous wooden animals.
You can add fairy dolls. This leaves so much to the imagination. One of my favorites. My daughter and I collect the wooden pieces, I try and add a piece every year.
There are 5 different German manufacturers of these and you can find them in handmade shops across the country.

Where is Jimmy Stewart?

***This is not meant to be an offensive post and I was going to remove it but I feel the need to speak out against whats going on. Also, I have been involved in the court system in NY and I can tell you what a horror that is. It's not funny it messes with people's lives and seems to do everything to protect the guilty.

And please feel free to leave your opinion whether or not it agrees with mine.

I don't usually follow politics but this health care bill has caught my attention. Did I hear correctly that this new health care plan will pay for abortions and take money away from the older people in this country like my parents. The people who fought in the wars and made this place a great place to live. And paying for abortions. :( Today watching this on tv reminded me of Mr. Smith goes to Washinton. Its about a corrupt government and a bill being pushed through. It seems like they are in a hurry to push this bill through. I don't like this president , he's scary and he is destroying our country. For anyone who has never seen that movie, watch it, where is our Jimmy Stewart to save the day?
