Shortly after Ma died my cousin's wife died in Ireland. I was about to ring her to say that would be with her within the week, when the phone rang with the news. She had died in the night. . . .

This evening I was sorting through Mimi's things which I had brought home to check before sending them to the charity shop. I discovered that Mimi and I have a lot in common. We are hoarders. . . .

'Twas a body blow -
"No such person" said Gather.
I'd been excluded.
Tony worked magic
And now I am back in the fold.
It was cold out there.

I am returned, back amongst you again and I can't wait to catch up. I have 27+ messages to read, masses of articles to read and a few to write. It will take some time as I have to reconnect . . .

Of grace and beauty.

She worries because
She doesn't know where she lives.

I said "Your friends on Gather would love to be able to meet you".
"I'd love to meet them too" she said "I'll be getting my wings soon and I'll go and visit them all". . . .

She is so weary
Yet laughs as she says
"They should just shoot me"

She whispered to me
"I'm Marilyn Monroe's mother"
"She's lovely" I said
And she glowed with quiet pride,

My journey to see Rosie,

In an atmosphere - not overly sad.
Tasteful it was with music so lovely. . . .

When/If the time seems right
Do not hesitate. Just come
Sans fear, turn the key.
