I SUPPOSE IT HAPPENS TO SOME MORE THAN OTHERS...YOU KNOW, YOUR MESSAGES HERE ON THE SCREEN FIRST THING IN THE MORNING...GENERALLY SOME PROMISING YOU FAME AND FORTUNE IF YOU SEND THEM ALONG TO 14 OTHER PEOPLE IN 14 MINUTES...AND THEN THE ONES WHO EITHER WANT TO COAT YOUR DRIVEWAY, SHINGLE YOUR ROOF, OR MAKE YOU VIRILE AND FOREVER ACCOMMODATING! GOT ONE THIS MORNING THAT REALLY TOUCHED MY HEART AND MADE ME FEEL RATHER SPIRITUAL...IT WAS ABOUT A BABY COLT, JUST HAVING BEEN BORN AND SEEKING THE PROTECTION AND OBVIOUS LOVE OF IT'S MOTHER WHO SEEMED TO IMPART THAT TO HER BABY IN THE PICTURE...IT WAS THE WORDS THAT ACCOMPANIED THE PICTURE THAT MADE ME THINK OF MY SISTER FAYE WHOSE 82nd BIRTHDAY IS TODAY.
MY MIND READ THE LINES, AND I SEEMED TO REGRESS BACK ALMOST 70 YEARS AGO...THAT WAS BEFORE OUR FAMILY WAS TORN ASUNDER.... WE AS CHILDREN WOULD SING OLD MC DONALD HAD A FARM...THERE WERE 6 OF US AND PROBABLY ALWAYS ACCOMPANIED BY OUR MOTHER AND THE SONG WOULD GO ON AND ON.... NOISLY MAKING THE SOUNDS OF PIGS, HORSES, MULES, CHICKENS, GEESE.....JUST LAST MONTH MY WIFE AND I WENT BACK TO IOWA TO VISIT FAYE WHO HAD LOST HER HUSBAND JACK ONLY DAYS BEFORE...SISTER FAYE, IN THE THROES OF SEVERE DEMENTIA AND THOSE ONCE BEAUTIFUL BLUE EYES AS VACANT AND SEEMINGLY SIGHTLESS, AS BLUE BUTTONS SEWN ONTO THE FACE OF A TEDDY BEAR. THEN, LESS THAN A MONTH LATER, TO LOOSE SISTER FLORENCE (VICKY) AFTER SHE HAD LINGERED FOR YEARS IN THE CRUEL GRASP OF ALZHIEMERS...HERE ARE THE WORDS ACCOMPANYING THAT HEART GRABBING PICTURE OF THE BABY COLT AND IT'S MOTHER CUDDLING:

" To love a person is to learn the song that is in their heart ,

and to sing it to them when they have forgotten " .
