Who have you lost? Today the many family members who have passed on ,some recently, some long, long ago for some reason are with me. It made me want to be meloncholy. Some, I miss and others I wish I knew. Instead of being sad I want to take a moment and remember them with joy. They deserve that. I challenge you friends and family mine.. to do the same.
I REMEMBER:
Watching abbott and castello with Tio Chris till all hours of the morning.
Having a picnic in the bamboo forest behind my house with Tia Nancy and Christina.
Sitting under an umbrella tree on a hot day after school with my friend Danielle.
Painting the living room with Steve.
Discovering that my Abuela Ana could draw beautifully.
Watching Faulty Towers with Grandpa
Holding my puppy Dana all night in the garage the day I got her because she was scared.
Maggie holding me after I had a seizure.
Hearing Mr. Rob explain why his life is like a country song.
I WISH I HAD KNOWN:
My Brother Oliver.. who was beausiful
My Uncle Orlando.. who I would have loved
My great Aunt Doris..who was also and artist
My Grandma Betty.. whose hair I have
My Tia Toli.. who I almost remember
This all started because thirty four years ago today My Brother Oliver Stewart Townshend passed away. My Momma was crying and thats ok. So I cried too. Love to you all. Liv
