Today is Monday, May 3rd, 2004; Karen's Korner #286

Today is my birthday and I am looking forward to spending time with a couple of different groups of friends! Also worthy of note is the fact that Sunday is Mother's Day...a worthy profession for many of us!!

 

I have several good "moms" writings which I have been hanging on to, just for this week!

 

Today's is written by my mother-in-law and Jamie and Merry's grandma, Addie Weld. A couple of weeks ago, Jim and I were pawing through some boxes of photos looking for specific photos for one of our two family reunions coming up this summer. We came upon a notebook of some "diary thoughts" over a span of a number of years written by Addie. There is only one thing worse than reading someone's diary:  reading it after they have passed away!

 

I hope that you enjoy it! I really like it:

 

 

This is something that she wrote on May 20, 1977:

 

 

Just talked with Jamie on the phone. She has only five days of school left. I asked her how she felt about having only five more days of school and she wouldn't be in kindergarten ever again.

 

"Oh-h-h!! I feel good about it, Grandma The pool opens the day after that!" she said.

 

My prayer:  "Please, God, may there always be a 'pool that opens' after each phase of her life has past. May 'that pool' be filled with more wonders and good living experiences for our special Jamie.........as well as all Jamies of the world!"
