My favorite book as a child was this AWESOME Golden book called "Tell me Why". Remember those cool little books with the gold spines and the train on the back hard covers? Well, to tell you the truth I had a bunch of FAVORITES...but this was one of my favorites. Anyway, back to my post. TELL ME WHY. Tell me mother tell me why, why do the birds stay in the sky? Why are grown up people tall, while Jane and John and I are small. (do you remember this book?)

Tell me why are all my friend FAR AWAY? I called up a customer today and got to chatting. Heck we chatted like FOREVER! We had so much in common! We live FOREVER apart! I live in TN and she lives in VIRGINA! Now, if she lived closer we would be like at each others houses ALL THE TIME! We have soooo much in common! Right?!?! Rebecca! GOSH! I have a friend that lives across town and we NEVER can get together! yeah across town. WHY can't we get together? TELL ME WHY! Maybe it is for the better...then we would still love each others company when we do get together!

Oh yes! I do remember this book! It is one of my favorites, too & one of my favorites to read to you all! Thanks for giving me a "happy memory moment"!
And I thought 'I' was the meanest momma in the world! Well, I think I was whenever one of you would reach your teen years, at least.
We had a framed poem in the store that was titled The Meanest MOther or something like that. It was really neat! I wonder if you could find it on line. But, it would make a good t-shirt/sweat-shirt!!!
Hi, I loved that story and think I might just know that person that lives so close but seems so distant. She is still here and loves you more than you know. She is trying really hard to do better. Give her a chance to catch her breath and she'll be back. She has always loved you and misses you dearly. You did nothing wrong. Sometimes time takes us to a distant corner and it takes a little while to get back on track. I am sure "that friend" that I think I know so well is wanting to get together more than you can imagine. I know she prays about it everyday. Remember you are in her heart and always will be. She is reminded everyday how very short and precious life is and misses you dearly. I think I know that friend, and I think it just may be me. If not, all the same, I need to get myself together and see you lots more than I do. I love you so much and miss our talks and visits.
