I wonder if I can say a huge Welcome Back to BMW.

I wonder if I can send best wishes from way over here to Twinkletoes for a wonderful holiday.

I wonder if I can say to mistiis that life seems to show us that love and hope are not not always enough... sadly. It's sometimes such a one-sided affair. There are times in people's lives when they can't actually see the hope or love that is offered and even if they do see it, they may not know how to accept it because life is so painful for them physically and emotionally at the time.

well...

I wonder if I can say that I had such hope for a peaceful worldly new year, but sadly the situation in the Middle East has taken a turn for the worse and it's very worrying.

I wonder if I can lastly add that I am feeling pretty empty tonight. I often think of Wish when I think about my mother. We shared a lot in common in some ways. I was only a little girl when my mother died of cancer. I was 4 and she was very young. Anyoldways, I finally found her gravesite a few years ago online when I was searching for family info. It was a relevation indeed! I had gone to live with auntie and uncle and they never spoke about my father or mother so it was almost as if they didn't exist to anyone but me in my head. So, I finally found my mother. I sometimes used to just log in to the cemetary map and as strange as this might sound to you all, it gave me comfort to have finally found her and know where the heck she was after almost 50 YEARS. I just went to the site earlier, 'cause the crisis in the middle east put me in a reflective mood. They've changed the website totally and one can no longer go to specific areas.

I wonder if you know that when my mother actually died, I went searching for her. I was only 4 so I can't even remember her face, but I remember searching for her and I went into the garden and I can see that quite clearly and I saw my mother's face in all the flowers. The garden and gardening give me much comfort still.
