I wonder how my friend, Debbie, is really feeling today? Her sailor hubby, Rick, passed away on Christmas from a brain tumor and, while it was expected, I know it has to be so hard. But she says that she's at peace because she knows that he's at peace. I believe her.

I wonder that she'd asked all of her 'old friends' to write her to give her something else to think about. I wrote her every day just to tell her the funny little things that happen...like when my hubby and I got separated in the grocery store and I was preoccupied with all the cases of ice cream. I felt a man standing beside me and, assuming it was MY hubby, said, "Honey, what do you think of this one?" and this beautiful voice answered, "Well, if you like it, we can get it." and when I turned, the beautiful voice belonged to a beautiful man.....all I could do, at that point was laugh, blush and apologize!!! He, too, laughed! And said that too many choices frustrated him, also!

I wonder how Debbie's children will take all of this; they're younger than my son. And I think that he'd have a horrible time losing his dad. Our little family has just begun to get close again....we've had too much loss.

I wonder what I can do to help her? She lives so far away; there's no chance that I'll see her again. I suppose I'll just continue to write to her.

I wonder that I wish that no one had to lose anyone over holidays. It seems so unfair anytime, but especially so during times when the majority of people are happy....yet I know she'll go on for her grandkids. We're the generation that puts everyone else ahead of ourselves....we 'put on the happy face' for everyone to make them happy.

Just keep writing her Hippiechick - FOREVER!

I wonder why some words just leap off the page and stick to you...

"We're the generation that puts everyone else ahead of ourselves....we 'put on the happy face' for everyone to make them happy."

I wonder about something DMACK said..."You're my endless regret"
That pretty much says it all.

I wonder how nice it was to see Blue back...you have been missed dearheart.

I wonder how ginnie is...we LOVED that corn dish..had some last night finally!

I wonder if Lara finished planting...

I wonder if Addy had fun with her friends.

I wonder about a lot of things.

I wonder how cool it was to be on Facebook with Ducky, Alffe, Doody and BB at the same time yesterday!! It was almost as if we were all together in the same living room ... having a chat over a cup of tea!

I wonder at how blessed we all are to have this connection here.

I wonder if knows how happy I am when I see her here... and I hope she knows she is NOT alone when it comes to our feelings... I've gone through some really rough stuff lately... and have come up again... afloat and doing well.... you will too ((((BlueMajo))))!

I wonder about lots of things right now... and more than wonder, I hope that we all have a blessed, happy 2012! We all deserve that!

I wonder if everybody in this forum know how much I love them

Does anyone here, wonder, anymore???

Phyllis

I wonder if I can say that to stop wondering for me would be like not being alive. I wonder all the time and can't imagine life without wondering. I just don't always have time or am able for whatever reason to type my wonders on a computer. lol

I wonder about mr alffe...

I wonder about BlueMayo and thank her. You're very cared about here dear friend.

I also wonder about my dear old neighbour friend who is doing so poorly all of a sudden.

I wonder how I still am freaked out by the funeral van outside my front patio and especialy lately here in my area with some horrible tragedies. I'm not sure despite the gate and the fence that I can keep saying it's all better. It's not, because I hear and see the van going in and out on-call/ day and night and then I watch or read the news and I know where he is or has been. ugh I tell you, having a situation like this is a weird learning curve.

I wonder that I've been pretty quiet lately. Been busy but about to get extra busy, because I'm so concerned about my dear old neighbour friend in her 90s who had a cataract removed just before xmas and she's totally changed. She's taking a drug called Warfarin for other issues and since the surgery she's had many complications and this stoic wonderful woman is now not able to do very much at all and I fear this so-called simple eye operation might be her downfall.

I wonder that I am going to try to spend more time with her. She told me a few hours ago that she'd left the oven on by accident the other night because she can't see the dials on her oven anymore and she only knew it was still on because she felt the heat. UGH She couldn't call me because she can't see the numbers in her phonebook or even on her phone. I just helped her call her brother in South Africa by dialing for her. She's been trying to get someone to do that for her for weeks. UGH

I wonder that I just phoned her daughter-in-law and expressed my concerns about her mum-in-law being alone in a huge house and garden etc. etc.. I'll cook her dinner from now on. If my vertigo is so bad I can't get across the cul-de-sac then I'll call a neighbour to take it over to her or I'll even struggle to my car and drive up to her garage where it's level ground. I figure I might even try to do some of the things she enjoys with her. She loves to sew for her great grandchildren, so now she can't see, maybe she can just give me directions and I'll sew for her.

I wonder if you would all send me some positive thoughts for my own health and strength so I can help this wonderful woman who's seen almost a whole century and has so many tales to tell and calls me a "lovely little girl". I'm very tall... not little. I'm heading to 60... not young. To hear someone call me a lovely little girl is really sweet and heartbreaking at the same time.



Sorry for the selfish ramble.

I wonder how grateful I am that there are people in this world like you dear Lara....not selfish but selfless! So proud to call you my friend but you are so much more.

I wonder how grateful I am that our oldest daughter arrived yesterday and has already made us laugh several times...which we much needed to do.

I wonder how Barbo puts up with me sometimes...not just her but anyone within my "firing" range..

I wonder if I'll calm down after Mr.Alffe's surgery today and recovery period..

I wonder if my dr. will put me back on aricept when I see her or just increase my "calming" pill and see what happens...

I wonder how much I appreciate all of your support. I do love you all dearly.

I wonder if anyone has heard from Alffe on how today was

I was just saying the same thing to Rick..... "wondering" how Mr Alffe was doing.....
