Even if we had to keep the country bus driver waiting. She said, "You just never know what might happen today." <br /><br />If Dad were home, he, too, was kissed and wished "Good-bye."<br /><br />I think Mom was helping both my brother and me realize that life is fleeting and unexpected. I've tried never to forget this.<br /><br />Peace.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612299013780771262noreply@blogger.com
