Tuesday...Bye Daddy...

he passed away last Saturday morning...Actually that's a relief, he had a stroke a few days ago and was completely paralysed...and anyway he was 87 and had a long loving life with Mum...as you are my friends I can tell you my last souvenir...last time I saw him was in July...Thomas was at home for a few days so he could stay with hubby...mum had just left the hospital and was very tired...I helped her undress...Dad arrived and said: Oh I could have done it ! he quickly quickly undress and ran all naked to get his pyjamas , ran to the bed, took mum in his arms and said: "that's better"...that was the last time i saw him, the following morning I had to leave very early and didn't want to wake him up...63 years of a marriage (1945/2008), with ups and downs and 6 children, little money...but such great love...and they were so beautiful the two of them...Mum is very tired...bound to be...

so Saturday morning after my sister's phone-call I went to my room and made an "altered book..."my first one, to evocate a bit my parents'life...

just to say they grew up, loved each other, educated children, and did their best...that's what we all do, don't we ?at least we try...so the pictures are in Sarah's blog...just click HERE...

see you my sweethearts, take care...

and what do we remember ? love, tenderness and cherries, the flavour of cherries...

poems...

And please, visit your English friend Old-woman, she's back in a new decor...

that's all for Today, see you next next week my friends !...

Olympic games

Olympic games could be so nice, so beautiful...if there was no flags, no banners...just young boys and girls from free countries trying to be the best one just for the pleasure of enjoying themselves...On Sarah's blog, Old woman watched Tv and saw what they called The games, then she saw the sacred mountain of Tibet, and felt sad for these people...she tried to make a new dream-catcher and spent the night, meditating...
but in the morning the dream catchers had caught sad pictures from all over the world...
so Old woman kneeled down and cried...
