But I understood everything when I gave birth to my child. I am proud to be my mother!! Becky is very happy to have mom like you.<br />But I smiled many times imagining two women coloring a book in a car at night.<br />Stay young at heart!! Thanks a lot for telling us such a great story!!<br />keikosnowwhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04224433823476591538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5360757619687420080.post-47468268286423237972012-04-17T17:59:38.230-06:002012-04-17T17:59:38.230-06:00Wonderful story!

So Beautiful!<br /><br />Jill, I cannot imagine shunning anyone, yet I understand how you feel. I've had it done to me before and it is a very sad thing to go through. I can't imagine it because you are such a blessing to know!<br /><br />I love your writing, your photos, and this was a lovely write up of her night, your night with a good friend, and finely home.<br /><br />I "remember when", too! My Sweetie and I do that all the time!

So much fun to be with a friend and to color! My mom was always gold too when she was older. She would be anything around her to keep warm. <br /><br />Yes when our parents die we lose the insulation from being old. You wake up one day and you realize your old - that you have fewer years to go then where you've come.<br /><br />But it is okay. Growing old is not for sissies. And we are strong women - judging from our pasts. <br /><br />Love, sandieChatty Cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232040517217024681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5360757619687420080.post-63273162692928775232012-04-16T12:11:09.706-06:002012-04-16T12:11:09.706-06:00Isn't this what friendship is all about?

It's a small community that involves many different things....including other parents. All the events are the same, etc. You are not old. Everyday I work with teenagers I laugh. They haven't changed much over the years, but we do. Our tolerance becomes less for stupidity and their immortal attitudes:) And then I realize...they lack knowledge and experience and I can accept them for short periods of time:) Loved your story:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5360757619687420080.post-80695045983965642322012-04-16T11:19:17.522-06:002012-04-16T11:19:17.522-06:00I have stacks of coloring books in my house, I cou...I have stacks of coloring books in my house, I could've sent you some for your stakeout, ha ha.
