There is a time where we want to pick up the phone or drive over to see the folks, then go......

I can't.

But you keep them in your heart and they are always there to answer even the hardest problem.

I find that when I am bothered by a problem I stop and ask out loud-I have to be careful because it happens when I am outside and wonder about the neighbors lurking around- and I know I won't get an answer back, but in my heart and head something clatters around and I get an answer.

It may not be a direct answer from mom or dad-it's all their hard work in helping us grow up that must be voice we hear.


And in the end?

I will be doing something that makes me think about one or the other and I start to laugh. I know what they would do in that situation.

And I just have to go along with that. After all, the more we try to separate ourselves from them, the more we follow their lead.

Now I just have to learn to like beets!
