Greetings to the Adults.

I was at a Funeral Service this evening for a beloved person in my life, and the Rabbi read a beautiful poem. I just wanted to share...

After My Death
by Chaim Bialik

Say this when you mourn for me:

There was a man – and look, he is no more.
He died before his time.
The music of his life suddenly stopped.
A pity! There was another song in him.
Now it is lost
forever.

A great pity! He had a violin,
a living, speaking soul
to which he uttered
the secrets of his heart,
making all its strings vibrate,
save one he kept inviolate.
Back and forth his supple fingers danced,
one string alone remained entranced
still unheard.

A pity!
All its life that string quivered
silently shook,
yearned for its song, its mate,
as a heart saddens before its fate.
Despite delay it waited daily
mutely beseeching its saviour lover
who lingered, loitered, tarried ever,
and did not come.

Great is the pain!
There was a man – and look, he is no more.
The music of his life suddenly stopped.
There was another song in him.
Now it is lost
forever.


I keep thinking about that poem... very moving!

Am heading off on a much-needed and overdue vacation in the morning...

See you in September!

Aloha!

It's raining outside but inside the sun is shining, the sky is blue and all the children are above-average. Or something like that.

Happy Three-Day Weekend!!!!

Goodmorning and happy Labor Day weekend - I am on a 3 day vaca in Chicagoland but I'm worried it is going to be sort of a downer because the wife of the couple we are with is a "little" psycho and I've already heard enough about her toubled life than I want to. I knew this might happen but I thought I could just sort of avoid the topic but easier said than done. Oh well, I'm going to give having fun a good try! Everyone have a great weekend.

Hey there!

Half day of school today so I might actually get some REAL work done this afternoon. Spent the better part of the night counseling a friend whose husband is on the way to prison today (not that I could say much that was comforting), then spent the morning talking my mom "off the ledge". She's once again in the path of a major hurricane on the anniversary weekend of Katrina. All her bad memories are flooding back (yeah, a pun). She's hysterical and thinks she's going to lose her house again. This will be a looooong weekend.

10:30am. Too early to drink?

[shameless]

Posted: 8/29/08 at 10:30am

Yikes! It's never too early in situations like that, Moony.

Maybe mom should consider a nice senior community in Boca.

Happy Friday kiddles!!

Hope you're all behaving!

Those of you at work, you've got my permission to skedaddle and start your weekends. Just print this out and hand it to you boss.

Posted: 8/29/08 at 11:07am

Yeah, I'll be sure to do that, Girly. Right after lunch. The guys are ordering pizza.

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 8/29/08 at 11:11am

mmmm, pizza. I was craving John's pizza the other day. Haven't had it in ages.

Good Morning! Happy Long Weekend!

Addict, the weather is lovely here!

[bwayaddict]

Posted: 8/29/08 at 11:29am

Yes, I wish I could get out and enjoy it!

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 8/29/08 at 11:35am

Addict, just say you want to get out and do some sightseeing!

For some reason, they just decided to rip up the road at the end of my driveway! The noise is unbearable.

[bwayaddict]

Posted: 8/29/08 at 11:44am

Yes, I just said let's go out and explore the neighborhood. Husbands are golfing. I did get online rush seats for Jersey Boys tonight for my husband and I so that will be fun.
