Family Picture From The Past

I'm guessing this picture is about twenty years old. Up in front is my nephew Josh-He was a little boy in the pic, but he graduated from West Point, was a general's aide in Afghanistan and is now medically retired from the service at the age of 25. He is expecting a child with his wife in August, this is their first child.

Above him is his father and my brother Charles. Sadly, he did not get enough of the good looks of the family, he lives in Upstate NY near Albany, watch out if you visit, he is still a smart aleck.

The little boy in the middle is Christopher, he is an Eagle Scout. His mother is in the picture above him. Her name is Charlottee and she is my youngest sister. Charlottee lives in Syracuse where she stays just far enough away from the family to make her comfortable.

I am the dude with the mustache. I used to sport one when I was younger and dumber. Now I am a married man with three beautiful children, I was the only smart child who moved out of NY and to Florida. I love the warm weather.

The lady next to me is my older sister Ellen. She is a mother and grandmother. Yes, she is old and she knows it. She takes care of her family and her three year old grandchild Lilliana while her daughter goes to college to become a nurse. Ellen is still stuck in the cold weather of Pulaski, NY. Yes, that is the place where all of the Salmon fishermen come to visit and drive the town crazy while they try to empty the Salmon River of all its Salmon.

What's Better Than A Trellis Filled With Beautiful Roses

Florida is a great place to build a garden. I love roses because they look great and smell beautiful. The aroma of roses reminds me of my late mother because they were her favorite flowers. She would love to go out to the garden and watch the rose bushes as they grew up the trellis. She would pick some of the roses and bring them into the house. I still remember the smell.

I love to go outside and look at our garden trellis when it is filled with beautiful roses. To me they are the most beautiful flowers in the world. I remember one time as a little boy I went into the neighbors garden and picked all of their roses so I could give them to my mother. She smiled, but told me it was wrong to steal roses from the neighbors. I broke one of their trellises and we had to pay for it. I guess it is the thought that counts.

Valentine's Day is one of the most popular days to give roses to your wife or girlfriend. I love roses each and every day because they remind me of the times when my mother would smile the most. I will always remember how roses made my mother happy.

Depression (Haiku)

The Teardrops Become
A Puddle of Memories
Slowly Drifting By.....

I Remember

I sit down beside you
and I wonder if you remember
all the time
we have spent together

I stand here
looking at you
and I wonder if you see me
when you look my way

I walk with you
side by side
and I wonder if you remember
all the miles we have travelled together

I sit down beside you
and wonder if you remember
all the time
we have spent together......

I stand there
looking up into your eyes
as you hang from the cross
and I wonder where was I
when you needed me most

I bow my head
and fall on to my knees
as I remember
