Your Life Lives on
by Ann M Lindaman Spring is here, which reminds me of you
Your spirit is with us; oh I know I'm not wrong
In some respects I know you're still with us...
Ya vas lubem,
I hope you enjoy Ella Fitzgerald's rendition of "God Will Take Care of You." Recently one of my uncles sent a video of a family singing this song and as we all discovered, we remembered Grandma singing it. I was amazed when I found myself singing along and then I remembered Grandma singing it with her beautiful heavy Slavic accent. Such a kind and beautiful soul. She used to sing to us a lot. "You are my Sunshine" is what I recall most, but she was always singing. I sure miss her but I feel her all around me.These quotes and Bible verses remind me of her.
Start some kind words on their travels. Who knows where the good it will do may stop? I have told you this so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your cup of joy will over flow. (John 15:11 TLB)
There are two ways to live. One is though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. (Albert Einstein)
Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many. Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. (Psalm 90:12 NIV)
Difficulties meet us at every turn. They are an accompaniment of life. Out of pain grow violets of patience and sweetness. The richness of human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome. (Helen Keller)
If you judge people, you have no time to love them. (Mother Teresa)
Be beautiful inside, in your hearts, with the lasting charm of a gentle and quiet spirit which is so precious to God. (Peter 3:4 TLB)

But so does summer, winter and autumn too.
I miss your laugh, your voice and tender ways
I miss our talks, your touch... each and every day.
For I hear your voice in every birds song.
I feel your touch in the warm summer sun...
You're in generations left when your day was done.
And we're still so proud at all you accomplished.
Although ten years have come and gone
Moja draha stara mama; your life lives on.
Aniska
