“As they saw his angel face”

A Memorial Day Message
.
They were both there the first time he cried. It was a joyful sound. The sound of life beginning and they waited so long to hear it. Mom and Dad were proud of him as they saw his angel face.He grew to be a young man full of hope and pride. He had dreams and plans for the future. In fact, waiting for him back home was the girl of his dreams. They met at school and just like fairy tales and romance stories this love affair was the kind that was meant to be.
The last time they saw each other they made promises of faithfulness. They talked about the wedding and a dozen or more children of their own. He said “I love you more than anything in this world.” She cried and with tears running softly down her face she said, ” I will wait for you and while we are apart my heart will skip every other beat until your return.” Read More

“People can honor veterans by sending a letter or care package to troops overseas, volunteering at health clinics or taking supplies to a homeless veterans center. It could also mean something as simple as saying “thank you” to a veteran walking by on the street.”

Memorial Day weekend!
Someone sent one of my stories to me without explanation. I read it and felt strongly that it needed to be shared again. This is from 2007 so some of you never saw it before. I write so many
things that when I read it, I didn’t remember it. So, it’s new for me, too.
.
Whatever your plans this weekend, be safe, I need you.
Love always and all ways,
Bob and Marianne

“Love and the joy of hurting”
By Bob Perks
“Do you like what you do?” she asked me.
“I write about happy things,” I said.
“Wait a minute. I’ve read your work. You made me cry sometimes,” she said.
“That makes me happy,” I replied.
