Crown this a glorious feast of earthly fools!’”

I thoroughly resonated with your every word Mary, as I sit here in my old fav’ sweater (at least 20years old)… which is too tatty to wear out, but I lovingly wear around the house… a distant gift from my uncle in High River, Canada, who passed 8 years ago, and I cherish the memories it wraps me with…

That’s wonderful, Ivor! The fact that your ratty seater was a gift from a special uncle makes it worth saving and wearing.

Your article strongly resonates with me and touched my heart… and yes we move on…
“On and On We Go”
every second, a commitment
every breath, a moment
every moment, a feeling
every feeling has a heartbeat
and the beat goes on and on
a soft beat to every step, to and fro
and step by step the moments go
a quest for answers never stops
until our eternal sun drops
