ONE year 2:40 pm Oct 11, 2017

I never thought I could miss anyone so much and yet feel so peaceful in knowing that I loved my mother so deeply and that she loved me as well! I expected I would wake-up today one year to the day she left life as we know it to join the love her life, my […]

Feelings

When Labor Day approaches, we all assume summer is over. However, according to the calendar, the first day of Autumn is not until, September 22nd, giving us 19 more days of summer, despite the chill in the air. If you go by the meteorologist calendar, Fall began two days ago on September 1 and will […]

The Letter

When I saw this posted on Facebook I realized – this may have been written through the eyes and heart of a child, a spouse, or even a parent. The letter speaks to all who have loved and lost and feel grief for a lifetime. However, with grief we too must continue to journey on, […]

It Could B Me Gary

It could have been me if my theory is correct, 75 years ago I pushed you out first. If I had not done that remarkable thing, you would not have been the first born, no siree. But today is your day to celebrate ¾ of a century and to be the oldest of us three, […]

27 It’s Alex’s Birthday

Twenty-seven years ago, at this time, I was in the final stages of labor.  A baby boy that we had dubbed, Bart, was soon to emerge “Into the Light” and be officially named, Alexander Edwin Hale.  With Richard on my left, my wonderfully supportive mother-in-law, Loretta in the birthing room, and Stanley Pollack, MD taking […]

Momma – I’m Finally LEARNING

When will I learn? My husband means well when he plans a vacation or get-a-way, but they always end up with complications and something that is not the expectation either one of us envisioned. However, our best-unplanned trips were to Niagara Falls, Canada even if he chose a Hotel/Motel that did not meet my specifications. […]

Happy 76 Years (This one in Heaven)

76 years ago, today my parents, Jay Harmon Moss and Dorothy DVasha Freedman join their lives together in marriage. They were married in a simple ceremony at the home of my mother’s sister Anne Jaffe’s, as Anne and her husband Ben kept a kosher home. It was essential to have a kosher reception as both […]
