April is changeable. with warm temperatures one day, cold the next, rain ,wind, and snow quite often. But it is a pretty month and a pretty name for a girl. I remember singing the song "April Showers" around age 7 when I first heard it. I've sung it ever since. I like the old tunes so much. Here is Judy Garland singing it so beautifully:

I haven't heard of anyone drinking Postum since my great aunt and her husband passed many years ago. It was a staple for them.

Have a blessed and peaceful Palm Sunday!

"By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea...you and me, you and me, oh how happy we'll be..." Not sure where that song came from, but your answers made me think of it. I am very sorry that there really wasn't anyone there for you when you lost your precious daughter. Having lost a dear son, I understand those feelings of people not really understanding what you are going through. People mean well, but unless they have experienced such loss and grief, it is difficult for them to totally understand and sometimes they stay away because they just don't know what to say. People don't realize that sometimes just being there, or just a hug can mean so much. No one ever has all the right answers because there really aren't any. One thing I've learned is that my strength comes from the Lord, and He is the One Who knows all my sorrows and also knows how to comfort me. I rely on Him because He will never fail. Sorry to go off on this subject, but it touched my heart, and I want you to know that I feel your sorrow, even after so many years...and I pray that God will give you the peace and comfort that only He can give. On other notes...you have been such a blessing to many with your artistry and so many other talents. Thank you for sharing them with us. God bless you today with a beautiful day.
