Tide

I'm a relatively smart girl. I know how the tide works. I'm also not a religious girl, but I am spiritual. My dad and mom's cremains were both scattered at sea.

Whenever we go to the beach I always greet them quietly and say a few things. It's just my way, I've done it for 20 years. The tide could be way out and no matter what, when I greet them the tide always seems to come up to me. It always gives me a small comfort, like they are coming up to hug me.

Couldn't have said it better....


There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it. (Edith Wharton)

Life is a banquet... and most poor suckers are starving to death. Live... live..... LIVE!!!!! (Auntie Mame)

A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she is in hot water. (Eleanor Roosevelt)

Be not afraid of growing slowly. Be afraid of standing still. (Chinese proverb)
