Children

Children keep us in check.

Their laughter prevents our hearts from hardening.
Their dreams ensure we never lose our drive to make ours a better world. They are the greatest disciplinarians known to mankind.
-- Queen Rania of Jordan

Pearly Whites

As Emma raced to the bathroom to get Gamma's teeth, I scrambled out of the lazy boy in order to be a close second in the race to the sink. Emma is fascinated with my dentures and loves to check them out to see if they'll fit in my mouth. Her mouth opens wide, clinches top and bottom rows of teeth together mirroring me as I slip my pearly whites in my mouth.

It brought back memories of when my sister, Nancy, would pinch my jaw and pop my dentures out as I was getting ready for my date. She'd take off like a rocket and hold them hostage as I awaited my date to pick me up. Of course, she'd be Miss Congeniality getting the door as I was frantically searching for my teeth!

Life Is Short

...a friend sent this to me...

They say it takes a minute
to find a special person,
an hour to appreciate them,
a day to love them
but an entire life
to forget them.
