Oh, it was better than ever...the hilarious vanilla yogurt thoughts will find me heading to Patek's Grocery to stock up! That was so very funny...thanks for a great laugh. And then here came the swinging doors and I really started paying attention. I admire your honesty, your grit and bravery at going to your aunt's funeral and how poignantly you captured those feelings of separation. But then came special remembrances of running through your grandma's sheets hanging on the line...your remembering her scent. Oh, my...this was a delight for all my senses, for I could just see you there as a carefree child. And now it looks as though the doors are opening again for you and your cousin, Desi. Indeed, as you said, doors do open both ways, if we're willing to take the risk.BThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01380696948179481717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107737623514518595.post-45805046537599426852012-08-02T10:17:48.182-07:002012-08-02T10:17:48.182-07:00oooh, i LOVE this! the Door, so poetically writte...oooh, i LOVE this! the Door, so poetically written and makes us all think that yes- the door can be closed or opened from both sides. beautifully said!Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089264962346667633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107737623514518595.post-49805938666815146732012-08-01T17:02:56.285-07:002012-08-01T17:02:56.285-07:00WOW!

But I was very moved about your posting 'findings'; I can't tell you how happy I am that you came to my mom's memorial and reconnected with all of us. I hope you know that I never meant to ever 'shut' the door on you, but more than likey forgot to look through the opening and seek you out. I have such fond memories of goofing around too and no amount of time can change that. I always remember you being so fun - we really just lost touch, but you were never forgotten. Time goes by too fast! I'm looking forward to keeping in touch with you and making new memories now that we are older and wiser!Desinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107737623514518595.post-91899806247370397072012-08-01T15:41:21.902-07:002012-08-01T15:41:21.902-07:00So what happened??!

I have always been thankful that I was born in the U.S. and CA, a woman, white, and to a loving family. I have been fortunate that I have had more open than closed doors.Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04218252806649608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107737623514518595.post-55777125636516560532012-08-01T13:22:09.000-07:002012-08-01T13:22:09.000-07:00Beautiful Val, this resonates with me todayBeautiful Val, this resonates with me todayMs. Blanchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09549116187992063295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107737623514518595.post-10880706071237560032012-08-01T13:08:55.994-07:002012-08-01T13:08:55.994-07:00I loved this stroll and walking through a few door...I loved this stroll and walking through a few doors with you Val.

Truly! Your style is so satisfying to me as a reader, just as seeing a great photo of Frida. I"m glad our doors opened to one another again after so many long years. : ) And, yes, like your opening quote states; "She pushes you to look inside yourself, and almost always, make you laugh out loud." That's a fact!Venusriseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09637639306785606250noreply@blogger.com
