You Are That Man!

I say it's over,
But how do I say goodbye
When you are the man that I love
And can't live without?

You are that man who stops my world,
Who quiets every noise around me,
Who makes me stand still in time, 
And cherish each moment
Spent by your side.

You are that man who stole my heart
And soul combined.
You are my pleasure and my pain,
The one who holds the balance
To my scale.

You are that man who inspires in me
Love and hate,
For you are the source of my extremities.
You live in my conscious and subconscious
Because you are that man I can't forget.

You are that man who turns me inside out
And makes me weak, to my disdain.
You simply are that love I was meant to live,
Even if in the end,
Fate didn't choose me.

Oh wow, this is great Annie.

I love it too and wish I had the imagination to write poetry as she does.

Do you remember putting a penny in your shoe?

 
Eastcoast I actually have a pair of "penny loafers" that my In laws gave me for one Christmas when I was first married. I have kept the safe because they don't make them like that any more...I love those shoes"

I do remember them and the saddle shoes too although the saddle shoes were a little before my time. 
 

 
We weren't allowed to wear these in Catholic school. Bummer.

Guys can someone hold my hand tonight...I can't stay on but after taking my daughter for a recheck to see why she was still coughing they found a mass in her chest and now she is in the ICU at the children's hospital and they are saying its cancer.....how does a perfectly healthy kid get cancer that quickly....I have to go but I wanted to let you guys know why I might not be here much...she is having a chest tube put in tomorrow and possibly a biopsy if the fluid from her lung doesn't have enough cells in it to tell what kind it is.....I just so don't get it she was fine other than the cough she had that they thought was an upper respiratory infection

Oh, April, I am here to hold your hand. I know you must be terrified; nothing is worse than having your child be ill. Hang in there and know that ALL your sisters will be praying for you and your daughter. Praying for encouraging news and for you to have the courage to deal with this challenge, and I know you will. Much love to you and your entire family. No matter what we discuss on this board, it's something like this that puts things in  perspective and teach us what really matters. Stay positive if possible; there is so much they can do now and they don't yet know what it really is. 
 

Too close for comfort.  I have to say that I have had deer in my front yard but never at my window. 

As I am about to turn in, please know april that you and your daughter were in my thoughts all day.  Lets hold hands as we all anxiously wait for test results.  Sending you much love and strength  xox
