Good memory on the weekend. W...Thank you, Trisha. <br /><br />Good memory on the weekend. What I remember was the love which surrounded the family that day. <br /><br />My parents' courtship was in wartime, when events are so momentous that individual philosophical differences are properly prioritized below other considerations. <br /><br />Each was serious in their politics. The family seasons alternating between arguments and silent treatment. That took its toll on family relationships, In the end, their arrangement was not so much one of continued love as it was duty and honor. It would not be everyone's decision, but mother made peace with that.

I for one can't imagine a marriage between a liberal Dem and a conservative "R" but I can imagine if politics isn't the center of the conservation then love will out.<br /><br />I seem to recall that your mother's memorial service was on or near Memorial Day?<br /><br />Lovely story about the bamboo pole and the flag.<br /><br />I enjoyed it all!<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />XO TrishaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
