My Parents Love; And How They Saved Me
My Parents Love; And How They Saved MeAuthor: scott weilerSwinging on a swing under a thick branch, sheltered by the shady old maple tree in the back yard. A good memory from when I was young girl. A very good one. My father would push me for as long as I wanted and he never seemed to tire of it. When I think back now, I know he must of had so many things that needed to be done, he worked as a union representative in a steel mill, yet that didn't prevent him from taking the time to push me on that swing. I have pictures of that, him and me and that old swing.
Mom would bring us lemonade and fruit slices. I had an old blanket that I used as a picnic blanket. It had a picture of Mickey and Minnie Mouse dancing on a shooting star while fire works exploded in the back of them. The three of us would stretch out on my blanket and eat the fruit, drink the lemonade and find animals in the clouds. I loved those afternoons. I was the only child and I never suffered from lack of attention or love. I grew up in Farrell, Pennsylvania.
Our house was not the biggest but it held more love then one might think those walls could handle. That is what makes it so hard to look at them now...my parents that is.

New 10 of the Month -- Justice Sonia SotomayorNew 10 of the Month -- Justice Sonia SotomayorAuthor: Dawn McIntyreCopyright (c) 2009 Dawn McIntyreThrough my work with women all over the world, I?ve developed what I call The New 10 Paradigm ? a new way to define beauty that celebrates and supports the true, genuine beauty of every woman?s mind, body and spirit. The New 10 is much more than the ?old 10? ? the woman who may have looked perfect on the outside, but didn?t have much going on on the inside. The New 10 is different. She is a woman who radiates beauty both inside and out, no matter what size or shape or race she is.Every month, I want to take the time to honor a woman who I feel exemplifies the true spirit of the New 10. And this month, I?m going to begin with someone who just leapt out at me from the pages of the newspaper and my TV screen. |
