Love easily confuses us because it is always in flux between illusion and substance, between memory and wish, between contentment and need.

"I Am Always Remembering..."
When I visit today for the 21st Mother's Day since she left us, I'll remember that day in May of 2007 when the beloved one stood beside me as I honored she who gave me life and taught me the truth of love.
I am always remembering....
And my greatest fear is that I may not live long enough to forget.
"Fear Eats the Soul"
Epilogue
It was a lovely day and the cemetery as well manicured for the busiest day of the year there. When we return on Memorial Day, I'll have to bring some car wax to polish Mom and Dad's memorials. And yes, although I was there with Husband, I was remembering that day in 2007.

"The Bitter Truth..."
I'm not sure why the middle panel needed to leave America, just ask George Takei. George and his family and many thousands of others Japanese Americans were forced to sell their property and were interned in the America's own segregation concentration camps during WWII.
We Americans do love to believe that we're "exceptional"
And maybe we are we do tend to lead the world in evil things...
The Germans learned that you can round up, evict and exterminate people on the grounds of "manifest destiny"
The South Africans learned from the American South that indeed a white minority can subjugate and virtually enslave a majority as long as you don't call it "slavery"
I wonder who's watching our lessons of today?
"A True Love Story..."
"I got engaged under an Allosaurus."
I love dinosaurs and my boyfriend proposed in the dino exhibit at the science museum in front of his family.
We met on a dating app in 2017. We live together in NYC and he proposed this past December.
"He's genuinely the most amazing person I've ever met."
"I Am Always Remembering..."
Yep, I'm "before we had color TV" years old...
I distinctly remember the excitement in our home when the first color television came through the door. Of course, I knew color television existed, but you only saw it when you'd visit a store with your parents. I remember being mesmerized by the vibrant colors of 15 to 20 televisions on the wall display at Sears showing clips from "The Wonderful World of Disney." Of course that was clever marketing by Sears to put children to work pestering their parents for color televisions. It didn't work on my dad though, he'd always let us stop and look, and he'd admire them too, but when he'd look at the prices he'd always say, "Not yet, too dear." So in our house, it didn't work until 1974 when finally a 19 inch Panasonic import sold by Sears took up residence in our breakfast room. That so called "portable television" was huge and heavy, but it had a great color picture. Saturday morning cartoons were never better!
Three years later, all our dreams came true when my Mother who was accompanying my oldest sister on a shopping trip to buy her own color TV (she'd moved out and was living on her own some years before) asked the salesman at Highland Appliance, what discount will we get for two? The next day, we came home from school to find a 25 inch Quasar console had taken the place in our den of the old Sears Silvertone 20 inch B&W that was bought a few years before I was born.
This old magazine advert reminded me of my dad. He was born before radio became a thing and he marveled like everyone else when it morphed into television after he returned from WWII. Dad was not a big television watcher, but he loved Star Trek TOS. Some of my fondest memories of dad are of just us two sitting at the breakfast room table together on a rare Saturday evening when he didn't have to work and us watching Captain Kirk and crew "go where no man has gone before" and surprisingly always finding someone there.
I am always remembering...

"The Truth About Canada..."
The views of my hometown of Detroit, Michigan
from Downtown Windsor, Ontario, Canada
Detroit and Windsor are sisters cities directly across from each other on the Detroit River which forms a part of the border between the U.S. and Canada. The U.S - Canada border is the longest undefended border in the world, and Detroit - Windsor is its busiest crossing point between our two nations. Our two cities are connected by a bridge and two of the world's first and oldest underwater tunnels linking two nations. Detroit and Windsor are so interconnected that soon a new bridge linking the two and paid for entirely by our neighbor Canada will open to supplement the existing crossings which support the fair and friendly trade between our two nations.
Most folks in Detroit and everywhere else along the border would say that Canadians are our friends, neighbors and work colleagues. They are a kinder, friendlier, more welcoming version of us, they are not our enemies, they are our staunchest allies, rescuers and defenders in the world. Like many Detroiters, I am proud to call Canadians my friends. I have only admiration, appreciation and the very highest regard for our friends across the river. When we recover from our insanity, I hope they can forgive us. Having known, worked and lived with Canadians, I know they will.
