It's a sad day between Vegas and now Tom Petty has past away . Life is short be sure to tell your family you love them. Be kind to each other. My heart is broken because of all the violence in the world this is not how it is supposed be we should be taking care of each other. .

The sacrifices we make just to take care of our family

On Bravo and my walk to the city launch, we saw a crowd, with three police vehicles, across the street. Seems a 16 YO girl has been missing since early today. No special issues that would place her at special risk, as if being a teen these days isn't enough. Parents frantic. Neiborhood and police knocking on doors. Prayers. Aa.

Just had a fun exhausting night with my sister-in-laws and kids. This evening is the last day of Ramadan and I didn't get to share "iftar" with them due to busy work schedule so I decided to invite everyone to have Iftar at my place. Lots of cooking and baking...foods turned out great 6 adults and 7 teenagers including my ex=husband and his wife came over. Luckily I was done with all the cooking and baking when they arrived. Haven't seen them for some time and all were very happy to come see me. I'm the favorite aunt for all the kids so we had lots of fun dancing in between desserts Every kid had a turn dancing with me, I'm exhausted! I'm pretty close to my in-laws and I'm always part of the family even after the divorce, they are always there for me whenever I need help and I'm so happy to keep it that way

Family members who stand by each other are rare to find. I'm lucky to have them and will always treasure them

I hope you're all having a fun weekend too

and HAPPY EID to all those who celebrate

Getting ready to fire up the Swedish chariot and head down to Beantown with Bravo as navigator and resident chick magnet. Four hour trip. As always, will multitask. Visiting aging mom, and taking the family women folk, who are thereabouts on vacation, for a meal and a little Fado music, at one of the region's delightful Portuguese restaurants. Will also do a litle sniffing in Boston central with Bravo. Oh, all those young coeds. But as I watch mother's life systems slowly fade, one by one, the existential truths we all face hit hard. Now bed bound, but still fully alert and remaining in her own home, with excellent family and visiting nursing help, ---closing in on a full 90 years could be much worse. When Dad left us years ago, we all knew that, as with so many 60 year unions, when one goes, the other seems to want to follow. Hope she doesn't wind up where HE may well be. Of course, I could easily be there meself someday. Aa.

....I wake up in the early hours feeling lonely...its rare but when I do it turns my stomach..this morning is one of those days..

I saw a beautiful pair of twins.. little girls today. I mentioned I have a pair of twins, female too but both are already grown. I remember when they were much younger,like 8 years old, several occasions, they'd have the same dreams, say complete sentences at the same time, for example "Let's go outside and play, or Mom can we have some cookies?. They would also end up in the same exact, position even if one was left sleeping apart in another room, or farther away from the other as my mom would help or a family member in putting them to sleep when it's bed time. I remember once my mom was at the foot of the bed with Melissa in her arms and I was with Melanie.. We both went to sleep and about half hour later I woke up and notice Melissa moving.. Slightly.. Away form my mom, I kept watching and as the minutes went by, both keep moving away slightly until both are together in the middle of the bed and holding hands or in identical positions. I don't understand it all and I although I would want to.. I KEEP THOSE SPECIAL MEMORIES ALWAYS and know that yes they are indeed unique and special.
