"That Sunday, That Summer"

"That Sunday, That Summer" is one of my favorite songs. It reminds me of Ben ( even though we met on a Saturday in the Spring of '08 ). Must have everything to do with the words contained in the song. "...If I had to choose one moment to live within my heart, it would be that tender moment recalling how we started, darling it would be, when you smiled at me...". Ah...romance.

I get so caught up in being happy spending time with Ben that I sometimes forget to thank my friends for their words of encouragement, funny remarks or big hugs. So, here and now I say thank you to all who have been so kind to me, either in written form or in person. Ain't it grand to have friends? If two years ago someone would have told lonely, sad 'ole me that I would find a network of friends who would lend a shoulder to cry on or laugh right out loud with me, I would have never believe him/her. I would have thought it wishful thinking at best. But here y'all are! Lucky me.

Now lucky me will be away from y'all for the better part of two weeks. Oh how I'll miss your smiling faces. I certainly can't make ya behave while I'm gone...hell's bells...I don't think some of you can behave! (I know, that includes me!) lol Just please take good care of yourselves. I've been a patient advocate in the past but I certainly don't want to return from traveling only to have to nurse ya back to good health. Hug each other, smile, iggy if you must and laugh out loud often!

On his birthday, Ben and I will be flying to London. We are taking a cruise. It all starts that Sunday, that summer...







The positive is there. Sometimes it's just hard to find.

Hi Red: I'm so happy for you and Ben and you sure make a cute couple. Please wear your life preservers on your cruise, as I keep hearing about people going overboard. Have fun and we'll be here when you get back. Bijou xoxo

P.S. Does Ben have any cute brothers? HaHa

Hi Bijou ~~ Thanks! I'll remember to wear the life preserver...I didn't know that people really fall overboard. ( Honest -- I didn't know...I don't know anything 'bout cruise ships. Ben laughed out loud when I thought a cruise ship was the size of a pleasure boat I pointed to the other day! - Duh! What do I know?? LOL )

Sorry but Ben has no brothers. The majority of his family is still in India (except his daughters & grandson). But he does have friends...lots of doctor friends in the US and Canada!

Hi Blue ~~ Thanks! I thought you were going to use the line "...How could you leave and not take me..." from the song. (And, I think the Mamas and The Papas wouldn't mind)!

Dicey ~~ Thanks! Ours is such a happy story -- with a relationship that started right here at SFF. Ben didn't find me in another Country but it was amazing how often our paths must have crossed in the two years before we met each other. Yours sounds like a happy story also!
