I just returned from sunny Florida
where my partner currently lives,
helping with twin babies, her grandchildren,
and enjoying her daughter and Mya.
I woke up with a sinking feeling this morning
my partner is still in Florida and I am back
home in Baltimore, with all my beloved children,
and friends.
I love the sunshine and the beach, sunrises and
sunsets, and walking in the sand; I love warm weather.
Mostly I love the feel of my partners arms around me,
and her smile saying I love you without words.
Life is good and times are tough, we are all helping
each other - get started - get finished, planning to
move on and begin lives with their own families.
Helping to plan our futures whether in career or in
retirement, it's all about love and loving and giving.
Giving time, giving love, giving money, giving warmth.
Giving opportunity for futures, secure and happy and full
of peace and confidence.
I love my home, my home town, my homey girls, my friends.
I love my family - babies and big kids, growing up to
young adulthood. I miss my mom, and sister and I love
my siblings immensely - all of them. We are family.
So I'm back in Baltimore, and my partner lives in Florida.
I miss her, and I await her return with patience and
anticipation - for a new life beginning at 50-something.
...and I am smiling.
