When my son was married (in a wedding celebrating all the Jewish traditions), this was the song that was played when he and I danced together, alone on the ballroom floor, at their reception. I did fine, until I heard the words, “When did he grow to be so tall?”

I looked up at this 6’1” handsome man, now married, and the tears started.

And, they started again, this morning, nearly fifteen years later, as I relived that moment. Thank you, Amy and Billie.

Now you're going to get me started. It's a beautiful song - the words I never really paid a lot of attention to, until the melody was going around in my head as I 'did' this beautiful sunrise/sunset graphic for today's welcome (which OESY posted some time ago - the absolute most beautiful sunrise/sunset I have EVER seen!) I like to 'see' the lyrics and I hear the music.

Thank you, yorkie. I'm glad the music touched you and brought back beautiful memories of your son's wedding.

I have not been here since Wednesday, and there are so many pings and posts I just can't catch up with, but, Amy, Lori and Meg, I ALWAYS love the opening posts each day and seeing the holiday posts! Those I will always check out. :)

OESY, I see you are back, and we have missed you. I know you have many lonely days and nights still ahead, and especially with the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season almost upon us.

Dolly, I read that you broke your wrist, and hope that the pain is beginning to be less intense. I can fully understand that pain - breaking mine about three years ago. (mine was my left wrist, and being left-handed, learning to 'write a check' with my right hand was pretty awkward - have never seen such scribble!)

jaycee! I saw some very pretty graphics you posted with TABLE borders! YAY!!! Just keep practicing - you may not know what or why it works, but just keep doing it! You'll get there - right, Meg? :)

Hugs to ALL of you!

Mondays are always busy!

Oh Yorkie.

Thank you for sharing your special memories with us.

Like Billie, I had never paid much attention to the lyrics until I posted them today.

Hugs
