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!

Happy Monday, Billie.
Great to see you today.
Thank you for today's beautiful Graphic with the lyrics
and also for the link to the music.

When I get one day behind, it seems I never catch up.
I'm always afraid I will miss responding to someone. :)

I appreciate all of the wonderful Openings that you make for Amy's Place.

I'm stopping by for a quick HI before I return to the McCAIN-PALIN campaign office and get my assignment for the day:). Last night, they had to throw us die-hards out!! LOL.

Will try to check in as I can!
