How beautiful.

My favourite one and which i try my best to abide by is:

I shall pass this way but once; any good that I can do or any kindness I can show to any human being; let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.

Strangely enough, my father said as much to me when I was a child. I remember it now, more than 60 years later.

Sadly, as I grew into adulthood the strength of our characters proved to be incompatible. About the only thing that I did and which gained his approval was when I chose journalism as a career; as a fellow wordsmith and a master printer he was a happy man.

But he was a pacifist and a wartime conscientious objector (even though he risked his life every night as a fire watcher in a heavily bombed city) and when I was conscripted into the RAF and decided to extend my service and apply for flying duties he was furious. In one of our last really intimate father-and-son conversations he virtually accused me of wanting to be a murderer.

The years passed by and our relationship continued to be at arms length, in spite of my adoration of my mother. Then he was killed at the age of only 50 in a Christmas Eve road accident in which the other driver was hardly sober enough to remember his own name.

So thanks, Lurker, for a post which has triggered off that long-suppressed reminder of my father and, if truth be known, has made me shed the first tears over my memory of him in many a long year.

Perhaps too long.

Why is he proposing to her in front of a preschool?

That's where they met, at age 3, and where he stood up in front of their classmates and told them that he loved her and was going to marry her someday.

That is wonderful. I wonder if he will make her wear the same school uniform?

Okay....that’s a different thread....

Exactly. Don’t let Trump do it to you.
Or the media.

Choose your poison.

There are times when this could be inspirational:

Not always. It may just mean that the offended person is a bit of a baby.

Every. Single. Morning.

No it doesn’t. It means YOU are offended.

Thank you Rivercitystreetpoet.

Loved this!

If this doesn't warm your heart nothing will.
