There once was a couple quite young
Who together their fortunes they flung
Handsome husband, lovely wife
They had a great life
[can you finish my limerick for me?]
I did not imagine that I would get emotional writing this post about my parents. I went back and found a post I had written in 2011, They were young, and started to tear up.
My mom had dementia. I started this blog while I was trying to unravel that knot. The name of the blog is based on something she had done — put marmalade on my dad’s hot dog for lunch. She went through a whole marmalade phase, putting marmalade on everything.
Gosh, I’m so emotional looking at those photos, remembering.
She died in 2015. He died in 2019. There’s a huge lump in my throat.


How about, βLeft behind a legacy unsung.β
This is perfect. Thank you, Selma.
Hugs dear friend
