ANOTHER BIRTHDAY FROM YESTERDAY

Published on WordPress              By Donna Brown Bowles ©     

Yesterday, just ran away.

It didn’t even say goodbye.

The silence was deafening.

But I heard every word.

Yesterday, all my memories seem so far away, then the smell of you burst through the sky.

I now remember all the lovely days of yesterday.

It was on a very special day.

On your one hundredth Birthday, May 5th,1923.

I miss you Mom.

I just sat alone inside my dream.

Wondering what all of this really means.

Suddenly it occurred to me.
What if I could see your smile?

I turned my head and cried.

Then a thought became
surreal to me.

I saw my Son and you so, joyous and free!

And it made me smile.

Your faces were glowing, in colors that I cannot explain.

Your smiles lit up the entire room.

Taking all the pain and regrets, of yesterday.

Levi played the guitar and sang, a very Happy song.

He sang, “Happy Birthday Grandma, I love you and I’m so glad that you will never ever go away*°`^•” 

Then I heard your Grandma sing to you.

“Levi, I’m so happy that you came back home, to celebrate eternity with me, I love you Levi, now, you can see” *`•^°*“~

Then I noticed that Our Father, and the Angels sang along,  because you had made it safely home.

Just  in time to sing your grandma, a lovely birthday song.

Thank you Father for giving  hope and eternal life with my family.

And for the peace and love.

From,

Yesterday… ❤️

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY SON

BY Donna Brown Bowles February 19, 2023

It is your birthday son.

I do not have any words.

… … … … … … … … … … …

While I was sleeping, God took you home.

I lost you.

But, God found you.

God knew you were lost.

On that chilling winter night.

When your words were silenced.

You were not alone.

For you Father saw it all.

God opened up his arms and caught you before your fall .

God gently carried your spirit into the heavenly realms.

Leaving only, an aurora borealis as, witness to it all.

Snow drifted upon your body, that you had left behind.

A shell that held your spirit for, only a short time.

No more weight upon your shoulders, no more emptiness, nor tears that you had cried in silence for, you have passed the test.

Your Father loved you too much, to leave you on that night.

And today is your birthday, now in heaven where you belong.

I can almost hear the celebration of the Angels as, they sing in celebration of your song .•`~°•`~

And, I know for sure that you, as well, are happy to be home.

This may seem a little selfish,  but I feel, I must confess.

I want to be where you are; because there’s absolutely nothing left.

And, I want to sing along, in the celebration of, your birth.

I just know that it won’t be long at all…

Till we meet again… 💔

Welcome home Joshua Levi, my precious son, I love you ❤️

MY SISTER

FAMILY, INTERESTS, Stories

MY SISTER

1987 California

Her stories, and, the magic and wonder that she created when I was a child.

It was a winter Christmas night in Buffalo New York in 1963.
My oldest sister, Mary was going Christmas shopping and I asked her if I could go because I had never been out after dark, especially at Christmas time.
I was just 7yrs old.
Needless to say, she allowed me to go and I must say;  it was one of the most beautiful Christmas experiences that I ever had.

We only lived a few blocks away from the gigantic department stores, one was called Hens and Kelly’s,
I believe that was the name.

It was snowing and as we approached the bright lights of the city, my eyes must have been as big as quarters!
I just couldn’t believe how beautiful and magical everything felt!
There were Christmas lights of every color and size dangling from the street signs, the buildings, and every department store window.
There were decorated Christmas trees, bells ringing, carolers singing, and Christmas music playing in every store.
I just couldn’t believe my eyes!
Then we went into Hen’s-n-Kellys department store and, my sister asked me if I wanted to go see Santa, and of course I did.

I told Santa what I wanted for Christmas and he gave me a hug and a candy cane. It was great!
Then, we were off to the next store.
We passed a police man who was walking the beat, he nodded and said, Merry Christmas!
He was so kind.
Next, we happen to pass another Santa from the salvation army.
He was so happy and jolly and he said,
“Merry Christmas, ho ho ho” as he shook his bell with gladness!
There was so much love in the air.

Then, it occurred to me that, I had just sat on Santa’s lap in the last store.
I mentioned it to my sister and, I told her that it’s impossible to have two Santa’s and now, I’m not sure if I believe in Santa anymore.
She said, “no sweetheart, there’s not two Santa’s but, only one.”
She continued. Do you see those raindeer over there? Well, they fly from store to store so, that Santa can be everywhere and see all the children.
I was like, “wow, really!”
I remember thinking, how amazing that was and, to this day, I believe that was the best Christmas ever!
The Spirit of Christmas was everywhere!
I never told her how much that meant to me as a child.
So, now I want to thank you sister for making my Christmas dreams come true in Buffalo New York, 1963.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
MAY ALL YOUR WISHES AND DREAMS COME TRUE.
JESUS LOVES YOU AND I DO TOO.

Love always,
Sincerely,
your sister, Donna
