When Legends Die-The Crossroads
Today has been one of those days when I think too much. Sometimes being this way is a burden.
January 8th was the day Elvis Presley was born. His life and death has occupied much of my thoughts today, in various ways.
I have found that people either loved, or hated him. They either thought his music was wonderful, or terrible. I loved his music . He was so gifted, so blessed. His music brought joy to many people.
I was a teenager and young woman when he made his movies and even though his acting skills were not as great as his musical ability, I still watched every movie he was in.
As I thought of his life today, I was struck by how we, at some point in our lives fall into that way of thinking about how much better our lives would be

Your words move to a long silence before being able to say anything. I know how it is to have no father. Mine was the Great Absent too. And the most important questions rarely get any answers. It is one of the worst cruelties of life. I don't know when you will read this comment, but my feelings go with you. I do hope you will find some peace.

Beautiful Leann!! It looks like a huge fractal rising from the sea. Wonderful effect, colors, textures. I don't know HOW you can come up with such amazing pieces. Another superb one, Leann!

I am going to miss you and your beautiful work :( Take it from this old man... no matter what we do or what happens we must face life whether is happiness or sadness that life brings us. Life goes on, and so do we. Hope to see you back soon after you do what you have to do. Excellent work, Leann!!!

In 1997, the phone rang. It was my mother to inform me that "my Dad had died while eating supper at my brother Dale's home. Dale, a firefighter, did CPR until the EMT's arrived, to no avail." With those words, dead also were any hopes of a recconcilliation with a mn who'd fought accross Europe, in Korea, and had spoken to me "man-to-man" one time, in 1989; and then, ONLY because HIS DAD, my Grandpa Z, asked him to, durring a visit at the "Old Soldiers Home" where as a WW1 vet, Grandpa retired to. That brief talk was only one in my whole life to thyat point & since-maybe 20 min. It took me a long time get over the anguish, etc. I have 6 brother's & sisters I've never seen as adults. I guess I share this by way of saying, we can let go, move on. Which is a prerequisit for living healthier emotionally.Blessed are those who've the courage & strength to do that~SAZ~.

Stay strong, Lea...the wisdom and strength you seek and need during troublesome and painful times, lies within you..as it does in all of us. You have all the necessary tools to find the courage and fortitude to withstand any of the onslaughts that life throws our way. No one leaves this physical existence without experiencing heartache, anquish, disappointments, and considerable loss..it is part of the human condition. Time does help..and time does heal..but the painful memories never go away..how you decide to resolve them for your own well-being will be the test. Take care, know that you have lots of folks here that care about you and wish you nothing but happiness and the very best of life..
