My Pa said,  “She had Chantilly Grace,” and I always wondered too myself…wasn’t that lace?
Oh but he said, “It’s so much finer than that, she has the kind of grace that when she left the room she took my heart with her.” Oh I said, “Pa I want that kind of grace one day,”  and he said. “You’ve already got it, the day I first held you in my arms, I knew my heart would break a thousand times watching you go, now straighten up an act like it.” I smile just thinking of that day! I still don’t know what he meant but he always made it sound so pretty and I loved that about him.

    1. He stood for something and literally fought for me and my family and friends. He once rescured a kid who got on a go kart that went out of control and this little guy was flying around trees and my Pa stood still and when it flew by he tackled it and picked it up and the rotor ground into his arm burnt his 3 degree burns but he saved the kid! He always had a scar from that! I’ll never forget the things I saw my Pa do. He always took action! I think that’s why I struggle so much wanting to jump in and rescue people then realizing sometimes it’s best to let them find their own way! 😀 That has always been a struggle for me. Especially with Alex losing her sight. I’m like a caged momma lion! Nothing to do but pace and wait! She’s being so brave! I’m so proud of her. While we wait we are decorating and keeping our minds and hands busy! ❤ 😛 Not easy!

      1. I can see where you get your loving and nurturing nature from. It seems you have the best of him. I reckon he would be so proud of you M.

    1. Awe thank you my Pa was always jabbering at me and I wrote it down. Yes I wrote about it in my About me. It was Tell me about it but from my Name because my last name is Antell so kids called me Shoe AnTell so instead of it being a bad thing I shared a story about my Pa. Thank you I’m happy you like it. I needed a change. Xoxox too you

      1. Yes, I remembered your name from that book jacket you designed. I thought the new name was very clever. And that was before I realized that it was a reminder of a fun part of school when you were young. I remember show and tell, too. Now they call it “share day”. And they hardly ever do it. That seems sad to me.

      6. I wish I had a family that loved to walk! And baking… I wish I did that too! I’ll be alone mostly and I’m okay with that. BB’s dad wanted to spend Cmas with me and with all BB is going through I’m a sitting duck for that guy! We are good friends so it’s hard to tough and closed off when I need him….
