~Music is Good For You~
Every day I surf and look  for music sites, as I really 
 enjoy music.. It helps keep  me happy. Today I found a
 great site with accordion  music, which I enjoy, as it
 makes me vaguely remember  my Aunt Phyllis used to
 play one... It suited her  as she was always happy and
 joking around. All my  family enjoyed music. I still hear
 my mothers radios playing  in every room. When you went
 to the bathroom as soon as  you turned on the light the
 radio came on set to her  favorite station which of course
 was  WIKB...
 When I was listening to  some polka music It made me
 remember the times they had  this great little German band
 come in and play for us at  the home,  5 people.. It was just 
 great to hear them..  Everyone enjoyed it. One dear friend,
  a lady named June loved  it.. She was in the later stages
 of cancer and lost a little  ground every day. She used
 to always sit by me so we  could talk.. Lovely lady..
The next night the German band was there of course she
 The next night the German band was there of course she
sat next to me in her chair and we sang  to some of them
 and she was so happy.. Suddenly she got  up and went over
 to another lady there that I really  didn't know, other than
 her name was Kathryn and she was VERY  ill..... June stood
 next to her then started to sing to her  in German to one of
 the songs.. She stood sort of next to  her with her arm around
 the shoulders  of the woman and with her  left hand she 
 reached and would gently stroke this  ladys face. In between
 them she would hug her close and kiss  her cheek... She stood
 there for quite a while loving on this  lady and no one told her
 to stop.  Soon a nurse came and told  June, "June, dear, your
 sister has to go back to her room now,  we will bring you to see
 her tomorrow, kiss her good  night".
 With that said, June gently kissed her  sister and hugged her
 close. The nurses pushed Kathryn back to  her room.. That night
 Kathryn passed away. I think of that  when I hear a German polka
 and how happy June and Kathryn were that  last nite together as
 sisters, how happy they were. Every time  June would hug her sis
 or kiss her face her sister would smile  broadly and you could see
 how happy she was even though she  couldn't say a word. 
To me it shows that never to wait to show someone or something
 To me it shows that never to wait to show someone or something
you care about them.. It may be your  last chance.. I don't take any
 chances like that... I take nothing for  granted.. life can change in
 the blink of an eye and at least half of  the times it may not be for
 the better.  You love someone, care  about them? TELL THEM!....
 Penny came today and so did Rebecca and  Kathy and her husband!
 I have had a full day!  Kathy is Pennys  sister, they came to get
 some of that Styrofoam out of my garage  that is Donnies.. I am
 selling it for him. Kathy and Neil are  insulating their house more,
 it works great for that.. Dawn is due to  come over later to pick up 
 some homemade bean soup I made  yesterday. I ate 3 as in THREE
 bowls of it and I am giving the rest to  the kids. Its really good,
 but Ive had my fill... I got my  next  net flix today..a Stargate one.
 I like that show on TV.. its something  like star trek and that was
 one of my favorites.. I liked captain  Kirk but Piccard now, hes ok

Say listen ... I believe Great Creator gave us, His children, two special gifts to make life enjoyable: love ... so's different people can get along together and music, to express love better ... and lift the spirits when things are down. And the polka came along as a special, joyous spirit lifter ... JA JA ...
