When she was about seventy, the Salvation Army contacted us and said that she would like to make amends and meet with us again. I was 19...it was the first time I met her. She was tiny, with snow white hair and piercing blue eyes. It was the only time I met her, and I wonder what memories I would have had of her if she had not had addiction problems for years. <br /><br />At least I have the one meeting, and for that I yearly give to the red kettle while trying not to cry.Thoughts on Life and Millinery.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826496514403918108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-46573825914498231262009-12-21T16:36:40.458-08:002009-12-21T16:36:40.458-08:00Very true!
