That was a beautifully written letter to her from you. I would keep it forever...and I'm sure she will. I'm glad that she will be an extended part of your family at Christmas. Love is wonderful...and I'm glad that you feel the love for Dolan's girlfriend...and that she feels for him...and for you. What joy that must bring you!!! I can feel it through your blog.

Hello Gail! And hello everybody!
Look at this...Oh! Hello Gail! And hello everybody!<br /><br />Look at this: you wrote a post about us (you+me)! Wow! And what you say is out of this world! You make me sound like I am a dance party of great things! But really, the dancing one is *you*.<br /><br />My gratitude largely exceeds the already large appreciation for your words: I met you and you are wonderful! Thanksgiving day last week has been the best holiday I had spent away from my family. Your letters to me signify rituals at their deepest: like an old dam standing underneath a river, they seize its flow and support it; they help what surrounds you to something else. They are the work of a Mom. <br /><br />Your home is now a fuzzy green pulsar light in my radar (I think about that space in the world and I feel uplifted and safer). This may sound a bit adventive, but it's true! And more is possible (think about all the hues of color)! Here is a picture of what happens in me: http://www.wisdomportal.com/Levitation/Magritte-ClearIdeas980x824.jpg It's like a wider breath, or maybe the first breath taken in a dream. <br />Because you are you, and because you are Dolan's mom, meeting you has been an inspiration for me: *thank you!* (MORE STARS!)<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro9y4fYU4G0 <br /><br />Love,<br /><br />elisaelisahttp://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs498.snc3/27180_327578602799_659392799_3597552_5823257_n.jpgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828389555620814846.post-80473762054241107732010-12-02T08:10:35.417-05:002010-12-02T08:10:35.417-05:00Hello, dear Gail!!

Brian doesn't offer too much information about any girl he's dating, and we didn't want to inundate her with too many questions at first meeting! She seems really sweet and down-to-earth though, I hope things work out.<br /><br />I don't know how much I'll be blogging over the next few weeks, lots to do, and of course Blogger is giving me problems posting again! But I'll try to visit anyway.<br />I have a few posts set up and scheduled to publish but so far they haven't been publishing. Ugh! Blogger! Oh well.<br />Take care.<br />Love to you,<br />Eileen<br />PS ~ My verification word is 'blest'!Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679894230965874631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828389555620814846.post-66687593681060904222010-11-29T10:36:59.283-05:002010-11-29T10:36:59.283-05:00CHOICeS-ANNE

She too is Italian (Florenza) and part Cuban too. She moved here from California and she is a teacher in a school in the Bronx. She fit in very well with our family, but we all say the same thing, we do not want to invest too much emotion into her, because our son has a track record of doing this, introducing wonderful girls into our lives, and then sadly these lovely ladies are suddenly out of our lives and a big void is left. I'm hoping this one is a 'keeper' for him, because she seems like a keeper for the rest of us!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this experience with us.<br />Enjoy!<br />Love to you,<br />EileenEileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679894230965874631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828389555620814846.post-69083601336785926892010-11-29T09:26:22.275-05:002010-11-29T09:26:22.275-05:00DIANA-
