LETs "HEAR" a CHEER for ST. PATTY's DAY

Mar. 17th 2006

* Well, ANOTHER HOLIDAY without MY STONE ...*

....but....

* If you can LOOK on the BRIGHT SIDE....
( And I USUALLY DO ! )
*It's just one MORE HOLIDAY 'CLOSER' to my STONE ...

I MYSELF NOT being IRISH , never REALLY HAD REASON to CELEBRATE all-out..

*BUT... Now I have a REAL REASON to CELEBRATE...*

It's a very SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY for my STONE...

She woke from her coma on March 17, 1981 ...
And due to Menegitis ... she was DEAF...
So... this is her FIRST.. ... *YES, her FIRST ...
St PATRICK'S DAY that she can HEAR in 25 YEARS !!!!

HEARING someone SPEAK to me is VERY EASY to take for GRANTED.
BUT...
* LISTENING to My DARLING STONE is ..
... like LISTENING to the BIRDS SINGING..
... like LISTENING to CHILDREN PLAYING..
... like LISTENING to the WIND BLOWING through the TREES..
... like LISTENING to the WAVES CRASHING on the SHORE..
... like LISTENING to the SUN-SHINE COMING UP on a BRAND NEW DAY...

*YES ... NEEDLESS to SAY ...
I LOVE the SOUND of My STONE's VOICE..
(And I HOPE that SHE LOVES my GRAVELLY VOICE as MUCH)

* SO...
This YEAR ....
SAINT PATRICK's DAY has SOME SPECIAL MEANING to ME...
* I'll go as FAR as SAYING ... " KISS ME ... I'M IRISH ! " *

*I couldn"t have ASKED for a NICER PRESENT on this DAY...

*WELL... I KNOW that I STARTED this ENTRY OVER a MONTH ago..

*BUT .. the LOVE of My STONE ... has HELD my HEART..
*And LIFE has KEPT ME BUSY...

* TILL the NEXT CHANCE that I get to SIT and TYPE
and TELL YOU just HOW MUCH I LOVE My STONE..

* Always REMEMBER, there is no GREATER LOVE, ... then,*
* ......................................... a ROCK & a STONE ...*
