I want an old fashioned, honest-to-goodness Green River. I want French fries fried in lard-not vegetable oil; just one more time! I want a second chance: to remember when sleep depravation was fun because I was young & thought I was in love & we had too much to talk about to sleep instead of this weariness that kicks in and makes me feel so damn useless. I want one more shot at visiting New Orleans-This time under my own power; to browse through the French Quarter at my leisure, looking at trinkets to bring home in a sack so large that it's impossible to manage-almost! I want to be able to go to Jimmy Buffett's "Cheeseburger in Paradise" club & for one last time be able to party until dawn instead of having to be in bed by 8 to sleep for 2 hours only to be too tired to think about a party. I want to be able to sleep in the same bed as my husband-spoons as he called it instead of twitching & turning & shaking & rattling so he can't go to work the next day if we try to sleep together now. I want one more chance to see my daddy look at me & for him to know me-really know me before the Alzheimer's started to slowly take him away & finally kill him. I wouldn't change much about my life...if only... Joan Snyder (47/8) "Do or do not. There is no try."Yoda [log in to unmask] http://www.newcountry.nu/pd/members/snyder/page1.htm
