My Dear & Loving Mother – I know you are up above in the field between the right doing & the wrong doing, but Jill says I can still talk to you and you can still hear me, and that your not really very far away at all. So as our Greece adventure is ending, I wanted to share some of my thoughts with you Mom. (I do feel a little like Shirley Valentine tho…talkin’ to a rock).
First of all, Greece is one beautiful place on our planet Mom, more beautiful than I even imagined or expected it could be. Mother Nature in all her magic for sure. And second, meeting the folks was wonderful & fun, they were so welcoming, and quick to share, and happy, Jill & I felt rite at home everywhere we went. I mean, look – here’s Sherry – and she told us the words to John Lennon’s Imagine were on her Facebook page too, and they want world peace also…and they live half way round the world Mom!! Imagine running into her…what are the chances of that!! I’ll be sure to write her when I get home so we can join hearts just like you taught me.
Oh, and the food Mom!!! the famous Mediterranean diet which isn’t really a diet…it’s just how they eat…you would have loved it all!!
I just wanted to tell you too Mom, how much Jill & I missed your smile & your laughter on this trip, and seeing everything like we used to, meeting the folks together, looking and not judging how other people live on our beautiful planet. Jill says you will always be in every beautiful thing she sees, so I looked for you in the sunrise, and the sparkling ocean, the moon and the stars, and Jill was rite, there you were.
and so Mom I will keep going and travelling with Jill, and report back to you – and always remember Mom how very loved you are. xoxo
Your Pickle-boy South
