~ Testify to Love ~

Chosen by Tina~in_ut





I thought I was just going to hear Wynonna sing this beautiful song when I found this video, but when I watched it, I cried and it reminded me that when we lose someone, the only thing that we can do is give thanks for the time we had with them. I never watched Touched by an Angel, but I heard that it was a very special show. I love Wynonna’s voice. It’s so powerful and I think this song is perfect for a Sunday, no matter what your personal beliefs are.

    Whew...I had some kind of God awful tummy thing yesterday, it was rumbling so much that I thought it was trying to play a tune! I think I must have at least lost a pound or two!

    Going to catch up on comments!

    SacBarb...I don't remember how long it was before the facing started to curl/peel off. Mom had a home improvement company do it and they did come back to re-glue, but it just did it again. We ended up using double sided tape but needless to say, Mom was not happy!

    SCIRISH...there really are a lot of things to do in Cleveland and surrounding areas. Yes, the Zoo is terrific. We have the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, an awesome interractive Science Center, Art Museum, Cuyahoga Valley National Park w/ a steam engine train that runs thru it, the West Side Market is an incredible farmers market, great restaurants, quaint towns and big cities. And a river that once caught fire ;)~
    There are a few pics on ms showing a few things.

    Good morning,

    I have never heard that song before, but it is beautiful.

    This morning I got an email from my mom, her brother is dying of cancer and suddenly turned for the worse last night. They only started him on Hospice the day before yesterday.

    My mom and dad immediately left to drive to Scottsdale (burb of Phoenix).

    Our family has lost someone every year in Jan. or Feb. for the past 6 years, except for a break last year.

    Sorry to add to the sadness the past few days, but as long as everyone is sending good thoughts I thought I would ask for some sent my uncle's way.

    I hate the thought of anyone suffering or being in pain. His cancer has spread in under a year from a lung to the liver, brain, other lung, and as of 2 days ago, the spine.

    Hugs to Donna H & Iteach. Scrish congrats on 1st, and I am glad you are better today!

    I am getting tax stuff together today, trying to not wait til the last minute this time!

    Mo my mom was born in Wisconsin too, still have lots and lots of relatives there!

    OK I will be back, the sun is out and I feel motivated. Have a nice Sunday everyone!

    Tina - I loved your choice of video. I also loved "Touched by an Angel". I remember crying over that episode when it first played. I wish they would re-run them. There was one beautiful show about a young girl who adored Elvis. She dies at the end listening to him sing. That one stayed with me for a long time.

    I've been having a blast. TINA and DIANNE are soooo much fun. Their tag-team humor makes me laugh so hard tears run down my face. I can barely sit still for pictures because I am constantly laughing. I'm so glad that they came to Arizona. So frickin' glad.

    I just heard about Donna's Dad. Donna, to you and Iteach, all my support and good wishes.

    I'm struck by "circle of life" issues today. Carol's life is so enriched by her nephew, who she's known his entire life. Zona's life is enriched by the owl friends she has made, and was able to visit yesterday.

    It's all so brief and mysterious! The selection of fellow humans we are fortunate (and sometimes not so fortunate) to meet and get to know is so pernicious, and before we know it, they, and eventually we, are gone!

    Cherish your loved ones today, owls, and keep them close.

    The Manor is hushed and decorated in dark colors today. I feel like we're all dropping in there at one time or another, just to connect with each other.

    I did see that episode of Touched By An Angel TINA. I was a real tear jerker as is the song. Even though the song brings tears, it also brings comfort.

    TINK, If you happen to get the Hallmark channel in Victoria, it broadcasts Touched By An Angel.

    Yes, it has been a sad week for our owls and their Families.EBJ,so sorry about your Uncle.

    Whabbear,you always know just what to say. I esp. like the "connecting" part. I feel like breaking out in "We are Family"!
    I adore all of you!

    Carol. I love the way you "connect" with your Nephew. I try to do the same with my Nieces. "Making memories" for them is always a "good thing"

    OK, I am done "quoting" lol!

    My eyes are brown but my daughter says they look almost green sometimes. They are lighter brown I guess. I have heard that from others too in the past. BUT, I didn't get the owl because it had green eyes. It is a new hatchling! hehe. :)

    Hi Everyone,

    I had this wonderful long post that I thought posted earlier today, and now I don't see it. So I'm going to see if I remember it.

    I'm really having fun in Arizona and I've enjoyed meeting Tina and Zona. They are really corrupting me and Mr. D might not let me come home. Mr. Z is excited about that!

    There is one bad thing here: I have seen three Cardinals shirts, and one of them was on MEK. I thought this city would have tents, stores, banners, and flags for their SuperBowl Cardinals. Heck, we have them for the Broncos even when we're not in the SuperBowl!

    Rambone, that's what I call Mr Z, has been wearing a Bronco shirt and a Bronco hat since I got here. And Zona even tells me he wears the hat to bed. When I get my "digital" camera processed, I'll post the picture of him in his clothes. I mean, in his Bronco attire. Shoot! I forgot to buy him pants.

    MEK, it was really nice to see you again. Sorry for flipping food on you.

    I have to go now so I can start writing my letter to the editor so they sell the Cardinals to Utah where they will be appreciated.

    Also, thank you to sweet Tina for taking my dictation and typing all this for me while I prop my feet up in Rambone's chair.

    Dianne, Your long post is in area 51. Were you sober when you posted it?

    Carol, Happy birthday to your nephew.

    EBJ, praying for your Uncle.

    Donna and Iteach, my deep sympathy for your loss.

    haha..Mek! Well, actually I did. Also, that poor cheesecake got pushed off of the diet cokes and turned upside down right when I was getting in my car. I had to go back in and explain to the lady why I needed the "Happy 21st Birthday Elizabeth" redone. There was frosting all over the top of the container. Luckily, the lady was very nice and re-did it. She even gave me a new lid. Phew.!

    OK SACBARB, I was not drinking that much. I had one Italian Marg and that was it. I am the oldest and I had to keep an eye on the other three...I have to be the responsible one!

    We ended up not going to the movie as TINA was too tired after dinner. You know how those kids are.....maybe tomorrow but we have to get up and have breakfast and then have lunch and then have our afternoon snack before our plane leaves. ZONA is paying for our lobster omelette in the morning.

    JOEY: You are so right about the movie. I can't believe that someone really has seen this movie and it was the wedding night movie! Little Rambone---he's so cute!

    TINA: Great blog today...I have never heard the song but it reminded me how much I miss the show.

    For Mary.

    Seasons In The Sun

    Goodbye to you my trusted friend
    We've known each other since we were nine or ten
    Together we've climbed hills and trees
    Learned of love and ABC's
    Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees

    Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
    When all the birds are singing in the sky
    Now that spring is in the air
    Pretty girls are everywhere
    Think of me and I'll be there

    We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
    But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time

    Goodbye Papa please pray for me
    I was the black sheep of the family
    You tried to teach me right from wrong
    Too much wine and too much song
    Wonder how I got along

    Goodbye papa it's hard to die
    When all the birds are singing in the sky
    Now that the spring is in the air
    Little children everywhere
    When you see them I'll be there

    We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
    But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
    We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
    But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

    Goodbye Michelle my little one
    You gave me love and helped me find the sun
    And every time that I was down
    You would always come around
    And get my feet back on the ground

    Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die
    When all the birds are singing in the sky
    Now that the spring is in the air
    With the flowers everywhere
    I wish that we could both be there


    We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
    But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time
    We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
    But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
    We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
    But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time
    We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
    But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
