We all miss her bright friendliness and cheer, and the internet is emptier without her. She was sooooo proud of you. We're all thinking of you as you hit (as Bart Simpson puts it) the Big One-Oh. Have a wonderful birthday. With best wishes to you and all your family - Bonnie in Ireland |

Now do me a favor and give your very special Mom a hug for me for being your Mom. We all miss Kat but watching you grow gives all of us a special pleasure. Happy Birthday! Spaw |

11 Nov 13 - 11:07 PM (#3574885) Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Morgan (Kats garandson) From: freda underhill dear Morgan here's a happy birthday poem from Australia! best wishes, freda Bell Birds by Henry Kendall By channels of coolness the echoes are calling, And down the dim gorges I hear the creek falling: It lives in the mountain where moss and the sedges Touch with their beauty the banks and the ledges. Through breaks of the cedar and sycamore bowers Struggles the light that is love to the flowers; And, softer than slumber, and sweeter than singing, The notes of the bell-birds are running and ringing. The silver-voiced bell birds, the darlings of daytime! They sing in September their songs of the May-time; When shadows wax strong, and the thunder bolts hurtle, They hide with their fear in the leaves of the myrtle; When rain and the sunbeams shine mingled together, They start up like fairies that follow fair weather; And straightway the hues of their feathers unfolden Are the green and the purple, the blue and the golden. October, the maiden of bright yellow tresses, Loiters for love in these cool wildernesses; Loiters, knee-deep, in the grasses, to listen, Where dripping rocks gleam and the leafy pools glisten: Then is the time when the water-moons splendid Break with their gold, and are scattered or blended Over the creeks, till the woodlands have warning Of songs of the bell-bird and wings of the Morning. Welcome as waters unkissed by the summers Are the voices of bell-birds to the thirsty far-comers. When fiery December sets foot in the forest, And the need of the wayfarer presses the sorest, Pent in the ridges for ever and ever The bell-birds direct him to spring and to river, With ring and with ripple, like runnels who torrents Are toned by the pebbles and the leaves in the currents. Often I sit, looking back to a childhood, Mixt with the sights and the sounds of the wildwood, Longing for power and the sweetness to fashion, Lyrics with beats like the heart-beats of Passion; - Songs interwoven of lights and of laughters Borrowed from bell-birds in far forest-rafters; So I might keep in the city and alleys The beauty and strength of the deep mountain valleys: Charming to slumber the pain of my losses With glimpses of creeks and a vision of mosses. |

12 Nov 13 - 10:06 PM (#3575146) Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Morgan (Kats garandson) From: Ebbie freda underhill- I don't know Morgan's response to 'Bell Birds' but I like it. Vivid imagery, brings back a favorite memory of mine. One Autumn I went up into the Ochoco National Forest in central Oregon. Whole forest of Ponderosa Pine (a tall, reddish-brown tree with deeply carved and patterned bark); which kills underbrush and the branches are high off the ground so it is like walking in a park. The undisturbed duff is thick and cushiony underfoot. Then every once in awhile, the Ponderosa pull back, forming a meadow, and there in the middle of the meadow is a grove of Aspens where shines "October, the maiden of bright yellow tresses". It is like the very sun is caught in their branches. Not your birthday yet, Morgan. Just keeping the thread present. |

13 Nov 13 - 09:48 AM (#3575276) Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Morgan (Kats garandson) From: Dorothy Parshall Dear Morgan, Your first birthday without your dear grandma. Honest, this will be the most difficult. The first of each anniversary or holiday is the hardest. We always, always think of our dear ones who are gone from us but special days like this are tough. You know she did not leave you because she wanted to, that she was struggling to keep on and wanted to spend more years with you. When my dad was dying of cancer, among the very last words he was able to speak, "I just bought little boy his first car. Now everyone in the family has his own car." I hoped this meant he would live but what it did was express his wish that he could live to buy "little boy" his first car at age 16. My son was not yet 3 years old and his relationship with his granddad was special - like yours with your grandma. Although they had less than 3 years together, I know that gave my son a special sense of himself that I still see 50 years later. You have been gifted with that special relationship with your grandma. You know her in your deepest self and she lives in you. You will listen to her all your life. And you will miss her too. Nothing can ever take from you the gifts she has given you. She would wish you to have a very happy birthday. Let it be so. You can celebrate her life with the best possible birthday. |

14 Nov 13 - 01:02 AM (#3575459) Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Morgan (Kats garandson) From: Amergin Happy Birthday, Morgan! I know you don't know me...but I knew your grandma....at least on these virtual pages. She was a great lady, gentle, but with a fierce pride and a backbone harder than steel. The kind of lady any one would be proud to know and call friend. Anyway, give your lovely mum a big old hug for me and for you, because she is surely missing her mum, especially on your big 10 year day....my god, ten years. I remember when Kat bragged about your birth. Good luck to ya, mate, and stay strong, but remember it is ok to weep for her, and to miss her. Being strong is also never being afraid to show your tenderness. Take it easy. Amergin aka Nathan Tompkins |
