Nice Time Anyway

We didn't get to the Cardinal Winter Warm-up because of the health of my son-in-law and me. But we had a great time.


With tickets firmly in my hand
I headed in to Cardinal land.
My son-in-law and I shared a thrill
but things went against our will.
His fibromyalgia showed its ugly face
and my diabetes swiped me of my grace.
So the first day we stayed home
from the sofa I didn’t roam.
Second day was a ditto mark
neither of us could find a spark.
We never got an autograph
but we shared a hearty laugh.
Though we never got to go
my face has been a great big glow.
My daughter’s love in the giving
is the thing that makes life worth living.

It is curious how God in His infinite goodness transforms our lives - if we but let Him. It sounds like He had other plans for your visit.

God bless you. Kathy

So sorry you didn't get your autographs, my friend, but sharing a hearty laugh, to me, is always worth the trip!

So, not bating, no pitching, no loaded bases, no kicking dirty towards the Umpire...and no hot dogs with everything (heavy on the onions please)
Sorry about that my friend, but it will come another time to burn the cardinal's socks off with a future hot game. (pre-warming...whatever)
The important thing are that good health gets back pronto!!!

Sorry you didn't make it to Cardinal land, but I don't think you really care for instead you were reminded of what really makes the world continue to turn. Love. Love of your daughter for you and her husband and the simple good time you had. Thoroughly enjoyed. Liz

Reminds me when I went to my wife and while at the beach threw my back out. Was in bed for 3 days, what a bummer. I know how you both must have felt.
