If I could change the world

I know it could not happen, myself, changing the world

but if I could....if I could...

So many things I would change.

In my world changing there would:

1) BE NO DEPRESSION, ALL WOULD BE HAPPY

AND CONTENT WITH WHAT THEY HAVE.

2) PAIN WOULD BE A WORD NOT KNOWN TO ANY.

3) ALL MARRIAGES WOULD BE FOREVER AND ALWAYS

WOULD THE TWO FIND A BEST FRIEND IN THE OTHER

EVEN WHEN THEY GET OLD.

3) THE BIG "C" WORD WOULD ALSO NOT

BE KNOWN BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT EXIST.

4)HOW MANY CHILDREN YOU ARE TO HAVE

WOULD BE KNOWN AHEAD OF TIME.

5) SIBLINGS WOULD ALWAYS GET ALONG,

NEVER HAVE THINGS PULL THEM APART

AND THEY WOULD ALWAYS HAVE THE TIME TO

SPEND WITH EACH OTHER.

6) THE ELDERLY, THE FRAIL WOULD ALWAYS HAVE

CHILDREN TO TAKE CARE OF THEM, TO EASE THE

BURDENS OF BEING OLD WITHOUT FEELING LIKE

A BURDEN TO THEIR CHILDREN.

7) NO MOTHER, NO FATHER WOULD EVER, EVER

BURY A CHILD. IT IS NOT NATURAL, IT SHOULD NEVER

HAPPEN.

I could fill this blog up with others but these are those

that I have been affecting me these last few weeks.

I look at my list and realize, although we don't understand this world,

I know the Big Man has his reasons for those things that don't

follow my perfect list. I also realize that if all these

were to become real, Earth would be called HEAVEN.

So, we strive, we strive to be better people, to work on

our part to make the World a better place by living by 

the golden rule, loving with all our hearts, and to be the

change we want in the world.

BIG, BIG, FAT PRAYERS FOR MY FIRST COUSIN,

FAY.

Tomorrow is the day she has major surgery to remove the

dreaded big "C" from her lung.

She is always happy, always so positive in her thinking,

has no doubt that this will not bring her down, that she

will beat this thing and yet, I know, deep down,

she has to be frightened. I know she is more worried about

her family worrying about her than for herself.

It is her nature. I have a good feeling about her future.

Like the big "C" should know by now not to pick a

Collins Woman to reek havoc on... big "C" rarely wins

against a Collins.

I love you dear, Fay and although I will not be there in body,

My heart, my prayers, my spirit tomorrow will be with you.

Soon you will be able to join the survivor list.

Can't wait until it doesn't hurt to laugh because

us sisters are a'comin to Lacombe with many many 

laughs and love!!!!
