the poor old hippie

Something I haven't "experienced" yet. Don't want to. (Who does?)
Another thing that makes you think... ... ...
I remember one thing my grandmother said at my father’s funeral;
"No parent should have to bury their child"

Me neither. I remember everyone in school paranoid and some were making plans to go to Canada right after graduation. Then a few months before graduation the draft ended. My brother had to "sign-up" tho, Dad was "Go kill the commies" and mom was just worried...

Strange times then.

 

No shit.I remember going to bed at night and making plans.My brother had asma and had a 1F status I think.They were still doing the lottery system when he came of age.Yes,thanks shameless and yeah you too Wavy.

 

AHGHAHAHAhaha... omg... that was so immature, but I thought the"U" in Bulls was an "A"

 

old balls, lol, thats even funnier~*

 

what a great thread this has turned into.. I love it.. the flow is smooth and easy.. what ever rolls in, no fighting or flaming.. just good friends sitting around the table enjoying their favorite beverage and telling tales of what has happened and what is to come.. sharing and caring.. I'm getting to feel more and more at home here in the forums T/Y all .. my spirit wants to linger and mingle..

This is a wonder age we live in.. look at all the things we have to choose from..I never had that many choices when I was growing up.. hummm I wonder what you have happened if I was raised in todays world what I would have become.. I'm very happy with my life at this point.. but I wonder what I'd be like if I hadn't been who I am being a hippie.. not that I think a great deal about being a hippie at all I just live my life and try to help who I can on the way threw.. I suppose I have just upgraded my hippieness as far as I could..where do you go when it's done.. when you have the dream.. I mean like mind set of what everyone was striving for back in the 60'/70's.. I like it in this place better.. I feel safer.. till I leave to go back home to the other side.. I'd like to say I have been Blessed.. but for me to have been truly blessed I would still have my daughter( I know.. I'm working on it.. but it's a bugger) I am only mortal after all.. but I am as happy as I can be besides that..ohh myy I'm rambling again.. I do feel blessed to find friends in here that I can relate to.. I'm the oldest here and NO ONE around here that I know of was anywhere near Haight Ashbury or NYC.. so to come here brings a voice that has been silently yearing to speak..

Love Yas .. Shameless

 

Well....Larry IS 59....is that old????...>SNORT<....

 

Sweetie, I can't imagine your pain over that one...

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Shameless}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

I do have alot of Siritual beliefs and from where I'm sitting I don't believe you are for one moment without her spirit around you.
I'm on the other side of this ..as I lost my mom when I was 7, and sent into foster care soon after, while it is a different situation, I have not for one day ever felt that she totally left me.
I get lovetaps all the time in many manifestations.
Just last night, Larry and I were out for a little walk with our dog and it was cool, crisp and very clear here. We stopped in the middle of the road and were looking up at all the stars, we see so many being out in the middle of nowhere with no city lights for miles, and I said "Wow, I wonder if we'll se a shooting..." and before I could get it out of my mouth, there very close to the earth a star flew by, it was SO BRIGHT. We stood there for another 10-15 minutes and did not see another.
Well to many this might be considered a coincidence, but when I was little, my mother did not know alot of English but one thing she said alot, was that I was her shining star.
Things like this happen to me ALL THE TIME.
So I have very strong beliefs along these lines.
The mother child connection is very strong and I don't believe the death of our human body can even break that.
I just read a book called"Feathers brush my heart" about occurences between mothers that have passed and ways they have sent their energy into the lives of their loved ones from beyond.

You're so right about this and other recent threads on this forum...very nice, I also feel as though I am sitting around the table just listening, and sharing things with my friends...I love it too.

Much love to you,
teepi

 

(((((teepi)))).. thank you my sister for the kindness you have shared with me.. I have had a difficult time these past 4 yrs..seems like yesterday.. not that it get's any easier.. maybe I am just getting harder.. I know in my heart that Amy is watching and is here in spirit.. helping me cope..I know my parents are there with her sending me all the love they have..this is the only thing that keeps me going.. grief is a strange bedfellow and can take you to some wierd places..I think I'm at the tail end of my grief.. I'm at the angry part now and that's suppose to be the finale'. I dont cry myself to sleep every night now.. only a few nights a week.. I can look at Amy's pictures now for a little while before the tears start..and I can even talk about her sometimes without breaking down.. so these are all good signs that I'm recovering.. it takes time and that I have a lot of.. I want you to know that I apprecieate your caring you have such a sweet soul teepi.. than you again..


Love Shameless

 

yes blackie and more and thank you.. Amy was what my life evolved around..She had cystic fibrosis and was ill all her life.. I home schooled her and we were together all the time.. before I knew how I felt in the morning depended on how Amy felt..I planed my life around her illness..even when she got married.. both times.. Amy left two little girls behind, which are the light in my life.. I was a recluse for two yrs after I lost Amy.. I didn't know how to be aanything but Amy's momma.. ohh I had my work and my hubby.. but everything was Amy first.. I'm learing to be a new me..

 

Everything's been said! Feel the Love!

 

I am Humbled by the Love you all share with me.. Blessed are each and everyone of you..some people say that..it's a computer.. no ones real.. it's all a fantasy.. but it is real.. genuine heart felt emotion.. people do care for one another..it's our way..to be there with uplifting hearts ready to go the next level..to shine Love's Light in the dark places and make them less forboding..I so thankful I found this place to be.. I embrace you all..
Love Shameless

 

Most have heard the saying "That what does not kill us makes us stronger". I still feel every moment that I experienced as I sat with my mother when she passed. I can't begin to imagine what you felt, what you went through. 'What you went through'. Those words are so true. One HAS to go through it. No going around, under, over, or just avoiding it. Through it we must go.

Well, Amy's death didn't kill you, so I'm betting you are one hell of a YOU.

Thank the Creator for memories.

Peace and crystal clear memories to you, darlin'.

 

I think you're great and you remind me of my mother
I agree the fact that we kids of hippie parents are closer to nature and more tolerant to a lot of things
I think some boys in this forum should think twice before saying they're hippies, because it means peace and love and this for everybody(WOMEN, old , youngs..) and they don't seem to understand that
Being an hippie is not just about having fun no responsabilities and so
It's deepest, it's all about love and sharing
to u with love

luvndrumn thank you Brother for the encouragement..as the old saying goes.."one day at a time". I had always stayed with Amy, when she was 'in' I was "in"..I was in the bed with her holding her as she passed..She was on comfort care and she just went to sleep with the Angels. It was/is the most horriffic feeling one could ever imagain..I tring to get pass it somehow.. When I have her girls, it's like looking right at Amy again.. they favor her so much.. I think the only reason I didn't go with Amy is so I could keep the girls together.. so I do that every other weekend..



Liloo.. thank you ((huggs)).. my kids were raised in a hippie enviroment.. my son was born in the Haight in 70' ..and lived in a commune when he was small..he is still the hippie he was born to be..just like me.. My step kids were raised by their mother till they were 12 and came to live here.. they're not pure hippie.. a little more redneck.. I keep trying.. but they are more tuned into the earth then kids their age..

 

yes blackie I know the song.. it came out around the same time as Amy's death.. I listened to it once and that's all I could take..it was too soon for me to hear it.. I did see the video later on and it was very heartwetching.. it took a lot of courage to sing it.. There needs to be more awearness of cystic fibrosis and what it does to the kids and young adults that have it.. they has been NO major breakthoughs in 20 yrs.. t's time they got it together and rid the universe of this child killer.. it's not natural for parents to bury their childern..

 

...but luvndrumn has a Y chromosome.

 

luvndrumn..forgive me my brother..:& but you are so "feeling' I assummed you a female.. most men aren't so eloquint as in your posts (not to offend anyone of the male gender)... your handle didnt say.. please excuse my ignorance I'm new ya know..and blond.. I didn't look at your profile..

I have been busy putting on new floor coverings throughout our house and remodling the bathroom and I have not had the time to check you out yet .. the kids are finaly out of the house and it's payed for.. so I 'bitched' enough to get a re-modleing job..or maybe I was just good .. whichever it was it's taken my time..but hey it's time for an upgrade.. the house is 118 yrs old and hasn't been upgraded since 73'.. we built another room on and put a front deck and back patio on.. but the floors were bad.. I'm planing on turning the upstairs into a music room for the grandkids..I have plans on them being musicains(sp)..I'm hoping for a rock band outta them..lol.. anyway I'm rambling now and I should stop it.. again please excuse my dumbshitness..

 

Hey there, lady, there's nothing to forgive. As I said, it doesn't matter much.

Rock band, huh? Hope ya get the Doobies.

If ya can't ramble here, then where? It's the OLD Hippies forum, remember? (promise we won't go get the white jacket with the fashionable leather straps)
