Memorable Moments

What happened in your life that still brings a smile to your face?


My mother placing her first kiss on her first grandchild's forehead.
She had tears of joy running down her face, a light was shinning above her head, it made everything else in the room seem dim .. her energy of pure love was overwhelming ..
She was so happy ..

Awwww .. how sweet, though. Funny thing she said, but, also she was sad for another person's issues .. I guess sad can be sweet, too, when it's for another.


One time, when my son was around 5, we were staying in a hotel and to entertain him, we were playing hide-and-seek .. I was it and he was hiding on the window sill, behind the curtain .. the thing is, he was sitting on the sill with his legs hanging down below the curtain .. of course, playing with a child, you can't find them even when you actually can .. so, I'm like, "Where is ( ), I can find him" He giggles, and starts wagging his legs .. it was so funny because he thought that because his face was hidden and he couldn't see me that I couldn't see his legs.

I still laugh about that .. it was so cute.

** can't .. can't find him

When the maple trees turn their leaves as it starts to thunder .. they shimmer in the warm breeze in the anticipation of being rejuvinated and nourished .. when their branches are greener and lifted up higher afterwards with the sheer joy of being alive that makes them want to stretch out to the sun.

"But where's the womandrill"?


Ah.ha .. and you can't help but to laugh .. they say it so innocently.

"don't you find that all Cancers are just really nice people? The male and female cancers I meet are all one and the same .. just really cool people!"


That's alright .. it's really not off topic, since it's about memories ..

Times are hard dealing with Cancers, for me .. I haven't figured out how to do it, yet. And my brother is one, lol.

What do you see, DC, Sweet-P .. maybe I'm missing something in their nature.

You could be right .. I don't get along with my brother (permanently estranged) .. so perhaps, when I look at Cancer's I'm seeing him .. that's wrong of me .. I need to work on that.

Sorry about your wife, DC .. my condolences.

Aww, that's sweet, pp .. she just knew because she felt you and wanted to give you her Piscean compassion, how endearing.

Yeah .. I know what you're saying about Cancer's. "he gets caught up in feeling sorry for himself". I'm not sure how to deal with that, either. It's caused a bridge to be severed within my family unity .. it cannot be mended, from the Cancer's perspective and I'm not sure how to approach the issue.

How do you do it when it's between family and the Cancer will NOT stand down to listen to his family .. EVERY family member stands on one side .. he stands alone.

Just let the Cancer be .. along his merry way, eventhough, the entire family is hurting?
That seems pretty selfish .. though, he thinks he's the one hurting, the victim, when in fact, he is not .. he was the abuser, not the victim .. how do I get that across?

Oh .. well, it's been years .. so I guess he made his decision, then.

Thanks for helping, though .. perhaps, one day he'll have a change of heart.

"its like I am obsessed with thought of past hurts."

Yeah, my brother (this Cancer) feels this way, too. Up until the time he was completely severed by the family (all Scorpio's), he was obsessed about the pain he suffered. It's sad, because I'm the only person to whom even recognizes he's still apart of the family - to the rest - all Scorp's - he no longer exists.

"My response to this was while you worry about people that had hurt you in the past they are living their lives fine and sleeping well every night."

This would be true for the rest of us .. but, I can't do that. He's my brother and a day doesn't go by that I don't think about what needs to be done to find resolution. He's just hurt the family so bad - so bad - that ALL the Scorp's did their thing and erased him from existence .. I just have to hope that one day, he will accept that his feelings aren't the only ones involved.

Thanks, pp, for all the info .. I'll keep trying to figure out how to reach him.

Years ago (when I worked) there were these two ducks living on a small pond in front of a house I drove by everyday .. and everyday, I would always look to see this couple waddle around happily .. one day, one of them was gone, the other always just sat in one place, quacking away, head hung down .. for a couple days, he/she rarely moved and just kept calling out for it's mate ..

It was so sad, I could hardly stop crying for it, for I knew that they mated for life and he/she was in pain. Finally, I stopped and tried to go talk to the duck and a man came out of his house, 'cause it was private property ..

The female was sick and couldn't come out to play .. she wasn't dead, rather inside and her mate was just upset because she wasn't enjoying the sun & pond time with him. He assured me his mate was very much alive .. several days later, there they were, waddling together along the embankment .. it was so beautiful.
