Life's a perpetual challenge, exponentially growing with age.
"Old Age" is a book with no index, a new language on every page.
There isn't a list of instructions, you just have to find your own way.
No day can be taken for granted; each one is like no other day. (rld)
Every day I thank God and David for this awesome family of truly great Canadians.

Cape Breton Lullaby - by Kenneth Leslie.
Driftwood is burning blue,
wild walk the wall shadows,
night winds go riding by,
riding by the Lochie meadows,
On to the ring of day
flows Myra's stream, singing,
Cadil gu lo, laddie, lo, laddie, sleep the stars away!
Far on Ben Breea's side
wander the lost lambies -
here, there, and everywhere,
everywhere their troubled mammies
Find them and fold them deep,
fold them to sleep singing,
Cadil gu lo, laddie, lo, laddie, sleep the moon away!
Daddie is on the Bay;
he'll keep the pot brewin' ,
keep all from tumblin' down,
tumblin' down to wrack and ruin.
Pray Mary send him home,
safe from the foam, singing,
Cadil gu lo, laddie, lo, laddie, sleep the dark away!
