I've just looked up Aplastic Anemia - thanks for sharing the idea of it. I'll pay attention and talk to my PCP. Nice writing - your post Stupid Muffin. Thanks for caring for another person with such sensitivity.

My heart goes out to you with the struggle you had in diagnosing your condition. My sister suffered similarly for years before being diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia.

Thanks, Trish.
So much to think about these days – the passage of time, loss, and other changes.
More to come at sublimedays.
Hope all is well -

Nice story, Mary. You convey the meaningfullness of that statue in such a simple yet so tender way. What a keepsake it will be for you. And.. never having thought much of Danny Boy… I am surprised at how much I like the Eric Clapton version. So sweet– thanks for sharing. – Trish

Thanks -
I’ve just published a novella (via Kindle) – The Setting of The Sun – a story that takes place in Lawrence MA at the turn of the century and into the 1900′s. Though the story is complete fiction, it was inspired by the love I saw between my maternal grandparents. And the main character is based on a combination of my grandmother, my grandmother-in-law, and my own mother as she aged. I tried to bring some immigrant history into the book, based on research and my mother’s memories.
I’m in the process of writing two full length novels now – neither with family lore! But I do think about trying to capture my mother’s family in a story. I don’t know enough about my father’s side – most of what I know is in that post!
Thanks for visiting sublimedays and thanks for your comment. I hope you listened to and enjoyed Eric Clapton!

I love your post. I find it intriguing. My paternal side has lots of Irish ancestors, but I must say, your story needs to be told. So, tell us more!!!

Comment on There is only one happiness in life—to love and be loved (George Sands) by Mary McAvoy

Thanks!
I am loving what’s happening with digital publishing!
It is so flexible – like me being able to put together this offer in about an hour’s time.
The author has so much more control than in traditional publishing.
As much as I love the feel of a book in my hands…the digital option is great!

Thanks Frank.
I know you know the meaning in every word, the literal and the nuanced.
Thanks for all you’ve done, especially during the downhill run.
