Subject: Re: WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE Author: Mem [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:52:18 02/09/03 Sun In reply to: Mem 's message, "WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE" on 01:24:59 02/07/03 Fri PL: I have a funny story to tell you about a beautiful 8x11 photograph of DHK that one of our lovely board sisters sent me last year. I thought it would be funny to put it into a beautiful frame that my husband had bought me for Christmas with doubtless intentions for me to use it to encase a family photo. Without a word to anyone save my children who were ALL in on the big joke, I placed the photograph on our piano amidst all the other photos of family and friends. We all waited anxiously for the Hub to notice but he did not; not for days, weeks... (just like a man - but that is another post for another day) Anyway, all the kids kept taking their father into the music room for any reason they could come up with. He never had so much attention. They were all desperate for him to find the picture - but none wanted to be the ONE who told. What made it funnier was that everyone was staying at home more, even my 21 year old was visiting more often because no one wanted to be the ONE who was not at home when the big "boom" occured. As time passed, we all imagined it would be a far bigger reaction than it could ever be and I started to worry that it might be sort of anticlimactic for the littler ones. One night, I thought of just telling him and putting on some big act for the kids...LOL As fate would have it, that weekend we were entertaining our Pastor and his wife and some of the elders from our church. As it always happens with this group, we eventually ended up in the music room standing around (how did you guess) the piano. We all were having a wonderful time when out of the blue my husband's voice bellowed from the other side of the room, "HEY! What is this doing in here?" Startled by his uncharacteristic tone, I turned to see him holding up the frame with the picture of DHK. The room went silent and everyone looked at me. I could feel my eyes bulge and the flush in my face. For a minute I just stood ther not knowing what to say - how to explain... One person began to giggle and another to chuckle. I heard a laugh then I noticed everyone was laughing - including my kids. Seems the joke was on ME. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE Author: PonderosaLover [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:12:50 02/09/03 Sun OMG, that is SO funny!!! I have to explain how there was nothing funny in my life in 2002. I had one tragedy after another and I have to admit that having Danny as a fantasy got me through alot. I live alone and I found myself talking out loud many times, explaining to Danny what I was going through. I'm glad to say that I'm getting my sense of humor back now...there's an adjustment period that we go through when a tragedy happens. All my friends were worried, even the church members kept sending me little sayings like - If God brought you to it, He will bring you through it! Nothing was comforting to me except Danny and The Ponderosa. After I posted on the other Voy board - Ponderosa Magic - someone sent me a PM that everything in the world WOULD NOT be alright if TP returned....etc... But inside my house is the only thing that I can control, the world will keep revolving, fighting, killing will continue in the world, but I don't have to watch it on the TV. I just put in a Danny film, and I'm happy. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
