“Till We Meet Again” | Grandma’s Stories

Aug 21st “Till We Meet Again”

“Maybe – just a maybe… because I can still remember seeing so many men and women in uniform during the 1940’s on the buses and street-cars – – downtown where all the bus and train connections were made – near “UNION STATION” – day and night – everyone joining up to serve – -“GOOD-byes” were what you saw and remembered!”

There is something about a “Good-bye” with that “Till We Meet Again” – – that has always been with me – – as that question I wonder about – – “Will we meet again” – “WHEN and Where?” No one that I know of – – can be sure of the very next minute – – especially when so many were sent off to fight during WWII – – and without all of us helping each other – – it could be very difficult – – just to think that maybe… all that will come back is a “Telegram” – – “Lost in ACTION” – – and when those came – – neighbors could hear the screams – – loud and clear!

“SO…when parting those you LOVE and GOOD COMPANY and never knowing – – what is around the next corner of LIFE – – here is what we do as a FAMILY with FRIENDS – – and some may think “us” strange – – but, we have so much FUN with doing our own, “Fire in the HOLE” – – you may want to try this sometime – – just to see if your FAMILY enjoys this “Good-bye or Fare-well” with the same amount of FUN as well as we do?”

When your “Family” gets together for a “Good Time”, at a restaurant, or even a dinner at my home, or one of us who has just made a “Special Dessert” and maybe even just for a “Hang Out” gathering – “What’s the Icing on the Cake going to be – our extra special – Goodbye?”

Now that I’m thinking about it – I know everybody has seen a “Football Game”, and watch both teams getting ready for the next big play – they get in that “Huddle Position”! This is really the “Hugging an Touching Position”, and “Cheer Leading Jumping” with some “Rah Rah’s”, a time to pass strong physical energy around to each other – to keep each of us highly energized – “Till we meet again”!

So, the “Last is the Best” – that would be Me, as only an old “Granny” can “Yell” “Fire in the Hole”! That’s my signature “Yell”! And I do that yell a couple of times! **** Strangers take Note: You’ll want your “Goodbyes” to stand up and mean something, too! So and until then, we LOVE you and send our Blessings to last forever! **** “Till we meet again!”
