Today my mom called to tell me that the Dr told her that my grandmother, who is 98, is transitioning into her way out. We have known for the past couple months, and especially the last couple of weeks that she is nearing the end. The Dr said she will get no more liquids or food or medication now, but she is getting morphine, and she is comfortable. He said if any family members want to see her then they should come soon, because she could pass today or it could be in a few days. On my way to see her, and on my way from seeing her, I played this song over and over. It always takes me to a peaceful place within myself. I am feeling the lyrics "pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind, possessing and caressing me." My grandmother has been in a nursing home for a few years now, and the last couple have been the roughest for her. She couldn't live, but she couldn't die either. I am sad, but I also feel a joyous comfort in knowing she will soon be free.
Along those lines Simey, my elderly mother always loved the Beatles. She didn't like a lot of "rock", but them and the Moody Blues she always adored.Today my mom called to tell me that the Dr told her that my grandmother, who is 98, is transitioning into her way out.

Thanks for doing this thread, krista. The Beatles have always been my favorite band, and this thread has been a nice diversion.
So beautiful, my friend. Reading those lyrics in this context made me cry. Love to you and your family.Today my mom called to tell me that the Dr told her that my grandmother, who is 98, is transitioning into her way out.

It's from a wall hanging of the alphabet in my youngest son's room. The final two columns, read down:
I like it b/c it reminds me of reading to him as a toddler (that's when I noticed it), has no real meaning, but sounds like it could, and because it's damn near the only thing I've ever Googled that comes up with virtually nothing (some weird Hungarian Disney-related stuff aside).Well, it's still exotic to me. Nice.

Well, I can multi-task.
record for all time. Krista posts "THE END" or "fin","ta da" or "whatevs" and we all give her a "love" bump in such #s that it will stand forevs. Whaddya say?
When I 1st saw the letters, I thought that K had posted another social circle riddle.
THAT'S THE MYSTERY????
Wait, in light of rockWhen I 1st saw the letters, I thought that K had posted another social circle riddle.
No offense, but I am disappointed.
, I wanna clarify. 
Nah mang, I just thought it was a fictional character or historical figure or something personally significant that had touched Dinsy in some way.Rock, harsh!,
Oh puh-leze. Yes, I am aware that certain items from one's paternal duties can mean something. For sure, for sure.His son part down?
I stand by my original top 25. Wouldn't change more than 13 or 14 of them.It seems like everyone here would like a small do-over on their top 25.
Yes. I was thinking and I don't think there is really anything else that could work for this. No other rock band has such a strong A-Z catalogue. A majority of Americans aren't anywhere near as familiar with other musical forms so there goes Mozart or Miles Davis. With movies or books there will just be too many that people have not seen/read. It is quite the testament to Paul, John, Ringo, George and George that they made a collection of work that people who were born 40 years apart can come together and discuss in such intimate detail.I think we all did.
I spend at least 15 minutes walking outdoors after every meal - 6 meals/day. Even if it just under my porches.
Moved up from #29 on the Composite and into a few spots inside the Composite Top 25! She did it!
