JIMMY AND FRAN

HI EVERYONE!

I FEEL SO GOOD TODAY, AS IF A VERY LARGE WEIGHT HAS BEEN LIFTED FROM MY SHOULDERS.  I FEEL LIKE I CAN START TO LIVE LIFE AGAIN....AS IF THERE IS A PURPOSE TO LIFE....A PURPOSE TO ACTUALLY GET OUT OF BED, AND BE PRODUCTIVE (ALTHOUGH JIMMY ALWAYS TELLS ME I DO MY BEST WORK IN BED!)......OH YES, HERE IT IS...I FEEL MY HUMOR RETURNING TO ME, ONCE AGAIN!......HEAVEN FORBID, DON'T BE IN THE SAME ROOM WITH JIMMY AND I, AS WE WILL BOTH HAVE YOU LAUGHING VERY HARD.....JIMMY AND I ARE OUR BEST WHEN WE ARE "COMBINED.".........WE HAVE A NATURAL ABILITY TO BE COMICAL WHEN TOGETHER....SOMETHING LIKE "BURNS AND ALLEN."......AND YES, HE DOES LIKE TO CALL ME "GRACIE."

YES, ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE, I GUESS THE BURDEN OF DEPRESSION IS BEGINNING TO LIFT FROM ME........AS JIMMY WILL BE COMING HOME ON PAROLE IN SOMETHING LIKE 6 WEEKS.................

.........AND I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

SO FOR ME.......US.........LIFE NOW BECOMES MORE "BALANCED."........MORE "HARMONIOUS."...........MORE PURPOSE TO LIFE..............TO CONTINUE ONWARDS, ON AN "EVEN KEEL."............TO MAINTIAN  "OUR HOUSEHOLD."

DOING ONE SINGLE THING IN THIS HOUSEHOLD, IS IMPORTANT, BECAUSE I AM DOING IT FOR THE 2 OF US........

.JIMMY AND I ARE ONE, AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN , NOT ONLY IN THIS LIFE, BUT IN MANY OTHERS............

WHEN I SAY "FRAN,"  I REALLY MEAN "FRAN AND JIMMY," AS WE ARE ONE AND THE SAME....THAT IS HOW CONNECTED WE ARE TO EACH OTHER.

JIMMY TOLD ME ON THE PHONE, " I LOVE TO LOOK INTO YOUR EYES....THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL........YOUR EYES CHANGE COLOR FROM BLUE TO GREEN, TO HAZEL TO GREY."............UNUSUAL, ISN'T IT, TO HAVE EYES THAT ARE NEVER THE SAME COLOR!"...........AND WHEN I LOOK INTO HIS INTENSE DEEP BROWN EYES, I SEE THINGS THAT ARE DEEP, LIKE THE UNIVERSE..........I ALWAYS HAVE LOVED TO GAZE INTO JIMMY'S EYES..........

OH GOD!.......LIFE MOVES SO SLOW FOR ME.........SOMETIMES I JUST CAN'T STAND IT...........

WHEN JIMMY WALKED OUT THE FRONT DOOR, ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO, ON HIS WAY TO JAIL, WE WERE A MARRIED COUPLE, IN A VERY YOUNG MARRIAGE....WE HAD ONLY BEEN MARRIED FOR 2 YEARS AT THE TIME.......OUR LOVE WAS "A YOUNG LOVE," BUT HAS ONLY GROWN AND RIPPENED AND MATURED, WITH THE PASSING OF TIME.........

...SUCH IS LIFE!.......................FRAN
