PA Grandma, Joyce, use to post on this Depression forum, and for a while did a column of jokes and words of wisdom. Her last column was 5/1/2018 before she passed away not long after that.

For about a week, I wrote her column for her, which consisted largely of sayings. I came across some quotes from literature recently and they reminded me of the sayings. And they reminded me of Joyce.
The following applies to Joyce:

“A dream, all a dream, that ends in nothing, and leaves the sleeper where he lay down, but I wish you to know that you inspired it.”
—Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities


I'll Never Find Another You

Lyrics
There's a new world somewhere
They call the promised land
And I'll be there someday
If you could hold my hand
I still need you there beside me
No matter what I do
For I know I'll never find another you

There is always someone
For each of us, they say
And you'll be my someone
Forever and a day
I could search the whole world over
Until my life is through
But I know I'll never find another you

It's a long, long journey
So stay by my side
When I walk through the storm
You'll be my guide, be my guide

If they gave me a fortune
My pleasure would be small
I could lose it all tomorrow
And never mind at all
But if I should lose your love, dear
I don't know what I'd do
For I know I'll never find another you

But if I should lose your love, dear
I don't know what I'd do
For I know I'll never find another you
Another you, another you

Cat's in the Cradle

Lyrics

… My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you, dad"
"You know I'm gonna be like you"

… And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then

… My son turned ten just the other day
He said, thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw, I said-a, not today
I got a lot to do, he said, that's okay
And he, he walked away, but his smile never dimmed
It said, I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him

… And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then

… Well, he came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?
He shook his head, and then said with a smile
What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please?

… And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then, dad
You know we'll have a good time then

… I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, I'd like to see you if you don't mind
He said, I'd love to, dad, if I can find the time
You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, dad
It's been sure nice talking to you

And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me

… And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then, dad
We're gonna have a good time then

(Did Cat Stevens Sing Cats in The Cradle? They all know it was Harry Chapin that sang Cat’s in the Cradle. The song began as a poem by Chapin's wife, Sandy; her first husband's father was a New York politician and father-son had a strained relationship. Harry saw the poem and turned it into a song and wrote the music. Chapin had a big hit with it, but, Cat Stevens, did a cover version (he re-sang Chapin’s song) and had a big hit with it too.)

By the Time I Get to Phoenix
Sung by Glen Campbell

By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
Off the wall, that's all.

By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly and call my name out low
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Tho' time and time I've tried to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go

Thanks for sharing Tim Tam. You share so much good. You will be blessed. And thanks for remembering Joyce.

Hugs, Karen...

Thanks Karen. You know my weakness, which, as I told somebody else one time, is “Not fair.”

Or as the Bee Gees put it:

To Love Somebody

Lyrics
There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you
Lived with you
There's a way everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain't got you, ain't got?

You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

In my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, so, so, so blind
I'm a man
Can't you see what I am?
I live and I breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, ain't got?

You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you.

Thanks Karen (getting by) and Trina (BnotAfraid).

It was Joyce (PA grandma) who started a column of jokes and words of wisdom on this Depression forum, and whose last column was on 5/1/2018, and who passed away not long after that.

I helped her with her column for about a week and got used to looking up sayings so that I could do that column. So, recently I'm looking around under authors and comments they’ve printed, and it reminds me of those sayings that I put in the column.

And it reminds me of Joyce.

Or, as I put it then, “Some people are the heart of this thread and one was the soul.”

Tim Tam,

It was awesome of you to post this thread. I am glad you got a chance to help Joyce. She was a real good person. I will always remember her. She brightened up every day.

It has been close to two years since she passed. Thanks for adding dates. It is nice to remember her.

Feel free to post things if you feel like it. Trina does on occasion too.
Hugs, Karen...

For about a week, I wrote her column for her, which consisted largely of sayings. I came across some quotes from literature recently and they reminded me of the sayings. And they reminded me of Joyce.
The following applies to Joyce:

“A dream, all a dream, that ends in nothing, and leaves the sleeper where he lay down, but I wish you to know that you inspired it.”
—Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

Or as aviator Amelia Earhart put it:

“A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.”

In keeping things upbeat, Joyce herself wrote on 7-25-2016:
“You never know what you have…until you clean up your room.”

Joyce worked for a time as a radio announcer in Manhattan, according to an obit sent in to this forum by one of her sons. Her career as an artist included magazine and book illustration, commercial art, and sculpture, the obit noted.

Her last column was on May 1, 2018. She passed away Dec. 19, 2018, at 83, according to her obit.

There’ll never be another Joyce.
