Wishing you happiness and good health in the new year! |
I stuck to bags and decorative boxes this year! |
This is so me! |
Except I don't need gas. I currently drive an EV. But utilities and groceries would be helpful! |
Have a very merry Christmas, and don't forget, some of us are trying to be jolly despite our grieving the loss of a loved one. Keep us in your prayers. And don't forget to visit Happy Tuesday and Random Tuesday Thoughts.
East of Eden by John Steinbeck
It's been six days since we buried our mother. I still find it hard to accept. I'm sure that's "normal."
I typically have a lot of joy this time of year. Christmas is such a magical season, and I love it. We did put up a small tree, about as tall as I am. I have purchased some gifts. And Christmas will be fun with the young granddaughters, but this Christmas will be vastly different in my heart.
I suppose I should take comfort knowing that mom is made whole again. No more pain. No more tangled wires in her brain. Her ability to speak coherently, her strength, and her memories restored (I do take comfort that she always knew who we were - we being my husband and I, my sister and her husband, and our children). I hope she is reunited with my father who died suddenly about 20 years ago. What I wouldn't give to see him again! I hope they are together now.
Thank you for stopping by.
In case you stopped by for an update, a funny cartoon, or a photo, please know that I will be back next week. I am currently planning my mom's funeral and working through our grief as a family. Thank you for coming by!
