Do you ever think that the world is spinning and you need a reset button? I'm right there. We got a call Sunday night that Tom's not quite 64 year old "big" brother had been found dead. We now know that he had a 90% blockage in his heart - but he was taking meds for cholesterol and we all thought it was under control. He was very big on the music scene here in Cincinnati so they are laying him out and the whole nine yards.
Tomorrow morning I have to go to a funeral for a friend from church's husband. He had been ill for quite some time. Then Ted's layout. Friday morning will be a service and then we will bury him in plot by his mother and father. On Saturday I have the memorial service for my friend's son that overdosed last week.
I haven't had a camera in my hands - and that doesn't help my soul much either. I just had to stop in and say that I haven't given up - just discombobulated as my Mother used to say. Tell the folks that you love that you love them - who knows when it will be the last time? Oh, I love you all. I really do.
I do agree - we think it but its important to say it - and to touch and hug! Sad time for you as it has been for us these last few months. Four funerals. I feel like the gravestones are my friends! A rather interesting scene in that crystal ball!
What a horrible week+ this has been for you. It's a time when you find out just how strong you can be - do be open to taking that hug as well as giving them. Here's one from Arkansas - I do like your pictures - photography is a wonderful escape when time allows. And it will again.
Oh, Cathy! what a year you have had! My heart aches for you! God never gives you more than he can trust you with but I'll bet right about now you wish He didn't trust you so much! Praying for you daily.
Poor Cathy, you have so much going on! I hope things settle down soon for you! I've been having heart palpitations and today had a street test and got my results after wearing a halter monitor for 24 hours. All news is good and my stress has lifted! I hope yours does soon! Your bubble is marvellous!
So sorry for your loss, but wouldn't it be great to actually celebrate christmas with christ? Not sure how you believe, but maybe that thought will help you.
cathy, i am very sorry for your loss and my sincere condolences to your family. amid all the chaos you still found the time to choose and post a beautiful photograph. it is good to indulge yourself with what makes you happy; it reduces thd stress and keeps you refreshed. take care of yourself, first and foremost.
This is a spectacular image that I had to FAV
