"To be happy you must let go of what's gone. Be grateful for what remains. Look forward to what is coming." (Author Unknown)
Hello, my lovely friends!
First off thank you for all the prayers and well wishes. It means so much to me to have all the prayers, love and support. It’s a little scary thinking about the whole thing and what could happen. But I’m remaining positive about everything until I know what is happening for sure.
Next Sunday is the 7 year anniversary of my Dad’s death. Seven years doesn’t seem like a lot of years, but it feels like it. Our plan is to go see him on Sunday. My mom has her moments here and there about him. At least now she had somewhere to go to feel whole. My mom has talked about him more this past week and cried more. I know that this will never leave her, but I wish that she wouldn’t feel the guilt and hurt so much. I so like that she opens up about their relationship especially the dating part. My dad really went after her and knew she was the one for him. It took my mom some convincing because she had a boyfriend that was horrible to her. My dad just hung around waiting for him to mess up and he did. I’m very happy he did too.
So, did any of you feel that earthquake the other day? My sister felt it and said things fell off the shelves and her cat was crying. I have some online friends who also felt it. That had to be a little bit scary especially over there. Our weather has been a little bit of everything. We were in the 70’s and sunny, cold and windy and even some snow. That was all in one week. It’s crazy how confused the weather is. We just getting all kinds od different kind so weather. It’s still too early to think the snow won’t be back here, We still have another month of it.
Thank you so much for stopping by today.
I wish you a good morning, afternoon or evening wherever you are.
Talk Soon…

It has been 21 years since my dad past of a broken heart. Huge hugs my friend.
ReplyDeleteI know Allie it never goes away. It just finds a place to live inside you.
DeleteEnjoy the day! (((BIG HUGS)))
May you find comfort in the memories you made together. 🤗💖
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanne! It's going to be a hard week, but we have each other.
DeleteHave a wonderful day! (((BIG HUGS)))
It's Kathy. It will be 21 years of missing my dad this August and I miss him as much now as I did the day he left us. But life goes on, doesn't it. I think it's good that your mom is sharing her memories of him with you. That can only be helping both of you and you get to see a side of your dad that you didn't experience. I'm happy to hear that you're staying positive! That's the best think you can do! Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I had another thought. I can't believe it's been more than 7 years that we've been friends! WOW!!!
DeleteI know it amazes me how long we've all been friends here.
DeleteThe heartache just finds a place to live inside us. We're doing well and just taking each day as it comes. I'm enjoying learning things about the two of them. Staying positive with everything.
Enjoy your day! (((BIG HUGS)))
Anniversaries of events, good and bad, strike people differently. I'm one who is somewhat sensitive to timing. Or at least keenly aware of "yes, on this date, X years ago, Y happened". This is especially true for losses. Parents, brother, in-laws, nephew... re-living the memories. Keeping the happier ones is easier as time goes on, letting go of the less happy ones also easier.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your mom has you to share these things with. My mom talked a lot to her children as we moved from teens to adulthood, about many things. I'm glad she did, because when I got to certain points in my life I was prepared. But of course there were gaps... "why did nobody warn me that..." spots in a lifetime!
May the week leading up to this significant anniversary be gentle on you and your mom!

It's going to be a hard week for us, but we have each other and it works for us. I love having the talks with my mom. I've learned some new things.
