Time Passes……
It’s certainly been a while since I have connected with all of you. The last year and a half has been challenging to say the least. In January of 2018 we lost my mother-in-law. We knew it was coming. It was just a matter of time. The sad thing is that before that, in November of 2016, I lost the sweetest, the most funny by far, loving Aunt. She could be the poster child for Acid Aunt. Some of the things she would say left me speechless. I miss the 2 – 3 phone calls a week that lasted around 3 hours each. What can one possibly have to talk about for 3 hours straight? Who knows! We just talked and laughed. When you don’t live close this is what you do. Then one day the phone was silent.The laughter was replaced with tears. The smiles turned to sadness. At times I still look at the phone, reaching to make that call and remember that she’s stirring up trouble for the angels.They really have their wings full with her. Last month we lost my cousin. He had dementia and his health was rapidly deteriorating. I kind of sit back and wonder whose next? Family is a precious thing. You have to hold tight and remember to make every day count. Tomorrow is never promised.
Now that I’m back perhaps my next journey with you will be on a happier note. Maybe 2 or 3 notes. We’ll put a little spring in our step, a smile on our faces and dance the days away. I can hear the sweet songs whispering through the trees…….Sounds good to me
Until the next time…..may your days be bright with laughter and filled with an abundance of love.
