" Life is short so go on and live it "

If you listen to country music you've heard the above mentioned line and countless others like it.  After Dad died, I didn't think I'd ever care to post on this site again.  So many things in our lives changed and took a back seat.  But, life does go on.  You do find yourself laughing over a silly, reading a good book, designing a new bag, planning trips and so on.

Even though the ground hog says it aint so...it looks like spring in our part of the world.

Being Saturday, and beautiful, Hubby Honey offered to take me on a trip.  Whoo hooo!  I do love a trip now and again.  I quickly packed the things I thought were essential. 

Cookies, water, tangerines and nuts!  Oh! And the camera! 

Away we go!

And here's what we saw...

We had a lovely time!

Did we travel in style? 

Of course!

Thank you Hubby Honey for helping me to remember that...

Life goes on!

Experience

We learn just about everything we know about daily life through experience.

• how to...walk
• talk
• ride a bike
• dress
• chew gum and not to swallow it
• play well with others
• work
• love

On Wednesday, November 23, I began to learn the lesson of grief.  


My Dad died unexpectedly at 11:05 that night.  I've experienced death before many times.  But never the death of a parent.   We all know that death will come, however, that knowledge does nothing to get us prepared for the heart wrenching, I can't breath pain that follows.

I have so many reasons to be thankful and I will share them with you one day soon. For now the grief is too strong and has clouded everything I think and see.  I know the fog will lift and the memories will be sweet and when that happens I will be able to share the life of,  for me...

...the Best Dad Ever!
