Where are my boots?
Snow day and no school. Go back to bed Rabbit.
I have to go to work.
No, Daddy will make you breakfast.
That’s okay, I’ll clean it up later.

Good, how about you?
So what did they say?
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I know, I know.

But…
Well, we knew it might turn out like that.
Okay.

Love this. Can’t put my finger on why … but love it.
:(
Your heartbreaking post mimics a day in my life exactly one year ago. I lost my sister to cancer on Jan. 3rd. It was one of the two most difficult things I have ever faced, the other being the loss of my dad a couple of years before. My family lives 600 miles away, so my life was torn as I needed to be in two places at one time.
But, the details of life come flowing back over the pain. Happiness and joy return and we grow stronger and more caring because of it. The baton is passed to us to carry on the legacy of our family.
I’m very sorry for your sad news.
My heart is breaking for you….and your family. But make this the best Christmas you will ever have. The memories will be something you can savor forever….all jumbled up in the every day stuff.
Oh my dear, I am so sorry. We are still with you.
So, sorry Mary. I’m with you too.
Thinking of your whole family…

Keep breathing. Nice deep breaths.
Mary. I am so so so so sorry. Hugs and peace and clarity and love.
