It still hurts. So many things unsaid, undone or unfulfilled. The void remains. The pain, the sorrow and the sadness are all abating...just as everyone promised. The tears are no longer a daily event.
Tomorrow evening would have been the night of Grace's yearly Christmas party. The big event. Her pride. Her indomitable spirit once more at stage front. Oh, and her cooking! Not to be.
For the second time I will spend the holiday season in the place we both loved. Where there are only good memories. Warm, happy, laughing, joyous times and events. Hopefully, with more to come.
The future brings change that I so look forward to. Spot and I will be starting our grand trek. We will find out her opinion on life in a 36' RV! Obviously, the next Holiday season will fall very much in the "who knows" category. My postings will continue...from the road.
I hope that each of you enjoys the season with laughter, warmth, happiness and good health...all in excessive amounts!
Would appreciate updates from you (all) upon occasion...perhaps a blog in your future?

This is my on line "Collector's Cabinet". It is non-profit and haphazard at best. I leave it to you to sort through and make sense of.The views are mine. The collection reflects some of my interests. But the material must be credited to the vast internet. Otherwise, I never would have been able to amass such a treasure trove. The purpose of this exercise is entertainment, naturally mine, but even more so yours. So, please let me know if anything strikes a chord with you.
Hi, Ma,
ReplyDeleteWe miss her as well and will always do so. The Christmas parties she threw were great.
When will you leave for Rome?
