I’ve been a bit off, and grumpy, for the last little while, and it wasn’t until I was talking with my daughter that I realized the cause…

I hadn’t been paying much attention to the calendar as most of the time feels like Saturday or Sunday now that I am retired, lol…

it has been thirteen years to the day since my beloved passed…

feels a bit like it snuck up on me although in the past month I have had several dreams about finding him in the hospital with a disconnected breathing tube in his mouth… no one had told me he was dead…

seems strange that after all this time I can still be whacked with the grief…

the good news is that once I figure out what has been causing the discomfort, it usually passes and I am able to move forward in a more positive frame of mind…

I don’t forget him, but can get back to remembering all of the wonderful times we had together and make new memories of the wonderful life that I do have…

this photo of trees is one of the last I took with him… we had taken a drive through the park to see the hoarfrost…

so many wonderful memories;-)…

health…

295 York, 65, beloved, big girl pants, death, family, health, March, moments, photographs, sadness, sickness

been thinking a lot about folks who have been dealing with health issues, either sick or injured…

so many people I know have struggled with miserable colds and flu… both of my girls were ill and got sent home on Monday… many friends are just beginning to get over various issues…

the beginning of March is a difficult time for me… can’t help but think back to the loss of my beloved… I’ve been inundated with Facebook memories of things we did in the days just before his death…

have also been working on a project where I’ve been looking through my photographs… am always surprised at how much I have forgotten and the pictures are great reminders of special moments…

  
came across this picture of a Chihuly glass fixture at 295 York… George and I had dinner there a few times when it was still the Lobby on York…

lost my parents when they were both just over 65… George’s dad died around that age and he didn’t make it to 65… for a while I have been wondering if I will make it to 65… looks like I will, lol…

I am feeling healthy and in better shape than I’ve been for years…

although there is sadness, life is good…
