In any other year, I would have spent the weekend (or some of it) at a bookstore, or at the Antique Mall, and the past week would have entailed anxiously watching for the UPS guy bringing eBay treasures.
I usually bought books for Jim, or vintage telephones, or CDs...
God, I miss him!
I'm sorry for what you have been through. Life, at times, just isn't fair.
ReplyDelete((hugs)) - nothing I can say.
ReplyDeleteI love you JT hang in there here if you need me.........breeze
ReplyDeleteDo not stand at my grave and weep
ReplyDeleteI am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
-Mary Frye
I'm so sorry, Ronni. Just one of many to come, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteNessa, that is a beautiful poem.
Ronni (Vero), I am so sorry to learn of Jim's passing. I don't know the complete story, but was shocked to read words indicating that he is gone.
ReplyDeleteI am Jeannie (formerly of Misfits and I met you at a gathering of we gals about 3 years ago in Austin)and it has been a LONG time since I've checked in here (or Lorettas). Sigh. I am so sorry for your loss. He is with you in Spirit, I do know.
Hugs,
Jeannie
It is so good to hear from you, Jeannie! I've missed you.

He is most definitely here in Spirit!
