Acceptance

The Grim Ripper, my favorite Halloween decoration.  Thank you Beth!!

Four months short of 13, Lynsey gets her grandmother various types of M + Ms, then tries to eat them all herself.  She bought them on my credit card when I sent her into the store for something.????  Something may be askew here....????

First perfect pencil pouch.

Second perfect pencil pouch.......Oh...well, not so perfect.

In my clouded focus, I had cut off the zipper pull...

Sigh.

The elephant stands on my damaged heart,

My concussed brain's in a vise.

The pileated one pecks to reawaken my joy,

I do not hear him, I am in bed.

The past three nights, I have awakened, realizing that my husband is not in bed  with me.  I wonder if he went to the bathroom or got up early.  Then I remember he has been dead almost 7 years.

He is now my conduit to God.
