Bags made by Linda in my favorite African fabrics, delivered today for my birthday.
My cup runneth over. They are so beautiful. I love them so. Will try for a better picture in the daylight.
My 2021 tree ornament.
Clever parents. It was decoupaged on a slice of stump from last year's Christmas tree.
Very creative to my point of view. Aoife 16 months.
Aoife's daddy's idea of a Christmas photo in front of the tree.
I gasp and Aoife loves it!!!
Grandma and Aoife. She sat with me only because of "Wheels on the Bus" and "Old MacDonald",
but, I will take anything. Aoife is a doll.
My daughter and SIL have done everything they can to ease my stress. The garage, the heaps of laundry of clothes too small for the children.....loads to Goodwill, the neighbor next door for their church, several trips to the shredder and cooking...always wonderful cooking.
I am relieved. I am grateful. I feel supported and loved.
There is nothing to be done about my grief with my son's choices, but my daughter's visit has given me a lifeline of survival and support.
Joy...the wonderful feeling of joy!!
