One inch squares
It took two years before I could see my dear man out of the Hoyer lift..
The dying  images kinda PTSD you know.
Now I can see him in this plaid shirt..his very favorite.

The I love you Fintan has faded...on the potholder that is
Not ever in the heart!!

Self care...all for me..I will not go down!!
Went to my doc today...she validated my angst...whew...
Going to my grief therapist ...he validates my angst.
TBTG  I have friends who have really stuck by me...
My quilting friends..and blogging friends..
They may not understand....they are.non-judgmental..
They spell love...T..I..M..E..xo
They are here...so lucky me.

More joy..a great talk with my lovely daughter on the phone.
She does not really need a dog...she has a squirrel in her attic!!

And, my son came to visit...and was in great shape..
He is such a great dad...for 3 hours...
Playing hide and seek, giving hugs and kisses..
Putting the children to bed with prayers and stories.
We all love him so.
What more can a mommy ask for??

I love these links.
