Normally, I only say happy things on this blog. This is sort of my
sunshine and roses spot. I have another place that I give news of a more
serious nature, but here I like to keep it to more of the stereotypical happy
place. Today, however, I feel like putting something up here, and
decided to tell you what has been happening in my life for the past
year.
So, here I am. Outside, eating watermelon, drinking wine, and waiting for the quiche to get out of the oven. And thinking. Thinking about the past year, and about trying to find our, "new normal."
Just about this time last year, my dear darling hubby started having health issues. After about a month, he was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma, a rather nasty form of skin cancer. He was given 4-6 months, and surprised all the docs by living over a year. Alas, all things must come to an end, and my hubby of 28 years passed away last week. So, here I am. Outside, eating watermelon, drinking wine, and waiting for the quiche to get out of the oven. And thinking. Sigh....

If you need anything at all, you know we are always here. We love you, and miss him. Adjusting to the new version of normal is never easy. You are surrounded by lots of people that love and care about you. Much love to you and the boys, L..
ReplyDeleteDearest Lori. We all feel your loss, and we will be thinking of you and sending you prayers and hugs. Take your time to adjust and to find yourself again. We will be here, patiently waiting and even willing to carry you when you need it. All the best for you and the family.
ReplyDeleteI am very sorry to hear this. I wish you all the best. My thoughts are with you and your family in this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteLori, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Love and hugs from your friends out here in the blogosphere. Thoughts and prayers are being sent your way!
ReplyDeleteLori, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Please know that you have many friends here, holding your hand through this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteDearest Lori, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. My heart goes out to you and your boys. Do take your time to settle into normal again. Don't forget we are here...
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad. Know that I'm thinking about you. Life doesn't always go the way we think it's going too. Sometimes it's so short and and, a lot of the time, it can be very unhappy.
ReplyDeletePlease don't feel that you always have to write about "happy" things on your blog. We all share the good and the awful. You have a community of blogging friends that care.
I send my prayers and wishes for you and your family.
Oh Lori...I am so sorry for your loss. Big transitions on the horizon for you, I'm sure...know that we are all here for you, and offering up our love and our prayers.
ReplyDeleteLife is such a precious fragile short bit of time for us humans, never knowing when it will come to an end. One more reason to live well...(((HUGS))) for you....
Dearest Lori - Of course we have never met but thankfully this crazy Internet has allowed us to interact and get to know each other a little bit. As the others have said, if there is a way we out here in Blogland can help or support you we are more than willing. Your life has changed drastically and will be different from now on. I am sending my thoughts and prayers to you that you will come through this most difficult period and be able to again experience some happiness and contentment. Hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea...I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Please let me know if you need anything...I'm only minutes away. Take care of yourself. You are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI love the picture that you used. Those little munchkins are men now and the hairstyle is a memory. The memories of Geoff are tucked in your heart.
ReplyDeleteLinda (I still love your purses. Both Minnie and the chicken one.)
Lori, I am finally getting around to checking our your blog and all that you do and am saddened to hear you have lost your best friend. I am praying for you to be able to deal with this loss, and thinking of you :)
