Mornings with Mary

My post is dedicated to my cousin Rosemary, who died 
unexpectedly this past Thursday, March 21, 2013 
and to her family.


The verse below was written originally

 for a friend who suffered the death of a son.


Mary, Virgin Mary, Miriam,

Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, 
Or, as she’s called by the faith of Islam, Maryam.
However you address her ,
her aid is nearby.
As has been said before,
and most likely will be again,
these times are hard.
So hard that even as adults, 
we seek our mother’s comforting touch.  
May our loving Mother
bring whatever is needed
for the peace of Christ
To dwell in your family’s hearts and home.



others who share love for 
our Blessed Mother

Dear Norma, I do hope you are feeling the love of this circle of carers. As you say no matter our age we all seek the comfort of mother and especially when one of our immediate family passes, my own mother died on 21 March a week after my youngest son was born, he is 34 now, I still miss her! x

Rosemary once told me that she knew she would go to heaven. Despite her assurance, I am praying for her soul. It bothers me that we don't know why she died. I know that I will have to let it go...

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o
