Haiku My Heart: Courage


heavy are our hearts
with the sacrifice of men
who showed such courage!


The holiday
we just celebrated
was tinged
with a plaintive  air
considering the loss of
those elite firefighters
who gave their all
in battling the awful fires
in Arizona.

May Mary, the mother
of us all and Her Son
bring solace to
the families.

of the heroic firefighters,

Lovely tribute to them.

thank you so much nonnie for your love, prayers and compassion.
here in Prescott, Az. this has been a devastating week to navigate. on friday after posting haiku my heart we went to the courthouse for the annual kiddie parade. nothing prepared us for the amazing honoring these children all came together to offer to our town. i redid my haiku page with photographs of the youngest of prescott offering their hearts as only children can. sunday standing outside on the road into prescott as each young man returned home was overwhelming in the enormity of loss striking so many families. it is heart warming to see our community come together in a force of love for all those torn apart by the enormity of loss. the courage and strength of the wives is humbling to say the least. yesterday while spending the day at the infusion center i learned that our local hospital is going to take care of the medical expenses for the three deliverers of the yet to be born children of the three fallen "new" dads on the hotshot crew. so kind, and so heart wrenching all at once.

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
