Your husband gave the ultimate sacrifice. It is fitting he should be remembered along with all the other veterans who do the same. Blessings. xx
A fitting, sobering, heartrending tribute, Nonnie...

Dear Nonnie, This post touches me deeply. Someone asked me this weekend if with time it gets easier... I replied, not easier, but I am more able to live and cope with such a great loss and live with the grief. And I have to say... there is more space in my heart for love...

One thing I read in the early weeks after Charles died, a quote I liked said, "One does not get over someone's death, but you learn to carry on with life." I like your image of having more space in your heart for love because I think that is true. I have had two great-granddaughters born since he died. Bless you, dear Lea.

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

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
