Almost a New Year

One more day in 2008...hard to believe it is almost a year since my life partner of 50 years made his journey to heaven. All of us Christ followers look forward to heaven, wouldn't it be great if the journey to get there wasn't so painful.
Christmas with the family was very different...memories shared...old belongings given to our children in memory of their dad...grandchildren read the Christmas story that Bapa always read.
I did not think I could do it but I did.....God does not give us grace or peace until we need it.
Home is comforting to me...maybe because I have been a homemaker for so long...surounded by memories feels SAFE somehow right now.

  1. That's one thing that Dad appreciated so much about you, Mom. He loved coming home. You made him a peaceful, cozy spot to unwind from the world outside. Thanks for being such a great mom and wife.
