So much weight to this one, Andrea - really sunk me a little deeper into my own grief I’m going through for my father-in-law who passed away suddenly last February. He was like a second father to me and a great friend also. And to me being also a foreigner in this country (my husband’s native Portugal), that meant a lot to be so accepted and loved by him and my mother-in-law like their daughter. The thing I regret most is my daughter only knowing him for the first year of her life. He was her biggest fan.
It's so tough losing someone that cares about you so deeply. I'm sorry your daughter didn't get to spend more time with him. Big hugs to you and your family <3

Thank you so much for your comment. I'm so sorry to hear you lost you Persian. It's so hard to lose a pet, I love mine like children so I know there is so much grief in their loss. Sending warm hugs for you.

More than trees know their fallen—
what you have written here
is as if God Himself was callin’.
Grief comes in
like a winter wind,
in the tide of gratitude
given for where you have bin’.
Thank you for your kind comment. ❤️❤️ and for reading! 📖
This was Lucy’s favorite part- “I do know that the rhythm of one foot and then another.
Matches the drumming of my heartache.
As I say again, and again and again.
Goodbye ...”
The cadence matches the experience— it feels embodied.✨💙
Lovely

Very nice. I wish we had more solstice snow at the moment!
Same! I was lucky to get a good picture of the snowy mountain tops last week but they aren’t as snowy now :(
Oh,…. This is lovely. My Persian
just passed 4 days ago, she was a rescue I had gotten her when she was 3. She was 7 the last time I held her warm body. <3
Keep on writing, you’re making emotional waves!!!!
