Good morning sweet friends, how is your week going so far?
Mine has been good, though a little shadowed with sadness, since today would have been my mother in law's birthday.
She was turning 70 years old and we were so excited to celebrate it with her. Instead, we know she is having a huge celebration in Heaven.
We will however, be meeting my father in law and mom's sister for lunch today. It will be a nice way to honor her and to spend some time together. We will then head over to the cemetery to place some flowers on her grave.
In the meantime, I keep wanting to come in and put up a post, and life just keeps chucking that idea right out the window. So I'm doing it a little different this morning, and putting up a little post that I used to do way back when.
My long time followers will no doubt remember.
Have a wonderful blessed day everyone :)

Those first birthdays after someone passes are hard, and I think a landmark birthday has to be worse.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this post!
The year of firsts are always the hardest. Prayers for comfort.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great YouTube suggestions. Followed several here and on Instagram.
ReplyDeleteThat first year or two grieving someone had always been the hardest for me. I hope y’all are able to find comfort in each other’s company as the holidays progress.
