Last evening marked one month since his passing. Emotions were big at times. Grateful he’s no longer in pain or struggling with dementia and has joined those who were waiting for him on the other side. We miss him, however, we know he is happy.
Good, Better, Great!
Gatherings — our family always had a December gathering to celebrate the holidays. We’ve scaled things back a bit since Mom passed, however, this year, with the help of a few members of the family, we are scaling back up again. Not quite ready to pass the torch yet to the next generation, but I think that will be the case in just a couple of years. It would be nice to formalize the organization a bit — and make sure that the traditions we hold dear continue with the cousins and beyond.
Find the “good” in your day.
Open your eyes
Open your eyes to the opportunities that are yours today.
Had a few low points yesterday. Sure missing him. I really did expect to see him sitting in the chair yesterday when we walked through the door with lots of surprises for decorating the tree. He liked to watch the transformation and this year was to be a good one. I’m sorry he’s missing it in person, but I’d like to think he’s smiling as he watched things unfold yesterday. We didn’t finish yesterday, but we might be able to get it done today with a few additions that he would definitely approve of.
