You waited for Spring’s arrival…Don’t give up

You waited for Spring’s arrival, I believe
we are standing on hallowed ground
Don’t give up

Pieces…she’s in

  
Alex [BB] gave me these stepping stones for my rock prayer garden. I decided I needed some dirt therapy  this evening. I realized all the stones she gave me were broken into pieces, so I started to throw them out…but something stopped me. After I cleared the weeds, I started putting them back together. I thought to myself this one is my favorite because it reminds me of my girl. She’s in pieces, a little broken, scarred up from this journey, and some of her pieces even missing…but tonight I see there is beauty in the missing. Such grace in the missing. Gee I kind of don’t mind missing at all. 

Whispers like purple velvet soft against my cheek

Whispers like purple velvet soft against my cheek. Yes that kind of day!

My mind wonders and wanders

My mind wonders and wanders
Tickled by thoughts, just thoughts
I watch them fly away
Oh there’s that thought again
My mind wonders and wanders

Rock-A-bye my sweet Moon baby

Rock-A-Bye my sweet Moon baby
When times are tough and
tears your friend
Never forget you matter to me
I rocked you while dragonflies
danced around your head
I held you close
you put dandelions to bed
Never forget you matter to me
Rock-A-Bye my sweet Moon baby
Let it all let fly, fly away…away
Let’s blow them a kiss…
Rock-A-Bye
Rock-A-Bye

Chocolates make everything better I just know it

The first day after all the testing they did on Alex, she was so very sad and wouldn’t stop crying and I thought to myself what  makes me feel better when I’m sad? Chocolate, little chocolate cupcakes. My Pa used to get these little chocolate dollars for me when I was a kid. I really loved that…and I was right because a few minutes later Alex [BB] was crashed.

It worked. I was thankful for that. I spent a lot of time watching her sleep. I don’t know why but I’ve always felt at peace when she is sleeping and resting! Gosh I love this girl!

Thank you for your kindness

  
Finally the long awaited day is here. Tomorrow this time BB and I will be in Rochester, MN to go to the Mayo clinic. Thank you for all your prayers, well wishes and for your words of encouragement. I’ll see you when we get back. Have a blessed week. Much love and big hugs to you! 

Whether it’s 1/2 full

  
Whether it’s 

1/2 full or 

1/2 empty 

It’s still 1/2!

People have so many funny platitudes. This one made me think I want it all not just 1/2. 😄
