I love to dry roses, once they are ready to live on
Today my kitchen is full of roses in wait!

 

A better place~Glen Campbell

I started blogging because of the lose of my Pa, and the Alzheimer’s, being his caregiver in the end watching his lose who he was and ultimately who I was. I remember in the early stages I was telling him about how I felt and I saw the blank look on his face…I misunderstood it as apathy but it wasn’t, when someone has Alzheimer’s they forget how people feel, they forget how they feel, they forget the human connection and simply react to the feeling of always wanting to go home. I’m thankful my Pa considered me home. I am sometimes afraid to look at his death, because it is painful, but it’s a good kind of pain, the kind of pain that brings healing.

I am so touched by Glen Campbell’s story cause my Pa felt much like this!

Love me and hide me

Lay down beside me
love me
hide me
kiss all the hurting
of this world away
hold me so close
that I feel
your heart beat

don’t ever wander away

Held

Would you like to witness a beautiful moment?

From A Quiet Prayer

I love these quiet prayers they are timeless and also very healing remembering where we came from and picking up and holding as we were held! So beautiful Laurie! ❤

I was sitting here talking to you and I noticed the sky…
as the sky said goodnight I walked outside to answer
goodnight sun, goodnight clouds, goodnight sky
I never want to miss you!

My eyes adore you~Adored I feel

THE RED CARPET OF HOPE~Inspiration from my Uncle

TheRedCarpetHope copy

I walk the red carpet of hope,
I take it with me wherever I go.
It’s not that I don’t have the faith you see,
But hope is just the weakest in me.

I’ve had this carpet for a very long time,
For it helps me through the rough to tow the line.
It has taken me through peaks and valleys did you know,
For I find it is always in the valleys that I grow.

There are days filled with troubles and strife,
Impossible journeys throughout this life.
I have learned to take the best possible paths there can be,
And just a little help from my carpet of hope and me.

And though my carpet is old, faded, and wearing thin,
It has helped me grow in leaps and bounds, courage from within.
Now I walk with God, who’s courage and faith has filled me so,
But I will forever cherish the days, I walked the red carpet of hope.
