So sorry! Some memories do hurt, as this must, too.
Still, you did have a good time with her just before you left, and that's really something to be happy about.
I am sorry for your loss. What a beautifully vivid image of a beautiful person in your life! Taking a "mind photograph" is something I have done before, too.
I've been banned from ladders too. In 2021 I fell off a ladder 11 steps down, broke both of my feet painting the trim on our house before we sold it. I made the move to Las Vegas with my feet in air casts and crutches.
I would outsource window washing at this point, the list may grow as I age.
Yes, I agree.
I've let go of many things, but only after bugging myself for a few minutes or so. Yes, letting go helps most of the time, within reason.
And I remember that case. That is something I can't wrap my mind around, though. That man must have been a saint.
I, too, am very reluctant to ask for help. My sons, especially the younger one, are always ready to help, but I don't ask them unless they ask me if I need this or that to be taken care of.
I hope your daughter heals and feels a lot better so you won't have to worry so much. I can see how difficult it is to be a parent especially in your case. Hang in there!
If animals could talk, which animal would you want to have a conversation with? What would you ask?
Nearly bedtime, just spotted the prompt before I turned out the light. So I’m not much of a conversationalist with humans at this time of the day never mind with animals🤣
Well it would have to be my dog Lucy. For the last two weeks we’ve been dog sitting our daughter’s dog, Gigi. She (the dog) is a crazy nine month old, very active, really destructive, has stolen Lucy’s favourite teddy and chewed it up and generally been a pest. Lucy has been super patient with her. She’s eight years old. However she’s looked at me often this week, with a look that I thought said, “when is this thing going home?”
Today Lucy has moped around the house, she seems lost without Gigi. I would ask her if she misses her or is happy for a peaceful household again.
