Is that at your church? When will that be?
We count our blessings, often. We cry, often.
I bet! That is normal, and healing. My father died when I was young. It hurt like hell, but I figured out that God has a reason for everything. I still don't understand it, but I've come to accept it.
One of our biggest blessings recently went off world. It’ll be a long while ‘til we see his like again, this side of Glory. (sigh!)
It will seem like a long while to you, until you see him, and then the time it took will be immaterial.
*HUGS* I'm sorry we didn't get to know each other better when Sion was still with us.
Oh, Fan! I wish it were your church - It’s at home with daughter, tomorrow. She has class later in the day and an appointment for a chat with a counselor - I have evening Choir practice at 6:45 so we’ll probably eat in two stages: pre outings and post outings. I am hoping she will help me with it - she wants to do the turkey like Sionn did it: on the Weber grill, slowly with radiant heat from baskets of coals below, alongside the bird, with a drip pan underneath the bird. Mizuki-san’s cayenne caper was a wonderful surprise and delicious! It became what we do to turkey ever since. So, I’ll prep the bird, M-s will babysit it, while I make the “rest” of the feast.... we will have fun and remember the good times with Sionn. :-) You can come if you want to, but it’s a long way from Canada. ‘Face and T-C, you can come, too. For that matter, any FReeper who wants to can stop by - but fair warning - the housekeeping has gone south since Sionn left ... Blessings all around. And, FReeper family, if any of you find yourselves near Seattle of the East Side, give us a shout. You are what family is all about. Thank you for carrying us all these long months. We love you for it!!!!!
