Letting Go - Laura
I did not want to go.
I did not want to
face it.
But I went
to visitation.
I handled it better than
I thought I would.
I needed to go.
I needed to face that
I actually lost a friend.
Lots of friends from
there. They came to be
there for the family.
They came to say
goodbye to Laura.
Today will be the actually
day I will say goodbye.
Just being there and being
strong for the family and
I will be fine.
We think we have
time!
In the past years women,
friends, school friends would
get together and have dinner.
After the death of Laura's
hubby 3 weeks ago we
planned on a get together.
We were going to give
Laura time then we
were going to have an
angel paint party.
We thought we had time!
We are working on
calling these ladies
together to paint,
donations going to St. Judes.
This is the fund Laura
and family wanted donations
to go too instead of flowers.
So Friday after Laura's
passing on Thursday, I
needed to be alone.
I needed to work off
things. I needed to create.
I elected to work on
Christmas ornaments I
make for my family.
I have been doing that
off and on through the yr.
Here is what I produced
Friday.
Niece's hubby- Adam
Nephew ~ Chase
My new great nephew ~ Colton
And yes, I do one every yr
for my babes.
My son in law~ Will
he is a Jets fan so his
is done in Jets colors.
I still have more to go...
faimly keeps growing by
marriage or births.
So....what would
yours read?
Mine was a conversation with
another friend Carol~
Thank u sweetie.
Love u.

In 2002 I lost my best friend, Kay. Her son asked me to do the eulogy; I thought there was no way I could do. I did. :(
I love your ornaments you're making; as always I'm amazed at your gifts you are blessed to have.

it is good to talk and write about the loss of your friend. I think it helps to deal with the loss and heart aches. creating is perfect to relax and help you heal.
Creating... A wonderful way to handle such....
Many, many hugs....
You are so crafty. Beautiful.
Have a blessed day. ♥
It never ceases to amaze me the inner strength that can be found at times like this.
God bless
All the best Jan

My last text? Let me see... It is, and I quote, "OK". I could live with that on the tombstone I'll never have. (Planning to be cremated.)
