I am incredibly far behind. I find it hard to sit at the computer for more then 10 minutes at a time. It seems whenever I do I start getting pulled in to many directions. So I just don't start. Life has been normal as always. It's busy then not, then exciting and then not. Mostly I like my life. I would change some things, but wouldn't?? Is there someone who wouldn't? Point being although my life seems like it is the only one excisting it really isn't. So I will do what I do best and post pictures for my memories with headings that will jar my memory sometime down the road. I am not witty and creative nor do I pretend to be.
I learned on December 30, that a woman that is very dear to me had passed away unexpected. Roscoe learned at while at work but kept the info to himself until he was able to tell me in person. I was shocked and heartbroken. This woman came into my life and became a fast and unexpected friend. She taught me love by example. She was one of two women that played a main role in Rosoce and I being sealed and me wanting to come to a Church that often felt full of unkind people. SHe was a continuous example of love, kindness and friendship. I will always be grateful for what she taught me and who she will always be to me.
Her passing shaped my New Years. I grieved in silence, because of my family. It felt uncomfortable to mourn for someone who was so dear to me but only few knew how dear she was to me. SHe knew. SO I kept my heartbreak and tears to myself. I didn't want someone who didn't understand to try and make it ok. It wasn't ok. I always am suprised at how a day can change in a second and how you can be here then not. I grateful for the conversations I had with her and for listening and being able to talk to her days prior. She will continue to touch my life and I believe the lives of many others.
Teaching by love ,example and laughter
