Wish I could turn back the clock..
But I know I can't. I am realistic about Life. But I think it is okay to wish.Yesterday my oldest daughter got married. The legal part of it. The actual wedding is in two months.
I went to the cemetery in the morning and laid flowers on three graves. My Dad, my late husband and my late parents in law. I was asking myself why I was doing it. Of course I miss them and wish they were here. But more than that I am forever grateful for them being a part of my life.
I didn't mention her of her dad. I just wanted her to be happy. So it was a secret visit to the ones who passed.
I joined CS after my husband's passing. It was a difficult time. There are lots of people who have been kind to me here. I won't mention names. Though we don't talk often on blogs, I am forever grateful to all the wonderful people. You helped me to move on.
Welela, Wallops, KN, Sands. Even Ian who are not in CS any longer. Thank you for your kindness and understanding. I hope all of you are keeping healthy and happy.
Of course there was a troll or two I got to know. Somehow you came to my mind RC. Funny, I feel you will read this.
Life goes on. People come in to our lives for reasons, seasons and life times. Even death does not seem to part the one I once loved, married and had children with. I think it is natural to think of him and feel his absence on days like these.
Wish he was there standing by my side.

She does look very happy!
Memories are good. It's like a map of likes and dislikes, and what to do in familiar situations.
The life goes on. It is a wheel that never stops turning.
I wish we would have met when I invited you in France but who knows, one day maybe.
You are grateful and same as me, I am too, very grateful of the many people I have already met on here and more to meet (I hope). It is a very adventurous part of our journeys in this world. There are so many that are good and then there those that you'd wish wouldn't exist around you, but then that is part of the dynamic we forge and share on this world.
Anyways like Ken said, life goes on. It is turning and every moment we breath is just as significant as that of a lifetime.
Good luck and nice to see you pop once in a while.
