Memories

Memories of loved ones are like songs in our soul.
Margaret Wakeley

It has been wonderful to open my email each morning and see such words of wisdom. Thanks again, Aunt Helen, for sending me the information to receive the "Word of the Day" from www.gratefulness.org

I kept quite busy yesterday; a doctor's appointment for myself finally, a visit to my financial planner in Butler, a few phone calls, email, Facebook and finished the day by going to a fish fry at the Sue Miller residence. Dan, Nic and Jason caught many fish at Colangelo's pond and we devoured them last night. It was a good day and I slept all night!!

I think about Todd so many times during the day; little bits and pieces of our lives come to me and I smile. I miss him so much but I am happy that he is 'home'. He was never scared to die, his thoughts were of my being left here. He would tell the nurses that was his only 'worry' about dying; 'Will Julie be okay without me?' I am surviving, honey. I will be okay. I have been given a gift of strength. With my many friends and family, I will survive this roller coaster ride of life.

It is thundering out, bringing rain I hope. Rain is good for the plants, the grass and for making tears!! I could cry today and it will look like rain on my face!
