:: sunday ::

it is hard to find words

to say what needs to be said

so we go about our day

finding comfort in simple tasks

and quiet in the fall of light

*****

MrM's father, Thomas, is very ill
please hold him in your heart
:: thank you ::

    There's a special place waiting and he won't be just Resting In Peace when that time comes but Rejoicing In Paradise! A big party awaits and reassuring that we know where he heads to on the next chapter of his journey.

    Sending heartfelt wishes for comfort and healing - for MrM's father and for you all. My own 93-year-old Dad had a very close call in October, and has been in and out of hospital and nursing home since, slowly recovering. He is constantly on my mind, so I empathize deeply with your family's distress. Will be thinking of you all, and sending fond thoughts from across the Atlantic. xoxo

    Is it bad that even from the first line of your posts I held my breath, expecting that kind of ending ...
    I shall pray indeed, with my heart and soul.

    A special hug to MrM, I am thinking of you.

    I am sorry to have missed this post. In the past I have found comfort in the good wishes of friends and strangers through my blog ... we build a community of good mates we may never meet and often don't know we have until we find we can lean on them a little in the hard times. I can only add my heartfelt hope that all will be well. Holding, carefully x
