Missinglisa

As we all know, special days bring back memories - sweet memories and painful memories.  I find it hard to focus on the sweet.  I am always reminded that we are no longer making memories with...

I can smile now.  Life is a little calmer - my friend who was in an abusive relationship is starting to get herself together.  And my SIL and his new partner left today.  They should be on the...

Another Easter without Lisa.  It is really hard because her birthday was on the 20th.I am trying to be positive for the rest of the family but Joe and I are both feeling down.  We spent a couple of...

It is 39 years since Lisa arrived on this earth.  She was the light of my life.  She always did things her way.  She crawled up the basement stairs at 6 months old and took her first steps at 7...

So it is Monday again.  It is smiley because I am at home and the sun is shining.  There is still snow on the ground but at least we have sunshine.I am also smiling because my granddaughter arrives...

I have been whining and complaining about our snow.  Then I turned on the television and saw the destruction in the Southern States.  I will take the snow!  I feel so sad for those who have lost...

I really could not bring myself to journal on Monday.  I didn't feel like I had anything to smile about.  I was visiting my brother who is in the hospital waiting while the doctors decide what the...

It is a lovely day in the Ottawa Valley.  We are going to a sugar bush of friends of Lisa and Harvey's.  They are tapping the trees the old fashioned way.  I have been to modern ones but this will...

I thought I was doing better.  Not today, or the last few days for that matter.  I have been crying almost non stop.  Joe said he is starting to get worried.  So many emotions.We visited Niagara...

The sun is shining and we are off to see Niagara Falls!  It is Cevyn's spring break so we are taking her to see the falls and perhaps across the border to shop!Have a great week! 

I am thankful that I had a safe flight and now I am in Ottawa with my beautiful granddaughter and her dad.  It is always hard coming here, and more so this time because I knew they have been...

I am feeling down tonight.  I have a cold which I thought was getting better but I am still snuffling and am keeping the tissue companies in business.I just started to feel very sad and weepy and...

I am back home after a lovely time on the West Coast. However, I feel worse than ever.  I am sure part of it is that it is the first of the month and Lisa died on December 1, 2009.  I also have a...
