Missinglisa

It is Lisa's 11th angel day.  I have had candles burning for 3 days.The thought, memory of that day still makes my stomach turn.  We had such hopes and plans for Christmas.This past week has been...

It is hard to believe that the twins are now 4year olds!  They are delightful, feisty little girls who run Granny and Poppa ragged - but we love every minute of it!It is also stressful for us....

So I have written 2 journals that disappeared in to cyberspace.  I checked the drafts and they are not there.I am now 75 - it is hard for me to believe.  The aches and pains remind me.I had a...

I am still bummed that Cevyn and the twins couldn't come and visit last month.  It is Cevyn's birthday tomorrow and we can't go there.  I know - whine whine whine.  I am lucky.  Except for a nose...

I keep reminding myself how lucky I am.  I have a comfortable home, good friends, a loving husband and family.  Having said that, I am having trouble keeping it together.  Too much time to think...

I had a long meandering, introspective, self indulgent journal written and it went off in to cyberspace!  Be thankful my friends!I am sitting here sipping a gin and tonic and having very mixed...

I must confess that I was one who was a bit blase when they began talking about the Corona virus.  We have had outbreaks before but we soldiered through.  Well was I wrong.  I was totally shocked...

Hard to believe.  Joe and I are 'celebrating' 52 years of the best and the worst of times.  It is hard to believe because I really don't feel this old - until I look in the mirror!I can honestly...

10 years.  Dammit.  How can it be???  I am here, Lisa isn't.  I get to enjoy her beautiful grandchildren.  They don't get to know their phenomenal grandmother.  In short it sucks.Of course,...

I just read that FMO on Daily Strength is closing.  It hurts as this is where I came a in the lowest point in my life.  It is where I could let it all out and know I would be understood, and my...

It has been awhile.  It sounds like the retreat was meaningful and a great opportunity for moms to catch up!  I think my retreats from now until whenever, will be to Ottawa to visit my awesome...

I just have to share.  Rose (Amy's mom) and I pick berries in the summer and fall.  We were out picking saskatoons on Thursday down by the river.  It has been a crap year so the berries were not...

Another crappy mother's day without Lisa.  It is such a roller coaster of emotions.  I am so happy for Cevyn - her partner let her sleep in and made her a pancake breakfast so she could have a...

Lisa is 47.  I wonder what she would be doing if she were still earthside.  She was a girl who did not tolerate sameness.  She did so much in her short life.  She never graduated from university,...

I hope Winter is on its way out.  We have had dreadful weather for well over a month.  We were lucky to spend 2 weeks in Puerto Vallarta.  We had a great visit with our friend and her son.  Much...
