Missinglisa

Well, I made it through another year.  As usual, the holidays were not fun.  We spent Christmas with our neighbours, 2 couples that we know well and who didn't have family to celebrate with.We...

I am a worrier - and mostly I worry others.  I have had a lot to worry about lately.  It is at times like this that I miss Lisa the most.  She was the only person I could call and spill my guts....

I am over my pity party - for now!The news isn't any better but I am coping much better.  There is joy to be had in this world.  Joe and I really don't celebrate the holidays any more but I do...

It has been an emotional few days.  We went to Edmonton to visit with Andrew and Tiina on Lisa's angelversary.  It was wonderful to be together with Andrew and getting serious bear hugs.  That was...

Saturday will be Lisa's angelversary.  How can it be 9 years, and I am still here?  It just sucks.I still think of her when the phone rings when we are in the middle of dinner.  I think of her...

My last journal didn't tell the whole story of our trip to Ottawa.  The day after we got here, Cevyn told me that she and Brendan had broken up.  I was a bit confused as they seemed the same as...

We have had a wonderful time celebrating the 2nd birthday of the twins.  That is the sweet part.  We've played with them in the snow, taken them for walks (okay Joe has taken them for many walks)...

This is me babbling. Feel free to skip it!Air Canada and I are getting pretty chummy.  In a week, we fly to Ottawa to celebrate Arabella and Sierra's second birthday.  I can't wait to cuddle those...

As we were driving to our friend's house for dinner last evening, I got a call from my friend in Thunder Bay.  I grew up there and have several lifelong friends who still live there, many in the...

As I sit here in the quiet, my mind is busy.  I am in Ottawa now.  If you are on Facebook, you can see dozens of photos of our great grandies (Joe goes crazy with his camera nd the girls).  Sierra...

Awhile ago, I called my friend Lorraine if she was interested in going to see the new sequel.  She said she was going to call me because she and Lisa went to see it.  She said "we sat in the front...

This is me babbling again.  Feel free to read or not.  Nothing earth shattering but I just needed to write.Joe and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary on January 20.  We went to Europe for...

My moods have been fluctuating lately.  In a day, I can go from being energetic and somewhat optimistic, to feeling really down and missing Lisa like crazy.  And I get insomnia.  I couldn't get to...

We spent the last week in Thunder Bay (my home town) as my sister is in the hospital.  My sister's family is, for lack of a better term, dysfuntional.  My twin nieces hate each other. One is an...

I miss Lisa's birthdays when she was here and I could talk to her, hear her voice and infectious laugh, give her hugs and tell her what a phenomenal woman she was.  This journey really doesn't...
