It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time.

I am sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine the amount of pain you are in but I am so glad you have the loving support of family and friends. I have only recently begun reading your blog so we don't know each other but I am sending prayers and virtual hugs your way. Mike is proud of you I am sure.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you're having to go through such a sad time, but you're lucky to have friends and family supporting you.
ReplyDeleteThe photo montage of Mike's life is a special touch. Hope you are well and enjoying some time outdoors. I think of you often.
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy seeing the photos of Mike's life. I do think of you. Take care, dear Olga.
ReplyDeleteA Navy man!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes. He had a most interesting life journey.
DeleteYour photos are very sad of course, yet beautiful. Life, love, and good memories celebrated.
ReplyDeleteThe photo you posted of yourself and Mike several posts back I found to be especially touching. Just a regular old photo of an ordinary couple but extraordinarily in love. That photo broke my heart, but oddly in a good way. For me that photo speaks of optimism. Love like that just can't possibly end. There has to be something more than just this. You will be with Mike again.
Thank you for posting the photo of you and Mike, it was simply lovely. God bless you Olga.
We were very much in love and very happy together. I am glad that came through in pictures.
