Reenie

Posted by Picasa
The past year was hard. A lot happened. The good, the bad, and the ugly. As I post here, my story will unfurl. I plod along these days having recently had my second hip replacement surgery and then the setback of three pulmonary embolisms. Most people barely survive one - I had three! I miss my mother very much. I do believe in the cliché that she is in a better place. She was a total lunatic, but she was my lunatic and I loved her and miss her. She is at peace now. This photo is of a table in her apartment, which I have repurposed for my own use. This would please her. For the passerby, it's decorated with knickknacks, but they are remembrances of my mother... a little altar, if you will.

Goodness, lady! Glad you are here on the planet with us after all that stuff! :) I think the table is a beautiful little shrine for your mom. I'm sure she would be honored.

Thanks, Carol. I never ever thought I would miss her so much. *It* does get better with time.

Well, those deleted thingys of mine look scary. I was testing to see if I applied my photo correctly. :)

Hmmm, the photo still isn't appearing. I'll deal with this later. :)

Wow, I'm glad you're still around and I hope you are feeling a little better every day.

Treasure your memories Reenie,they will make you sad and make you smile and the ache will always be there...I still miss my mum dreadfully but I know she is with me always and that comforts me.Take care of yourself.

Ms Reenie, I am glad you are still with us and doing well. The alter in your mother's memory is touching. We only have one mom. I lost mine suddenly too. Miss the old gal. Yes, it does it get easier with time. x0x0x0x0

Hugs to you Reenie. I missed you and your pictures and your part of the world. My dad is not keeping well and that all of a sudden made me face a harsh reality ; we all have to go someday. But it isn't easy especially losing loved ones.You know it. Come back when you feel like , come back when you have time .. but come back.
