The drawing above is a draft of a card from our family, to be sent out at Christmas in the early 1990's. I see the bright happiness and sweetness of our family reflected in this graphite sketch. How life has changed since those long ago days.
Three years ago, right about this moment, Alan was being rushed to the hospital to take his last breaths.
That day is emblazoned upon my heart and into my eyes. I miss my Beloved. There is a certain heart hunger for his presence which will always be a part of my life.
I am SO thankful to have shared this great adventure with my husband. What wonderful fun we had. Such tussles we had--a great love with all the ingredients of life--laughter, tears, sweetness, anger, work, companionship, love. My family and I have been blessed.
I am grateful to God for bringing Alan into my life. My Beloved put the flavor into living. I grieve, I always will. But there is so much for which to be thankful. Blessings to you all, dear ones.
