There I found the unspeakable sorrow you and your family suffered in May and have been dealing with this summer. I have not experienced such a terrible loss, although it has certainly occurred to me that it could happen. None of us is immune. I am so sorry for your loss.<br />We do have things in common. I am a retired teacher, I love to garden, I have traveled Germany and Austria, as well as England, Scandinavia, France, Belguim and the Netherlands. Also, my grandchildren live far away from me, in Fort Morgan, Co.Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041834369094012241.post-85462419177582835682010-09-21T07:58:21.394-06:002010-09-21T07:58:21.394-06:00Beautifully expressed. :)Beautifully expressed. :)Lyniluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742585512852240355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041834369094012241.post-40607582992345736262010-09-21T00:43:56.519-06:002010-09-21T00:43:56.519-06:00I love the picture on the back fence.

I hope eventually that my two granddaughters will have some cousins so they can have those same memories.<br /><br />Bittersweet is such a good way to describe your summer. You are blessed to have the family support, even if they aren't just around the corner.#1Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214011945298439939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041834369094012241.post-61746505099274030022010-09-20T21:59:43.117-06:002010-09-20T21:59:43.117-06:00I love you mom.
