“The risk of love is loss,
and the price of loss is grief -
But the pain of grief
Is only a shadow
When compared with the pain
Of never risking love.”

Today would have been our Wedding Anniversary.........I do try and keep fairly upbeat on this blog so I'll just say that this week has been a "blue" week.....nothing to do with the course (that's going fine)...it's just been one of those weeks when problems and memories have crowded in and it's taking me a while to "pick myself up and brush myself off". I won't be posting for a few days while I sort myself (and the garden) out, write up my course notes plus spend some time doing some much overdue blogvisiting. Tonight Leanne is coming over and we'll have a takeaway and a couple of drinks...hope you all have a good weekend yourselves.
Hello Ruth
ReplyDeleteI know I can't imagine how you must be feeling today but this is just to say that I think you are a very brave lady.

We take life for granted. We all need to open our eyes and realize who we are blessed with because none of us are promised tomorrow. My prayers are with you. Enjoy your memories and have your cry, it soothes the broken heart.
