Memories of Christmas

IMG_0976

The soldier and his family have long since returned to Fort Hood, leaving the “Papa Chair” empty until evening time, leaving our hearts with a longing for more time . . . more time with the grandchildren . . . more time please.

My Bad Alice has returned to work, leaving me without a walking partner once again; without my True North.

Empty arms and an empty house left me feeling a bit . . .

empty for a while.

Yet, look here, all my many blessings, though some are a thousand miles away, all are right here, deep in my heart, frozen in time, in a memory.

And one click on my computer.

Today, Lord, once again, I give you my “busted heart”

and I’m not taking it back this time. 

***Prayers for my Beloved Anne***

"desperate for grace"
I beg to differ,,,you are grace-filled. And it shows.

Your Brawny Man looks extremely happy, as does Ehren, babygirl with Kitty.
Beautiful photos all, and beautiful post.
I so understand your True North.

With prayers for Anne,,,,
