Flowers and Friends
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your kind condolences. My dad's memorial service was very nice. I loved seeing my family and spending some precious time with my mom.
Now we're home and the lilies are blooming!
The flowers in Washington are so lush. I wish my nasturtiums looked like this!
And along with all the family, these three longtime friends came to my dad's service. Oh, how I loved seeing their faces and getting their comforting hugs. Aren't they sparkly?
I'm thinking about so many things, so many people, and I'm thinking about summer. I am going to think about summer for a good long time.
I am going to think about my dear dad and how much we all love him and how much we will miss him. I'm thankful for so many precious memories. I do believe that grief is very holy. It washes over us and tends to our hearts. It's beyond our control and our mindful sorting. That is good.
Thank you very very much for stopping by.

Thinking of you in this time. Your faith, and God's love, will be near to you at this time.
The flowers are lush.
May his memory always bring you happy smiles Miss Pom Pom !
May he be resting in the arms of angels in heaven xoxoxo
My condolences on your father's passing. I will keep you in my prayers. Your sweet post touched my heart this morning. Thank you.
aww. bless you.
So glad you are back, but glad you had that precious shared time with loved ones. Sending more love!
I have prayed for you and thought about you. You have never left my mine. I was watching the sunset one night and I was thinking the same thought that grief is Holy and it is a special gift that when given, it is easier to feel and live and walk in the presence of God.
I am glad you voiced it today as I have often thought of it that way.
Your flowers are beautiful and so are you.
Welcome home.
What a true-blue hydrangea!! And what beautiful true-blue friends :) Aren't they the best? I'm glad that your time with family was a comfort to you. I know your daddy must be looking at it all from Jesus's side and smiling at the love. And you're very right about grief. I'd never thought of it that way before. We usually grieve about grieving, don't we? How much better to thank God that we CAN grieve, that we have that emotion. It does help the hurting heart.
Much love is being sent you way today. Hugs, Leslie
Hi Pom
oh so glad the your dad's memorial was nice..
love the flowers..
nasturtiums are one of my favs..
hugs.p
Condolences and continued peace and purpose to you....hope you rest comforted amongst God's flowers and under a gentle sky.
Much love to you, PP. I am glad that you are taking time.
I think grief is holy, too. Whenever I feel deeply sad because I'm missing someone terribly, I'm so grateful to have loved so much, to have had such wonderful people in my life. And to have cobwebs and noise and little piddly things cleared out of my head. Do you know what I mean? Grief reminds of what's important--love, connection, God.
Hope you're doing okay, my dear! xofrances
