Measure your life in "moments"

 

 

We have sun----  with mosquitoes--I had to put Lopez's jacket on him this morning as the  bugs were flying  all over him--and on me-also--but--bless his heart, he did his business-----I had to walk a long way tho----He sure will miss Tyson, our dughter's dog--They played and played together--
Tyson is the little black guy--The blond doggie  is Gerrard, Son#2's dog---For having so many dogs visiting Gramma (that is me!)- they were not a problem at all--just part of the family--so much better than boarding them. And, they loved the lake!

It is SO hard to see them go---She will stay in Gaylord   to-night---en route to Ohio to-morrow. We all had the best time ever!---It was so much fun to "ALL" be together--even the dogs enjoyed it! 

-

and it all began with the above man- My Grandfather, holding my oldest brother, who is now in a LTC care place--and above, these 2 Ladies----  my Grandmother on my Moms side, who I never knew---
This is Himself's Dad--Watson- with Himself's one sister--Auntie May---So, we are one of many--- Don't you jess wish you could call these people up---chat with them about their lives?-----What were their biggest problems?--- How did they overcome all of them?--
I always feel that all of them, are in us, cheering for us--sending us strength---pushing us to keep going---and, we must, ----for them--- because--we really represent, all of them now! 

so before you all think that I have gone completely bonkers here, I believe, that you measure your life, not in years, but in moments--


Hug your family--- Be there for them-----Stay safe--- and I shall see you to-morrow-

    I am there for my family...mostly on FB. My daughter is the closest with her hubby and my grandson who just turned 14. Someday I will have the wherewithal to visit my eldest and youngest son still in the Chicago area, and my doc son and DIL in California again.
    I have a 'big sister' living here. We are always there for each other.
    Family is so important. I still get inspiration and (I swear) ideas and assistance from my mom and grandma and who knows who else that are now In Spirit.
    In the photo of the family and dogs, I do not see Lopez or Beau.
    We carry on! Yours, in love...{{{HUGS}}}

    It's Kathy. I love the idea of measuring my life in miracles - not years. I know how hard it is to say goodbye when you know it will be a long time before you see your child again. But we must treasure the wonderful moments we enjoyed while they were here! I'm so glad your Grandson is helping with your lawn. After my dad passed away my sons took care of my mom's yard. I think 3 of her yards would fit into yours but I don't believe she ever mowed the lawn in her life! I was so proud of my sons for helping. Have a lovely evening! Oh, and I love the photos!

    As long as we hold their memories in our hearts, they live on! How timely, given I had been thinking about those in my own family who have "moved on".

    Have a wonderful Friday and weekend!
