Maybe I am losing my mind!

 

It's a new day--- So far--no crying--- Maybe the tears have stopped--Maybe there are no more tears-- Lordy Be!!--- Losing a husband--my right hand  partner--is not fun!!

Anyway, his Death announcement was  in the North Shore Bulletin---and , now the "STANDARD Newspaper"-They put a very good picture of him  in there-----  I hope I do not cry  anymore as I read it---so so hard -----

To-day we have to go into Peterborough to "Service Canada"--So much paperwork when a person passes--and--I still intend to return to Elliot Lake--to spend the rest of my life--  Elliot Lake is "HOME" to me--=- I cannot leave here until I have an apartment in Elliot Lake, ready to move into--(which means ANOTHER move--)--- but , Elliot Lake is my home-and I must return---


So---- If you know anyone whose partner has died, do not leave them alone---  because all they do is cry--Just spend some time with them--  tell them they WILL get thru this (I have not yet!)- Maybe bring them a few boxes of kleenex--(ha ha)---  maybe go for a walk with them---   Yesterday I went to a 2nd hand store---and you know, one of the pictures Son#2 had taken over to them, --- well, I bought it back--  like-- "I BOUGHT MY OWN PICTURE"--- It was of Charlotte, our  old dog---- Can you believe that??--  I guess people  who have lost their partner, well it seems these people have sorta lost a bit of their mind----Oh well--Hopefully, life will resume  one day, maybe when the tears stop!

Strength----a short blog

It is noon-ish-- I had to go out this AM--so, am posting now--later than late--but--I sure am thinking of you-- Two very nice ladies came here and took me round the town--We stopped in at a  nice 2nd hand store---  I bought a picture---$10 --  a picture which used to sit in the rec room--a picture that got left in the house in Elliot--Of course it is a picture of a dog ---  and this dog looks so much like one of the first dogs we ever had--Her name was Charlotte--

It is warm here --over 70 degrees --sunny also-----So Spring has arrived!--I meant lots  people who still have no power--so, we are very lucky--At least we have heat and lights!

I need to find strength---  I shall try to have "power" over my mind---because I need to find the srength to carry on--Lord love a Duck!--I really just want to sit and cry--When does that go??----I MUST FIND THE POWER OVER MY MIND_--- 
--- Lets help each other--- to get our lives back on track-- Lordy be!!!
-a short blog--- but---- so far --No MORE TEARS--

Get out there and live this Day!

 

Good Morning-- WE HAVE HEAT!!!    And--THE POWER IS ON---It came on yesterday , at supper time--Whatta difference!  I did not have to sleep in bed with all my clothes on--

                                                    There is a lot of damage everywhere--

I cannot seem to enlarge the above pictures but if you look closely you can see broken limbs--
I still have to walk Lopez --all the walking trails are covered with tree limbs  so I'll stick to the road--
I turned on the news this AM., and I hear we 're in for more bad weather--rainy wet snow showers--- As long as we do not lose power I will be OK---
I continue to look for Fred--- feel at times that he is just "out" and will be back--or, I come home , and think he is in the house here--- -Strange!  --I wonder when one gets over that---
Me---- on Son #2 deck--with is dog, Gerrard--and Lopez--our wee fella--
So, How are you all?--= How is the weather in your area??--It will be nice when it warms up a lot--
Are you abe to "Keep your chin up?-""  as Dad used to say--I mean, if I can get thru all this, I think everyone can----No matter what is going on in your life,  (or my life) --we can get thru it----  It might not be easy, but---- in time, each hour gets better----and, if you see anyone without a smile. give them yours--
Remember---"Impossible" means "I'm possible,"
and---

WE ARE A PART OF THIS DAY___
