On Vacation today, and am ever so grateful! However, it is tempered with some sadness. It is the 25th anniversary of the passing of Mike's Dad Wayne. (11/19) and will be the 3rd anniversary of the passing of Grandma A (11/20/2009). You wouldn't think I would still be so emotional about it, but you learn to deal with it. However, the longing and loss never go away.
I feel her presence around me often. Especially when I see the "late season" roses. Just a week ago, I came out of the office and was blessed to smell the scent of the roses in the rose garden outside our door. My co-worker, Crane, was also lucky enough to get to smell that "heavenly" smell. It was amazing, and I'm sure she had a hand in all of that.
Today, my plate is full, and life goes on. our struggles both up and down make us what we are. As we aproach that "Thanksgiving" day, I am reminded how lucky I truly am!
