Happy Friday

Happy Friday everyone! It's a sunny day here in my neck of the woods and I'm sitting outside for awhile to get some fresh air. I desperately need a break from all the stress and sadness in our house with mom being in hospice. Everyone is trying hard to keep to our normal routine so I thought it would be nice to sit here for a short while and see what's going on and distract myself. I have relatives coming for the weekend so they can pay a visit and say good-bye to my mom. It's sad that she won't know they are there but it will be good for all of us to have company and be busy. Hope things are going well with you and sending some smiles

It good to sit by yourself for a while and gather some inner strength. No sitting out here, way too windy and chilly.

It was nice to sit outside and gather my thoughts but now it's just too windy to sit out. Glad I took advantage this morning

So sorry to read about your Mom. I have been through this, there is no doubt that it is a very sad period to go through. Thinking about you and sending you some good Canadian hugs.

I do appreciate all the good thoughts and support. Reaching out to everyone here has certainly helped especially since many of you have already been down this road before me

It is a very difficult time. You and your mom have been in my thoughts. I am glad that you have relatives coming over the weekend. It is good to have family near at a time like this.

At first I didn't want company but now I'm kind of glad as it will be a distraction and keep me busy

My heart goes out to you, I hope that you can have a little quiet time over the weekend so that you don't get so drained. This is all so much, and you're in my prayers.
