Many of you have asked a lot of questions about my son, Dustin. And you have gently reminded me how I should share some memories. I have to be in the mood to do that. So here goes.
Yesterday as I was conversing with @Juliaacv I...

My cousin found this photo and shared with me just now. I cannot believe it. This is Dustin's (my son that has passed) footprint. We lived across the street from my uncle for several years. Dustin was a baby when we moved there,...

So thankful for photos. Memories. Stories. They are all so close to my heart.

Well maybe he didn't physically visit me in his garden. But this statue I have of a boy and his dog was beside me just now.

Over the weekend, as I shared earlier, I went through some old photos and other belongings of my Dad's. He passed in 2017. I have many boxes to go through in time.
This photo of Dustin is one I have not seen in awhile. He was...

Today is my son's birthday. I lost him many years ago. But he remains forever in my heart.
I read a story awhile back that stuck with me. A lady said this about her son that died... "He did not pass. I didn't lose him. He died....

My friend I have talked about many times (Dustin's Godfather) has bone cancer.
He has been on hospice a few months now.

The rain is still coming down today. A light rain. And only in the 50s today. Next week we may see our first frost. Works for me.
Gives me another chance to get Dustin's old flannel shirts out to wear. I kept many of his clothes....

The photo above is of my son Dustin. He was sitting on the table of my best friends at the time, and his godparents. They are Catholic and volunteered immediately to be his godparents. His godmother actually made these little...

The deck guys have the old deck torn down. They are taking a lunch break now.
I walked out to see the empty space and cannot wait for the new one to be done. They will return soon to get started. They are not wasting any time for...

A beautiful day here filled with sunshine. Was out walking in the yard with my phone in case there were any new blooms to see.
The rose bush in Dustin's garden is covered in leaves. Blooms will be here soon.
I did some pruning...

Maybe this...

This photo was from last year's summer roses in Dustin's garden.
After a rain shower I snapped some photos. I caught the raindrops on these rose buds. Amazing what nature has to give each of us.
I always look for beauty all...

Have been outside in the sunshine and snapped a few photos of the roses blooming in Dustin’s garden.
They usually bloom through October. And they always make my day.
Have a good day everyone.

Was cleaning out some boxes earlier. Came across this small wooden car Dustin made in grade school.
Tears, but happy tears as I remember how proud he was to get this car made all on his own.
Good memories.
Happy I still have...

The roses are blooming and the butterfly bushes are just starting to...
