Always
Post 311
Many months, or maybe even a year or two ago, I came across an article that intrigued me. I want to share and comment a bit because it’s something new to say while also offering an update on my hubby’s health, for those long-term readers who may be wondering.
Happy Independence Day! I hope you get a chance to reflect on the fact that of all people in the history of the world, as far as I know, those of us allowed to be alive in the USA, have had THE MOST freedom and opportunity to be exactly who we were created to be. Most of us have never struggled to be fed or feed those we love. Most of us have more entertainment in our lives than seems even acceptable. So that’s what we’re doing with all this freedom! 😝
Enjoy your day with family and or friends. ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙
This link is likely not the exact article I found previously, but it’s representative of the concept.
I happen to believe that our souls are intertwined somehow with our blood. Cells need the nutrients in blood to live.
It actually feels like the pain of this type of loss is in my cells daily. I miss her. My body misses her. Is part of her physical DNA within me? It’s just a thought. It’s not like I think about it often.
She has been gone from Earth over 2.5 years now. It’s hard to believe it’s been this long. Memories are popping up in my photos a lot this week because right now 9 years ago we were in Mexico. Lots of pics! She took a friend on that trip, and it is the only friend of hers I’m still in touch with occasionally.
Hubby is doing as well as one can probably be doing after 8 rounds of chemo. The tumor has shrunk significantly, and he’s remained positive. We are in the process of finding a different surgeon for a surgery that will likely occur anywhere from late July to late September. Thank you for keeping us in your prayers.
If you haven’t picked up a digital, audio, or paperback copy of The Rebel’s Hike, please consider it. Although it’s technically written for tweens and older, there isn’t a single adult who has read or listened, that hasn’t also really liked it (that I’m aware of.) Here’s a link to the other substack (audio is all there for free, chapter by chapter with pictures) and a link to Amazon. Thank you for being here!



I still think of you often. It’s nice to have your update and glad things are looking good. The ‘always missing her’ feeling just shows how much you loved her.
Happy Independence Day too!
Prayers as always for you and your family, my friend!
