Thank you. We are trying but the struggle is real. Dealing with pain caused by a blood clot. PET scan this week to see where he stands. Praying for a miracle.

I’ve felt more at ease today than I have in months. I had to meet an inspector at a home I’ve got under contract. Very Godly man that I highly respect. His wife will go to Heaven soon. We talked, we cried and we prayed.

Sounds like a divine appointment and I'm happy for you that it helped.

Hi Joan(ie),

I so appreciated this post today. Your words perfectly captured the parallel of nature’s shift to a new season and our own. The picture you shared was absolutely beautiful and serene. I am continuing to lift you, Greg and Evan up in prayer as you approach the holiday without your beautiful Morgan.

Hi Joanie,

I know this will be a tough season for you and those you love. We too, had to start some different traditions…some of the former ones were just too difficult for all of us to manage.

Love the scene from your back deck! Sending hugs.❤️

Also when I say holidays, it's really because the one year anniversary is two days before Christmas.

I think that makes it especially difficult. The celebration of a Christmas is such a joyous occasion and yet the sadness of Morgan’s passing ushers in several conflicting emotions or maybe it is more fitting to say your emotions are layered somehow. We certainly need to acknowledge our emotions but in the early stages of grief it is hard to keep from being completely overwhelmed by them. Praying for you as you approach the anniversary of Morgan’s passing. ❤️
