What's the weather like where you are? (10)

[zippy2]

Thank you Zippy2 Sis'

My 'loss', pails into utter-insignificance
when compared-with
Mary's determination, these past 2+ years

To then receive, a single, stroke in the brain
and to leave this world, some 7-8 hours later
without having 'given' any-sign, of being 'aware'
was as gentle 'a-release' as I can possibly imagine

Mary 'deserved' to go peacefully
just as I prayed she would, only minutes before she passed

So, you see, not a man beset by sorrow and anguish ~'in-grief'
but one, who is, just so very-happy
that Mary did not have-to begin the next course of chemo
(due, to-start, the following week)

That, she doesn't have-to rely upon me
to lift her onto the toilet and off again afterwards
and set to rights any 'mishaps'
Such a dependance, really affronted her-dignity
I hope my insistence, that we were "IN THIS, TOGETHER"
gave-her some real support

Mary knew, as we all did (right from the get-go)
that Mary's treatment would be 'palliative' (Not CURATIVE)

She gave the impression, she would 'keep going'
and that, thankfully \o/ was not her decision to make \o/

I have no-trouble 'sleeping' although I am become very-much a Night-Owl
Everything changes!

I am eating and, so are our pets
Whenever that hole that Mary left-behind 'opens'
I stuff 'good-memories' into that gap
Well, she took a piece of me with her _Lovely lady

Mary (Baker nee: McAlinden) 12.23.1939 - 01.09.2016
Until we meet again \o/ \o/ \o/

What a lovely tribute to her. Oh just think of the wonders she is now privvy to! Think of joy to see the Savior! I can only imagine it.
What a good companion though this world you have been; we should all be so blessed. Bless you now dear brother. You are loved by many as well.

Bright but chilly, today (now late-afternoon)

now, @ six days on, the heart wreath is 'still intact' (and fresh as ever)
~beside Rolo's grave, where Penny's ashes also are

 

[Handmaid for Jesus]

Thunderstorms today with lots of rain. 70F degrees.

Thunderstorms today with lots of rain. 70F degrees.

It was in the low 60's here in south Texas, but very windy and chilly. Supposed to be the same tomorrow.

 

[davedajobauk]

It rained here sometime earlier ~everywhere, is wet
Temp's were reportedly @ 10.C (could be!)

 

[rebornfree]

Wet here too! We had a little snow on Wednesday but it soon thawed. Temps seem very mild tonight.

 

[charitylove]

Was just browsing the forums and had to reply to this one. We have had a downright horrible winter! Looking forward to Spring.

 

[rebornfree]

I hope it's here soon for you charitylove.

 

[davedajobauk]

Intermittently VERY WET
Nothing new, for Umbrella City

 

[rebornfree]

Very windy earlier, but praise God it has died down a bit!

 

[davedajobauk]

\o/ blustery and wet continues, here
I have-to go out (shopping) for dog and cat food
but thanks to the car that Mary bought for us, the journey is, door to door 'comfort'

 

[Handmaid for Jesus]

It has been fickle weather here today. Sometimes sunny, sometimes cloudy, sometimes rainy, sometimes not. Sometimes windy sometimes still. Temperature is the only thing steady at mid 50's.

 

[davedajobauk]

Raining intermittenly all-day

Sometimes, the rain is so heavy, I can hear it against my double-glazing and exterior window cill
above the sound of my desktop fan and harddrive whirring

We presently have 4.C and numb fingertips > heating is ON (now)

4ºC= 39.20000ºF


brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Edit - Oopsie daisies. I hadn't noticed this was in the 50+ section when I posted, so I'm editing it out. My apologies.

 

[davedajobauk]

SUBLIME! We're having an oasis of summer in the middle of winter! Today is blissful perfection.

Enjoy ALL that we are given \o/

LOL! No problem - easily done!

Dry earlier today, but a bit of rain later. Colder temps about 2C (35ish F).

Hi Sue Sis'


White fluffy cloud from the North
should reach you in about an hour or so
could be snow, it is 'getting chilly' out there

[rebornfree]

Oh! As I'm going to bed soon I'll miss that, but maybe I'll wake to it in the morning. I've just looked outside to see if there are any stars, but it's low cloud cover at the moment so I'm not sure what it will do.

Hopefully 'not a lot' it looks very thick out there now
from horizon to horizon, from what I can see of mine


fingers-crossed, it isn't
or, there is no frosty snap to follow it

It would 'BURN' so-many delicate beginnings
including "David" out front and the 'White' in the back
is dearly-wanting, to open a bud and to bloom....
It's first since before Christmas
"David" still hasn't stopped 'completely'
