Quite a Week


It has been quite a week to say the least. Monday and Tuesday I attended the 911 conference in Little Rock with Gail. This was our department's first year to attend so it was nice to meet people from other agencies who work in related fields. But it is obvious that age is catching up to us because all we wanted to do was eat supper and then go to the room and watch Dancing With the Stars. No more night out on the town!

Wednesday was the tenth anniversary of my husband's death. Guess this was a milestone year or something since it was harder than usual this time around. Wish I had taken the day off from work and just tried to relax but once more I made it through. Seems no matter how long it has been the empty spot just never quite fills up although I have my friends and family who make it better.

Wednesday, my darling little granddaughter, Lilly became dehydrated and has been in Children's Hospital since Wednesday night. She should be home tomorrow since she is eating and playing some now. She is still not drinking much so they are keeping her one more night.

The only up side is that big sister, Abby is staying with me. We are overdosing on movies. She is making fast friends with Rascal, the new dog. He has become her shadow today and even slept at her feet last night. We just got back from her house to feed the goldfish and check on everything.

The weather today has been just perfect. Spring is in the air and on the cars in the form of pollen. The trees and grass are budding out and everything is greening up beautifully. The picture shows the view across the road from my front porch.

Seems that life keeps handing us such weeks. Grief never dies. The old saying"Life Goes On" only refers to the routines of life, The heart is irrevocably changed.
Hope your granddaughter quickly recovers.
Happy Easter.
