Thanks so much for your lovely comment. I have been relatively fortunate in this regard, but I also have a very small family.

I will try to pull out of my rut and keep producing. I’m sincerely appreciate your readership.

Betsy…as someone who has lost so many relatives in my life (I was a late-in-life “welcome surprise”) but those who were so very special to me, be they aunts, uncles, cousins…are already gone. My own mum, daddy, sister (my best friend) and my big brother…they have gone before me. What is left is a wonderful brother in Las Vegas, several nieces and nephews, and even a beloved “ex” sister in law who is more sister than my own sister was.
That whole that’s been left behind I have learned can’t be filled by my kids, my relatives…or my ideals…it can only be filled by God. So here I am trusting Him to help me somehow get my life together again and heal me…so far, AMAZING.
Thanks for sharing your hurts and your loves so candidly with us, we are all the better for it.
