Hi Everyone, thank you for all your support through my special cousin’s illness and death.  I feel blessed to receive so much support, caring and kindness from so many people.  It has also meant a lot to my family and to my cousin himself when he was still sick.  My cousin’s sister gave us some flowers to take home … here are a couple of photos of flowers we pulled out of arrangements and put into vases.

Susan Elkin helped me take better photos than I would have without her help.  That is a plus – I learned a little more about using a camera today!  Tomorrow I will go back to regular posting … I have slowly been taking care of some of the things that have piled up during this sad time.  We were lucky enough to spend a couple of hours with him shortly before he transitioned to the other side (yes I mean died to be clear for those who might be confused by English).  It was a very precious time to spend that quality time with him and those who were closest to him.  It helped me a LOT to be able to let him go – he was clearly ready, it was clearly time.  He lived a great life!

It is wonderous and sad to learn so much about someone after they die.  Great to hear so many lovely things … and sad that I didn’t know more of them when he was still alive.  What a reminder to cherish those precious relationships while people are still alive.  And I so value all the time we spent together and all the appreciation we had for each other.  Thank you for all your support!  Back to regular programming tomorrow.  Thank you for stopping by!
