we had an absolutely lovely time at the party yesterday!
i finally accepted that I am not a sister and it is so much more peaceful for me. The sisters see each other weekly with their families and you know they seem very happy. I think since I didn't have a family like this that I was trying to hold on to it for me as a sister. It's amazing how much one learns from struggles and how one can be okay. lots of peace for me to the point i could just find joy in the moment. dd younger has moved on and she too said that it hurt like crazy as they were her family but she is happy to have moved on and still have a good time.
We really had a lovely time and it was wonderful to see everyone. I just love seeing the kids; no matter how old they get they are still my
little nieces and nephews
wishing everyone a joyous day.
I will invite d mom over but I am not sure she will come.
I know she wanted to go to church but dd's asked if we all stayed with dh as if I go out with d mom it is many hours away.
So no church today. I will take her to a mass at 8:00 am (during the week) in the chapel if she is willing to be up, out of the house, early.
Happy day to you!
transition is a great word d Harriet.
Oh my gosh your sweet grandchild made me smile.. Light in the box for a flashlight. how sweet.
