Hi Debi,
You have been on my mind.
I am just catching up on your thread.
You have such an amazing heart, Debi.
Your heart is just huge!
The anniversary times are difficult, for sure.
I understand, too, about memories popping up in a medical setting.
One of my brothers was in surgical ICU for two months before passing on.
I was there with him so much, I became sensitized to the noises in the ICU.
Their phone system had a very unusual ring to it.
The first time I was back in the hospital building, long after my brother had passed, I heard that ring... and, I had immediately started sobbing. The ring pattern of the phone system had tapped into a deep well of sadness.
I, too, am so glad you are surrounded by family.
I see so many people in my neighborhood, people with many adult children in the area, sitting all alone on holidays, etc. I check on them and invite them to come over and/or make extra when making meals and take it over to them.
I love to do this and have not been able to do it as much as I'd like lately.
Yes, I agree, make sure your loved ones know you love them.
I also often say: If we love someone, we must make sure they
feel our love.
It's too easy to say we love without demonstrating our love to one another.
I hope you are warm, comfortable, happy and surrounded by Love tonight.
Much Love to you, Debi.
