Oh Nancy! Your words always move me and evoke such vivid imagery. The curves on the "way of the lakes," the ability you have to recreate your experiences for us in a way that allows us in. I love that. I was sitting on the bench with you too. I am sorry it has been a hard time for you these last months. You are a loving daughter, I know. And I wish I had met your mother and been served by her hospitable ways. Take good care my friend. With lots of love, Debra
Nancy, life is often interrupted, especially as we and our loved ones grow older, with the hard moments. Your subject is so appropriate for Lent, yet it also resonates most days. A friend recently lost her husband to esophageal cancer. Another friend had a stroke. And my son and his wife recently announced they are having a baby later this year. Life feels like an emotional rollercoaster, and we must hang on tight, brace for the highs and lows, knowing that they are both part of our daily journey on this earth. May your time with your father be rich in love, memories, and care. Blessings to you.

Debra, Thank you for your good word. I appreciate it very much. We need to get together again soon!

Blessings back to you, Rachel. I've really been appreciating your book.

Lenore, yes, "we must hang on tight"! I love how you wrote it. I'm so glad we're friends on this journey.
