while in maine, all plans for sewing progress were abandoned but a bit of stitchery did get accomplished....
one of those projects that gets attention now and then....for a finish whenever. now that back home in MD, it'll get set aside again while adjusting to a new kind of life.
said goodbyes to my now smaller family with a lobster roll lunch, hugged and kissed with a new ferocity now that we start life without our touchstone and anchor and with fragility of life's reality. i have already signed up with bereavement support, hoping for guidance on how to live without my mom. would not wish her back, and having her for almost 75 years was a huge blessing never taken for granted. woke up in my own bed feeling isolated, alone, adrift, frozen, and still quite devastated at such a huge loss. unpacking and groceries need to be done, but i just want to curl up with quilts over me and pray for some magic wand to make it all go away....
I praise You, loving God, that no valley is deeper than Your love.
