This Friday is the 1st year Anniversary of the loss of my MIL and the memories of that time bring back much sadness.
To add to this sadness my husband's Aunt (my MIL's sister) passed away yesterday after a 3 year battle with Dementia. Although we had been warned last Friday that her deterioration was a concern naturally we are still shocked to have lost her and of course are feeling the heartache today :( We were very close to her and she has a been a big part of our lives and adored our children ~ a truly lovely and kind lady.
What a cruel disease this is both for the sufferer and the carer ~ to not know a name anymore, to not recognise a face anymore and to live in a world you no longer know and when events that only took place a minute or so previous are straightaway forgotten. I am happy for her to finally be released from the cruel symptoms she suffered and know now she is peacefully sleeping xxx
I do wish life would pick up! I'm so fed up with feeling sad and unwell, my foot doesn't want to co-operate and get better and now I have been called for another scan to check my bone density ~ grrrr life!
I have been stitching non-stop ~ I guess it's my way of coping and by concentrating on counting stitches I can try and block both sadness and pain out, not always successful but it helps!
'A Beautiful Dream' is progressing well and a new tree has grown complete with conifers and golden stars are now scattered above the rooftops.
'Santa's Nap' is looking good too and Santa is now growing a lovely white beard, next I can start his face which I'm looking forward to.
Thank you for your comments on my last post and it was nice to hear that many others of you get a lot of comfort from your pets.
Monty was a lucky pup at Christmas and received toys galore ~ he's a real chewer and nothing stays in one piece for more than a day but one toy, a squeaky sheep, took his fancy and that went everywhere with him!
Last week the squeak gave up!!!! So a dash visit to the Pet Centre and a hunt for a new sheep, none left so instead a new cow . . .
(looks like a fish in this photo but it has 4 legs and udders so definitely a cow!)
Success! Monty love him xxx
Thanks for stopping by, it means a lot to me
