In Memory

Today I felt a little blue, I guess it was the let-down of returning from vacation and two naps a day to coming home to responsibilities, mountains of laundry, BIG car issues, and the return of some uninvited guests, MICE. Ugh. Mice are potentially what could throw me over the edge of the cliffs of insanity! HAH! I have much to be thankful for and I am not meaning to complain. Its just hard to come down from the mountaintop to the valley sometimes. Life is good, just hard sometimes.
Also, Saturday we learned of the death of my wonderful great Aunt, Aunt Jenny. She was a beautiful woman, of strong, Scottish heritage, and a loving wife and mother. She married my Grandmother's brother, Uncle Harry. They had a wonderful life together and a loving marriage. In the past 10 years or so, she was diagnosed with Alzheimers, and became a totally different person. It was so hard on her family, especially her husband. He demonstrated unconditional love for her despite her illness, and exemplified "for richer or poorer, in sickness or in health." He loves her passionately and selflessly. Her funeral services will be later this week in Michigan. I am praying for peace to all of her family as they mourn and remember her for all her beauty and grace. Although I cannot attend her services, my heart will be with you all.
This photo was taken of Aunt Jenny and Uncle Harry with Benjamin 1 year ago. She loved babies and even in the end, her eyes would light up when she saw or held a baby.
