HAPPY BIRHTDAY LYNN.
Saw two strange things up at the mountain house... last tues we were sitting on the back porch when we saw a bright flash with a blue or green component way off in the woods... just a glimpse but I've never seen anything like it before in all these years.. my husband said it might be space junk or a 'falling star' piece... then today at the mountain house we were playing music and I noticed little dancing lights on the floor next to me... they were sort of jiggling around and I looked all around at the sources of light coming into the room but I couldn't see anything to make that jiggly light... once it stood still for a bit but then went back to jiggling.. then it left.... wonder if I'll see it again... ever since Brandon died so many odd things have happened involving electricity and light....
Lynn you will be in my heart today. Have a happy birthday and know that Kyra is sending down lots of love your way. ((( )))
Lynn, You will be in my thoughts and prayers, I know how empty and desolate a birthday can be and want you to know that you are loved and Kyra is with you.
lynn I know Kyra will be with you on your b day, and I know the emptiness you feel, please take care love and hugs kim
There is something about the change of seasons that seems to bring about the finality of everything in a whole new way.
Dolly, I do not really know myself either these days...
All the leaves are down except my two brilliant red Japanese Maples. Its definitely grey November here in Vermont. Tomorrow is my birthday and I will listen to an old Beatles song "When I'm 64. Some days the grief of losing Kyra is so strong this time of year, with no gardening in sight for many months and the beautiful flowers to ease my soul it will be 15 months since her death in a week . I can feel the intense constant pain of the first months has eased greatly, but not the emptiness in my heart. We all seem to be going through many intense feelings with the change of seasons and less light in our lives. Thank you all for the support. Love to all here Lynn
Reading these three statements today ... they say what I want to say but never can find the words...
You don’t care enough to care. If you could care about what was going on, it might scare you, so you don’t want to care about anything.[TERRIFY me is what it does... I can't even FATHOM losing another dear one and yet that very real possibility haunts my every moment... do I stay in a fog constantly trying to keep my mind from going 'there' but the mind has a mind of its own....]
When you allow yourself to experience depression, it will leave as soon as it has served its purpose in your loss. [whenever will THAT be I wonder and how does one NOT allow oneself to experience THIS depression????]
Anyway, it doesn't matter how much, how often, or how closely you keep an eye on things because you can't control it. Sometimes things and people just go. Just like that.
[and THAT is my greatest fear of all.... the terror that has changed me forever...]
something else...
the last time we went to the mountain my little 'dancing tree' had DISAPPEARED... well at first I thought that, but then I realized it had lost EVERY SINGLE ONE of its beautiful golden leaves... well that was a shock ... but come spring you better believe I will be looking for those green buds ... somehow it felt like I had lost Brandon again.. in some weird way... I'm so strange even to myself now... my mind works in ways that I seem to have little or no control over... like I'm a puppet that has to do what its told... I hope God is the puppetmaster...
