I was so sorry to hear of your losses ... such a time it is that you can't even be together to grieve. Amazing that you were able to check out your dad's memories right before he was hospitalized. It was meant to be. It was wonderful to see you with Honora who also lost her mum just recently! You will not soon forget what 2020 continues to bring. May October bring peace and still waters ...

Stay...What a wonderful get away you and Elmer Had! Staying close to home but enjoying a beautiful island and visiting a good friend at the end. I'm sorry your received the sad news about your sister passing away during your trip, but I think she'd have wanted you to be somewhere peaceful in nature when you heard the news and she'd have wanted you to continue to be happy. Your dear father gifted you with one of his last stories, which is another memory to treasure. The photo of the sunset over the lake is gorgeous and should be framed. I also loved seeing you with Honora. Stay healthy and enjoy autumn!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-25460641897689061162020-09-21T08:15:46.798-07:002020-09-21T08:15:46.798-07:00Life can be bittersweet, can't it?

What a treasure of stories his life held. You saw so many beautiful things and always tucking away things learned. Smiling about that watermelon.

The watermelon incident sounds "messy". Your losses following upon one another in such short order must be so hard. May God's loving arms hold you in comfort.

I thought it misery when losses were separated by six weeks...days is a real test of faith. I know the anchor holds. It was wonderful that you were able to share with your dad about his friend. Things like that tell more of the goodness of God. He cares about everything that we care about.
