The smile.....

   You know when you have found your prince because you not only have a smile on your face but in your heart as well.    ~Author Unknown

Shoe boxes and desk drawers......

A friend ask me the other day if our home was getting back to normal. I had to stop and think for a minute, I replied, do things ever get back to normal after losing a parent. She knew where I was coming from as she had lost a family member a few years back. You never get back to normal but you learn to go on and live life in a different normal way.
As many of you know there are tons of paper work. But along with all the paper work you run across something tucked away in a box that makes you laugh out loud. Sister-in-law Barb and I found a poem that Tommy had written about her when she was a little girl. Such sweet words written about his first born. We also found one Tommy wrote in his ledger book about working at the American Can. There are still shoe boxes and desk drawers to explore, we are eager to find things make make us smile.....

Wordless Wednesday.....

by 3's.......

We've all heard the old wise tale that says, "death comes in three's." As a child I can remember hearing Mom talking about the tale with her friends. Having been in the floral business for 20 years you can almost figure out when funeral work will be bountiful by counting by three's.
Death came in three's at Jubilee Flowers, within the past ten days Heather, Kenna and I have lost loved ones. Heather and I lost our father-in-law and Kenna lost her Daddy this morning. We've had our 3's, death needs to move on.....
