I have been extremely lucky with blog giveaways lately and have won an extremely beautiful pack from the gorgeous and lovely Liesa at Handmade Heaven and a very supercute Bugga Bugs giveaway hosted by the very, very talented Alicia at The Red Deer , so a very BIG thank you ladies! If you haven't visited them yet, why don't you pop by for a visit and enjoy their fabulous blogs! So to give back to the good Karma giveaway fund, I visited a cake decorating store for some inspiration...and I came out with a box full of cupcake papers, that's about 600 or more. I think I was in that shop for a good 45 minutes, I am not joking, it's like a kid in a candy store...or a fabric store for my lovely sew crafty blog friends :) Now all you have to do is leave a comment, nothing much, just a hello or share a joke. I'll leave it open till midnight Saturday the 31st of October and also the end of Blogtoberfest and draw a winner from a hat or bowl or bag and announce it on Sunday...
Big Hugs Cathie. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ReplyDeleteOh Cathie - reading that made my heart move in my chest for you. Tears stinging my eyes. I know it hurts. Believe it or not, it's good that you're feeling the pain now. Letting it come means that you may let it go. In time. And then it will be his smile that you'll see when you think of him. The funny things he used to say. The way he loved you. These will one day be your memories. But for now, its grief that you're feeling. x
ReplyDeleteI hope the image of his smile comes to you soon Cathie and dries up those tears. Big hugs. Sarah x

As time passes Cathie, memories of your dear Dad will get easier to bring to mind. The pain you feel will become a little softer & not so sharp. One day you'll find youself smiling as you think of him & remember his warm embrace with joy & not profound sadness - I promise you.

ReplyDeleteOh Cathie the love & pain in your message is so real. It completely gave me goosebumps & tears & made me feel so helpless because I know there is nothing I can do. Thanks for sharing this with us...you are so genuine & caring and I just wish I could could call you up & hear some memories about your dad. I hope they bring you comfort on the hard days. Love!!!
