I guess I woke up on what is referred to as the wrong side of the bed. Every once in a while I wake up in a funk, I miss Phil and today I even had a bit of a pity party. Feeling sorry for myself is unusual because what I usually feel is this horrible sorrow about what Phil had to go through as he progressed through the stages with astrocytoma. Today however it was a depression that got me. A creative block seemed to be the result, then I saw the message....Conundrum. Now what to do? .
I started at Carmel River State Beach.
I head through the neighborhoods toward town, I've been loving the holiday decorations and it looked festive downtown. As I'm walking I hear an operatic sound, a music resounding but I don't see anyone singing. Finally the voice becomes clear and I hear,
"Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
The festive side.
A pug with its own car!!!!
Carmel is magical...... Back to the beach on the way to the car.
For Phil
I'm trying to make sure I say thank you to everyone as the end of 365 days of images comes near. You expressed you wanted to say thank you, I'm doing my best to do that for you. Today I thought of Patti sending you all of those t-shirts as you went through chemo and radiation and Mom sending you a card almost every single day for 4 years. Your smiles said it all. I miss those smiles most of all.
To Patti and Mom, I love and thank you from both of us. Phil adored that you took the time to always make sure that he was having smiles during his journey.
Patti you are amazing, I know you are working hard to make Mom comfy and happy. Big hugs and love. I will see you both soon.
Thank you to my family who all stepped in to help when things were really got tough.
