All's Quiet...




All is pretty quiet here on the home front. Haven't blogged in almost a Week! Bad girl! It's been a sad and happy week for us. My cousin Donna, who lives in Connecticut, passed away Tuesday after a nine month battle with cancer...I'm SO damn sick of death...She has a twin, Roni, who is just "out there" in limbo...I wish I were there...And we Still have the wedding to get ready for, even though things are pulling together nicely. Cake and flowers...etc...are done. Dresses, done...Church decorations, done...honeymoon plans, done...photographer Sarah, done.
I did a bit of laundry and cooking yesterday. Nothing much else. Crystal brought Will so he could spend the night. It was cartoons and giggles for the rest of the night...nice.
Well, guess I'll go find something else to wipe, clean, fix or throw out. Y'all have a Wonderful Sunday!

Wow! You are busy but with an exciting event.

Understand your feelings about the death. Cancer is really, really a nasty disease. My heart, prayers, and condolences go out to you and her family.

Hi Donna, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. How very sad. I lost my dad to cancer and it sucks, there is no nice way to say it. As advanced as we are technology wise, you'd think they'd finally find a cure. We can only hope.

You and I had the almost the same weekend. Don't you love the grands? They are the best, thats for sure. Enjoy your night sweet..xoxo

Donna said...

Thank you Daniela! It does Indeed, Suck!! Big time...
Night to you sweetie!!
Fun weekend though, huh?!!

I think you reach a certain age where your friends and relatives start passing and it seems like it is never going to end. I hate it but I guess we have to feel the pain to appreciate the happiness in life. Cartoons and giggles are good at such times.

Nita Jo said...

Donna, I was worried when you didn't post... I am so sorry about your cousin. Such hard times for so many friends lately. I will say a prayer for you and for her twin, Roni.

I'm glad you had Will to spend time with. Nothing like the little ones to cheer our hearts.
Thanks for your comment on my story!

Hugs!
