After
After
Hello again blogging world- good to be with you for another az challenge -I must admit after participating last year I haven’t written much
My word today after- reflects my moods and thought patterns lately
My 95 years old father died March 1st - it was expected but the situation that brought him to that place was kind of sudden
After his funeral- I just knew there would be plenty of time for thoughtful reminiscing and insightful memories of his life and our relationship
But as all of us know- something else crept into our existence recently that has taken much of our time and energy— clouding up any ideas we may have had about anything else
Of course I think of and miss my father and I’m grateful that he passed away far enough from this global tragedy- to allow people to congregate and mourn his passing at least for some amount of time
In our minds we put endings on much of life- after this after some waiting occasion or ordeal— we will deal with certain things or allow ourselves to breathe a sigh of effort out
After all what is life but one moment after another - one second of complete joy two seconds of darkness— all in rotating splendor of the brevity of after

DeleteThanks for stopping by!
So sorry to hear of the loss of your father. It is good that there was able to be a gathering to celebrate his life before all of this came to be now in the world. I have a chemo patient I'm an angel for and she is in hospice at a care center. My prayer is that she won't die alone and will have family around her. I hope our world is kinder after all this.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the challenge!
betty
Sorry if I’m double replying haha not sure if the other reply published!
DeleteGreat to hear from you Betty- are you not doing the challenge?
And I commented on your blog about the neighbors— I said it reminded me of that show “mama’s family “ where she would always say “ I know the neighbors are loving this!”
