I was an avid cross stitcher and after my Dad died five years ago it was at least two years before I could pick up a needle and I have never got back into it really in the same way I had before. However crochet has now taken over the life (it seems) but I still want to get back to my cross stitch one day. xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00075528029826860495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020871316401082930.post-64775928860118038792016-06-19T09:22:27.183+01:002016-06-19T09:22:27.183+01:00Lovely to have you back with us again, it is good ...Lovely to have you back with us again, it is good that you have been able to go and see your Mum and take some family time.

Tomorrow is Father's Day in the USA, and I was talking with my youngest son this morning about how strange it still feels to me at the age of 65 to not have my father alive as well as my dear husband. But I am grateful for the good memories I have of them and I can celebrate their lives more easily now than in the first years after their deaths.<br />Creative pursuits like crocheting with other loved ones help with this transition, too. Love to you and yours as you continue to grow with your new normal. xxxxxGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020871316401082930.post-50993835034997298542016-06-18T21:32:23.772+01:002016-06-18T21:32:23.772+01:00Hello stranger, it is good to see you.

It will take awhile to live with the new normal in your family. Your friends here in blogland will be waiting for you when you're ready to visit more often.

Love all of your pictures but especially the little round house. :-)<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020871316401082930.post-78035947183046315902016-06-18T15:01:00.446+01:002016-06-18T15:01:00.446+01:00No worries my friend, losing your Dad will take ti...No worries my friend, losing your Dad will take time to learn to live with.
