thanksgiving was difficult...as was my dad's birthday. christmas will be another difficult hurdle.
it's the roughest on him in many ways. he always thought that he would precede her. and they were together so very long, 58 years. he wasn't always kind to her...but he sure did love her.
the way that he sometimes treated her rankled us greatly, but she was always steadfast in the statement and the belief that he loved her. she knew really. (not to excuse his behavior in anyway). but she did know where his feelings lay.
i feel for your dad. 58 years. that is amazing. your mom's knowing is what matters most in the big picture. i'm sure there was peace for her in the knowledge that he did indeed love her.
my mom was lost when my dad died. everything she did daily centered around him.
i know it's been said before, but, risking redundancy, within the intention of comfort, the first year of significant days and holidays are the most bewilderingly painful times.
not that there is not always missing & longing and melancholy, but it is true... that adage of time being the healer.

cozy has definitely been the theme of the weekend.
(it's been such a sweet one)
feeling blesed.
you so need to play with this effect.
blurbage says it works best (trials do too)
with low light shots.
Happy Sunday and Happy New Week to you, sweetness.
