Hello again, friends.
Since last I posted, aeons ago, I've needed all my energy to help Corinne through a process which involves many tests and a major surgery. I'm happy to report she is on the mend and on her way to health.
Simultaneously, though, when Corinne was turning the corner, my mom, Pat Ferguson, was diagnosed with stage 4 aggressive cancer. As Corinne gained steam, my mom declined--heartbreakingly fast. Mom passed from earth to heaven a short time ago, and we celebrated her life in a memorial service this past Sunday.
It was so poignant to tell her life story as a family, each in turn telling a chapter. Singing the songs she loved, thanking God for her extraordinary life. And extraordinary it was. How blessed and graced we were to have her as our mom.
And how deep the void now where her shining presence was.
And how deep the void now where her shining presence was.
Only now, in the calm that follows the whirlwind, can I begin to post my thoughts and prayers again.
Only now do I begin to come out from my tunnel and see the daylight and feel my pulse normalize.
Now I get my bearings and look around like a groundhog coming out from hibernation.
Good morning sky.
Good morning melting snow.
Good morning spring rain.
Greg, you and your wife continue to be on my mind and now I know why. Just read this today. Praying for your continued journey. i was listening to some of your music on the itunes store and deciding what i wanted to order...and then came over to your blog. Asking God this morning to be what you need for all you are doing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol. And thank you also for the stunning handmade art. It is very meaningful to both Corinne and me.
