time...

sitting at home watching a DVD

                                                               The girls are at their dads place

I like Tuesdays on my own

                                            most weeks

But then sometimes I miss them 

             so much

They have another home

                                                 Another part of their lives

That I am not a part of

                                and it hurts...

Reflections of what has gone by

                   hope for what is to come

                                        Stuck somewhere in the middle...

like a tug-o-war pulling in   

                                                                     opposite directions

trying to find a balance

                 of what to hold onto and what to let go...

one...                day...                at...                a...                time...

Love Nel xx

That is always how I feel with our children living so far away.
Out of balance.
Big hugs to you my darling friend.
I love you
I love your music.
Big hugs
Love Jeanne

Reminds me of a quote: 'Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow." - Dorothy Thompson

May your courage be abundant, my friend.
Love the piano music in the background!

Dearest Nel.

I know this must be so hard for you. Bittersweet days.

I posted about "To everything there is a season" today, come over and take a look.

Nel,
I started a comment and decided that it would not be encouraging or uplifting to you. Just know that you and your children remain in my prayers.
Blessings
