What a month for you! I am so thankful that I can peek into your life and see a small reality of your life. Your four-year-old's sentiment, just breaks your heart! You just want him to keep remembering ... so a little visit would be good, wouldn't it? I love his cake. And your butter lambs. I need to try that again next year. I will need the instructions again. The carrot cheeseball is also fun!! <br />I am comforted to know that you have family and friends around you and, most of all, for the hope our heavenly Father keeps reminding us of.

I think that those "firsts" are difficult (first Easter, first birthday, first fill-in-the-blank without your loved one) . . . but then ordinary days are difficult too. Grief is unpredictable and unrelenting. The comfort is that our loving Lord is walking through it all with you, even when it feels as if He is far away from your pain. There are people in my life who are also going through dark days. I will pray for you when I pray for them. <br /><br />Even in your grief, you are finding lovely ways to spend your time, whether it is celebrating His glorious Resurrection, celebrating your birthday boy, or making darling little butter lambs. One day at a time . . .

We had a cold and dark April over here as well, but I won't even compare it to yours. A life's partner no longer there is a whole other kind of dark! Your Paska and bread look amazing...and your butter lambs are the sweetest. Sorry that Covid got in the way of your 'gathering' over Easter...but the feast a week later sounds fantastic. Take care, Rosella!Judy https://www.blogger.com/profile/00929685771427155673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090202634903658831.post-81757557196372491402022-05-03T20:30:58.630-04:002022-05-03T20:30:58.630-04:00What a marvelous Easter feast.

Take good care of yourself, my friend. xoLiz That Skinny Chick Can Bakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258699925063180509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090202634903658831.post-87903088198973552022022-05-03T16:26:08.696-04:002022-05-03T16:26:08.696-04:00Oh dear Rosella.

He's one year almost to the day ahead of our JJ. JJ gives me the best hugs. Praying for your continued journey in grief. Praying, too, that the sun will shine brightly and help brighten your days and the Holy Spirit will continue with his comfort in your inner being.ellen b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14531430948905935301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090202634903658831.post-18417406806006706922022-05-03T15:06:53.219-04:002022-05-03T15:06:53.219-04:00Your April is my May.

What a sweet little grand wishing his grandfather could return. One day, he will! <br /><br />Your bread baking is wonderful. No one bakes more beautiful loaves. Though I no longer bake Paska, the memory of it is sweet. <br /><br />Happy quilting. I can tell that it will be a masterpiece. 🧵 Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
