Life really is a mixture of joys and sorrows. I revel in the fact that the beautiful sunshine returned today after several days of fog and rain. What a gift! I love the fact that much of our snow has disappeared the last few days because of our warmer temperatures. It is a promise of spring after our long winter. It is a hope that my husband will be able to and want to sit out on our new deck this summer.
Yet there is also the reality of my husband’s disease that will not get better but only worse this side of heaven. There is the reality of receiving the news on Friday that my mother-in-law’s cancer has returned, and she will only live a few months longer on this earth. It will be a birth into eternal life for her, but we will miss her. Life is indeed a mixture of joys and sorrows.
Oh, I’m sorry about your mother-in-law. Remind me when she was first diagnosed–was it last year at this time? Or, last fall? I remember that she had a great peace–is this still the case?
We had sun yesterday, too, but clouds returned today. I think warmer weather will arrive later this week, which as you say, is so welcome!
Have you met any new neighbors?
