are you in high gear...getting ready?
I'm finding comfort in keeping my hands busy...creating...remembering...
Believing...in all things heavenly.
Wishing you all the very best pre- Holiday Joy possible..
Your loving visits have not gone unnoticed...Thank You from the bottom of my heart.
Life is different now...how could it not be.
Missing him is the hardest...He was everything and in everything of everyday.
We were blessed to have him for 40 years...
I'm convinced Eternity will prove to be the sweetest GIFT of all.
xoxo~Kathy.
I am humbled by your friendship with us all..To come and visit and share..To be giving of yourself..

ReplyDeleteI've thought of you so often Kathy. Your faith is amazing!
ReplyDeleteSweet Kathy, these are long days I know. Keeping busy is a good thing and giving yourself a chance to heal is also a good thing. I am glad to see some Beautiful Christmas in your home. Loving thoughts and prayers are with you. hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteKathy- You have been on my mind and heart...and although the thought of eternity together is wonderful it is not enough to take away the ache of missing someone on a day to day basis. I'm sure your Christmas will be tinged with sadness this year as you create "new traditions" while trying to hold onto many of the old ones.
ReplyDeleteYou are on my heart and prayer list this morning..It is so good to see you back here~ Hugs xxoo Diana
Dear Kathy, there are no words....just loving thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are doing a post. I hope Dave runs into Patrick, I'm sure they will have lots to share up there.
There is no time limit on grief...Pat's been gone for many years, but I still miss him.
Love,
Debbie@lakehouse
Dear Kathy, My heart breaks for you, sweet friend. I am so happy to read a new post - that means you are carrying on. Words fail me, just know you are in my thoughts and prayers, especially during this holiday season.

I was just thinking of you last night, Kathy, and saying a prayer for you. Wondering how you are getting along. I know it will be hard, but keep the faith and God will walk with you every step of the way. Cry when you need to... it is very healing. Treasure all your memories that you are pondering in your heart, just like Mary did. And know that your precious hubby is smiling down on you from heaven and is sitting at the foot of our Lord and Savior this holiday season. What an amazing celebration that will be!!!! Know that there are many of us out here in blogland who love you very much and have you lifted up daily in prayer. Love & blessings from NC!
ReplyDeleteI think of you everyday and wonder how you are doing. I feel like you are a neighbor even though you are several hours away. You are still in my daily prayers. Thank you God for all the wonderful memories you have made together.
ReplyDeleteI have thought of you so much and been waiting to hear from you. You are amazing to me! I think I would still be curled up in bed...I hope you had an enjoyable Thanksgiving with your family....and yes, I am busy getting ready for Christmas. One of my favorite holidays!!
ReplyDeleteDear Kathy - You have been on my heart and in my prayers. As you go through these days I pray you will be blessed with unexpected blessings. Think of your dear one - cherish the memories - and let the tears fall when they choose!

Dear Sweet Kathy,
ReplyDeleteI checked in last night for the first time in many weeks... and was deeply saddened to hear of Dave's passing.
I was always so inspired by your strength throughout this last year. You and Dave made the most of each and every day by celebrating your life together.
How wonderful for you both to know such love. He will be with you always... until you are together again.
Take care, Bunny Jean

"Dave's spending Christmas with Jesus this year."
What a beautiful promise.
I'm praying and weeping for ya,

So good to see you post. I think of/pray for you daily. I just started to cry when I read what Glenda wrote... "Dave is spending Christmas with Jesus this year" A truer statement has never been written. : )
ReplyDeleteI love your musical star... I am sure that you made it, I just might copy it :)
I am just starting my decorations (been down with the flu :( ) BUT I am determined as the last 2 Christmas's were in the hospital with Cancer... & I didn't do much... hoping to go all out this year.
Be/Stay well..... K.
I have thought of you so often, Kathy. It is good to see you sharing and finding comfort in daily activities again. I hope each memory brings a smile to your face. Hugs, Deb=^..^=x5
ReplyDeleteDear Kathy, I appreciate your comment on my blog and I thought I would stop by yours...I didn't expect to see that you have recently experienced such a loss in your life and I send my prayers your way. It seems like you are surrounded by very loving friends! God Bless you, Kathy.

Kathy- my heart is so happy to see you back at your computer- sharing your lovely creations with all of us. I know you do so with a heavy heart. This Holiday season will be a tearful one for you and your family and yet I know you will celebrate your faith and love for the Lord. Your blessings are many- and you are a blessing of each of us.
ReplyDeleteYou are an inspiration in more ways than you will ever know~~~
Love,

Oh Kathy I am so saddened to hear about the loss of your beloved husband. I will be praying for you and your family as you go throught this time.
ReplyDeleteYour holiday decorations looks just lovely and glad to see you keeping busy.
Blessings to you.
You are such an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWishing you many, many blessings.
Kathy, it's so lovely to see you back with your 'blogging' family, I have thought of you often and I know these next few weeks before Christmas will be very hard (I lost my dad a few years ago just before Christmas) but please know that my thoughts for you and your family are coming from Australia.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Suzyq
Every day when I click on my blog, I think of you and wonder how you are doing and lift a prayer up for you and your family. Just reading your blog makes me tear up and I pray that I will have the faith and courage and strength that you possess when my time comes. God Bless!
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy, I think of you so often. And pray your family and close friends are supporting you well during this time. Christmas will be difficult without their help.
ReplyDeleteKeep busy! You are always so creative....
G'eve Kathy ~ My heart aches for you, may you find comfort in our love being shared with you. Our Father holds you closely in His arms, & loving may his soul eternally in peace.

ReplyDeleteIf this happens to me, will I be as strong as you are? I don't know...but I will pray for the strength that you seem to have.
I think of you so often.
Dear Kathy,
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about you often and have wondered how you are doing this season. To see your post and how you are holding onto the spirit of Christmas and the memories you have of Dave in such a sweet way that shows such inner strength and a deep love that is truly everlasting is such an inspiration to your blog friends. May this Christmas season bring you more fond memories and the comfort from family and friends who share them with you. Hugs to you, Debbie
