And It’s a Wrap

I must say this month has been more than just an Ultimate Blog Challenge, it’s been a challenge to just get through each day. It’s been a month when I sit and stare and don’t know what to do next. It’s been a month of watching Snowball being lost without being able to snuggle in the chair with Pop. It’s been a month of wondering why and was there something I could have done.

I would not have been able to get through this month without my daughter and her husband, two of my granddaughters and Lia and two of my grandsons. They were my rocks that held me together. But they were grieving also and I didn’t realize how much until I read a post that Alex wrote on Pop’s Facebook page asking why and what was she supposed to do now. But we all made it this far and I’m letting God lead the way. My daughter will be coming back down from Virginia the first week of June and I can’t wait to see her again.

When our roses were in bloom, every morning Rich would have one on my computer when I came downstairs, some would even have a little note with the rose. Now my grandson from Indiana sends me a text message everyday with a rose emoji. That makes my heart melt to how caring Zac is.

The 59 years of wonderful memories that Rich and I had will live forever in my heart until we meet again.

During the April UBC I managed to post every day and read and commented on as many other posts that I could. The one thing I didn’t do was reply to the almost 300 comments that my friends left me. There just wasn’t enough time in the day even though it seems like I did nothing. But my challenge for May will be to set a schedule of replying to ten comments each day and I will have them all read and replied by the end of the month. I thank you all for comments, prayers and messages.

I didn’t even post my beginning challenge poem but here is my ending one. Congratulations to all those who participated in this wonderful challenge and even if you missed a few days, you are still winners. Thanks to Paul for putting another great Ultimate Blog Challenge together.

Lia had fun sharing her Friday Story Time by Lia blogs and she will have graduated Kindergarten when we come back for the next challenge so I’m sure she will have lots to write about. Lia and I are looking forward to coming back for the July challenge which will be my 35th consecutive Ultimate Blog Challenge, Until then, BLOG ON!
