Young teacher friend for many years just told he has lymphoma and the the daughter in law of my John and Iva connection has liver cancer. Every new day is a blessing and there are so many more things to appreciate than worrying about weeds.L.

A very good friend of mine unexpectedly lost her four month old grandson yesterday to a sudden illness. I can't begin to imagine the depth of her grief or the ache she is feeling. I think losing a child/grandchild would be harder than any other type of loss. One thing it does do is give us reason to hug ours tighter and be thankful for every day they are with us.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858158707328118375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-31776416001218295312011-01-14T12:11:06.577-06:002011-01-14T12:11:06.577-06:00*hugs* ♥*hugs* ♥LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-89146729951838005752011-01-14T11:32:27.894-06:002011-01-14T11:32:27.894-06:00Losing a child at any age would be very hard.

I miss having a garden but our well water is too high sulfate to grow a garden. Shoot! We have to haul our drinking water.

I've lost my parents and my grandparents and my best friend/sister and other friends, but never a child. I hope I don't.

With the recent horrific events in Tuscon, we are reminded just how fragile life really is. Your garden photos are so pretty and that handsome Chance romping around in the background!
