As many of my close friends already know, 2 weeks ago my family lost a wonderful man. Fred had been in our lives as an amazing grandfather to my children, significant other to my Mom and step-father to me for 28 years. While I don't usually share too much information here about the yucky stuff in life, the loss of Fred has had a significant impact on all of us. We are still healing and not a day goes by that I don't think of him and that he isn't with us anymore. Fred was an amazing man and I could go on for paragraphs about his specialness, however, he was also a very private man. So out of respect to him and my Mom, who is equally as private ~ I am just going to say goodbye and that I am so honored that he blessed our lives for what now feels like much too short a period of time. . .
Kim, so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope all of your good memories will make the healing easier for you and your family.

Thinking of you Kim. So sorry for your loss. Although I have also had times for grief, i know that each one of us holds and works thru it quite differently. We can all know Love, however. Sending you love today of a God who knows each tear and holds them in his hand. Sending you a hug, Kim. Keep up that sweet, fun & artistic person that you are! Peace for the day~ xo
