I lost my beloved 3 days after Christmas last year..the day before he died we were at his favorite nursery picking up plants for his zen garden in front of his home office (gardening was his favorite hobby)..like you how unsuspecting I was that 12 hours later in the early morning hours he would be gone, forever...today after work I picked up new plants for my beloved's zen garden (a month after his passing the plants were eventually planted by a hired gardener but all the plants have died)--tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day, during the day I will be gardening with happy thoughts about my dear beloved, and this time, the plants will thrive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-22129291861985387892010-11-24T17:35:41.728-08:002010-11-24T17:35:41.728-08:00I know what you mean.

It use to be hours of feeling bad, now just one maybe. It is a holiday that our small family unit celebrated. My girls and I are trying to start new traditions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-67986873826929454992010-11-24T13:57:05.180-08:002010-11-24T13:57:05.180-08:00Wow...this is great.
