When life throws us a loop, our choice is to keep going no matter how hard it gets.
Highlights
While in Arkansas to say goodbye to our daughter, a highlight was spending time with other children and grandchildren.
We even got to see our Memphis grandson before going to the airport.
They ease the burden of grief a bit.
When we returned home Monday we tried to catch up on lost sleep in between work and daily life chores. My only social outing was book club. This month we had read ” The Stars are Fire” by Anita Shreve which I highly recommend.
I realized later, my dinner was comfort food; it was tasty as well!

Isn’t she adorable?
