For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Hi everyone. This is just a short post to let you know that I will not be around for a couple of days. My sister passed away yesterday afternoon. In the past year and a half my two brothers and now my sister have passed away. They are better off now, but this has been hard on me since I now have no siblings left. I will be back again, but I need some time off. Thank you for waiting for my return.
Steve and Muffin.
Sorry for your loss. 🥺🥺

I am sorry for your loss 😢 I never had siblings but I can imagine how lonely it is to be the “last one standing.” Similarly, my grandmother was the last one in her family too. She was strong and resilient and lived a long life despite dealing with so much loss. You’re a good role model for the younger generations and we can learn a lot from you. Please keep being yourself and a beacon of light in the blogging community. I hope you can find peace and contentment during this difficult time. 🦋

Thank you for your kind words Hilary. It was the thought of not having my siblings to talk with anymore that really hit me. And losing them all in a relatively short space of time too which was quite unexpected. But healing comes and we carry on. Again, thank you so much.

Steve, may the God of all comfort hold you close during this time. Hugs! Keeping you lifted up in prayer. You have had much loss in a short period of time. I know your sister was a fan of your blog. She is now part of the cloud of witnesses and is rooting for you, still! Take your time, remember your time of enjoying your sister, brothers, and parents. Give yourself some time, enjoy Muffin and all those who loved your sister, and take time to heal. 🤗🐈⬛😹😸😽😽😻

Thank you so very much for your kind words of comfort. It is good to know that God does hold us close in times like this, giving us the strength we need each day. Realizing I no longer had my siblings to talk with about things was something that really knocked me down for a bit. I was going to take a bit more time away from blogging, but I miss being here too, so I will gradually come back this week. Thank you again.

You’re welcome! No need to hurry back to blogging but if you miss it, come back at your own pace. Siblings are special and not being able to talk leaves a hole, in support and understanding. God holds you close and comforts you.

It will be a slower return for now, but hopefully a steady return. Good to know that God is always close. It will take a while getting used to not having my siblings around.

You are already in my daily prayers when the Lord and I “walk around North America,” but you will specially be in them for the coming days. Someday I will hope to meet you and your siblings around the Throne of the Lamb and worship Him together. Heaven gets sweeter day by day when we know more people who have gone before us.
❤️&🙏, c.a.
