j u n e

started out the month painting again. my first choice was a painting called glam-mingo (a glamorous flamingo) but the session was cancelled. sadly. I replaced it with a lovely seahorse painting, because the ocean is also a great subject. that event was cancelled too, literally 3 days before the event. harsh words were shared with the event coordinators, and a third attempt succeeded ... I painted this lovely impressionist serene lake.

after having a fall and having another pair of brain bleeds, my mom, who lived 86-and-a-half full, rich and blessed years, on June 18 went home to be with Our Lord to live eternally in a perfect form. While we will miss her, we know we will all meet again for eternity.  Her Celebration of Life will be held in August.

while it was a sad occasion that brought her here, Joyce flew up to spend time with her Nana during the last 3 days. and I got to see my baby again, after nearly a year and a half! it was so wonderful to have her stay with me Friday through Monday. hidden blessings among the sorrow.
