a few sips of Jack and a thousand tears later....


having to choose which casket would "suit" your 48 year old husband does something to a person...... (I can't believe we're getting so close.....)


so this is what I did to conquer myself last night.... otherwise I would have drowned.

"One may conquer in battle a thousand times a thousand men, yet he is the best of conquerors who conquers himself" ----Buddha


love and peace...

  1. You are a stronger person than I can imagine ever being myself. I am humbled by your openness, by your sense of being, by your love for your husband and family. My wish for you is that you continue to find that inner strength you have shown in abundance and face each day with your family both there and in this cyberworld behind you and supporting you. Be well.

    Peace

  2. Hidden tallents? Remarkable. Especially since it's your first effort. I think I know. It's love. Not only dies it give you wings, and makes your heart sing. It unlocks ones true potential. Well done Mari

  3. I can not believe how much more is there...
    How you come out every day with something so unexpected in means of speed of the monster in Gagik's life; and how we all cry with you for this hard situation your all family is in...
    ...and as a result, there is always something for us as a treat; so we, even we don't get too sad... I can't help my tears and at the same time, I'm amazed at what the sadness/sorrow can give birth to. I don't know what to say... You are simply AMAZING!

  4. On top of all this, an artist too? What can't you do??? This experience (as horrendous as it is) has unleashed so many hidden talents. Who knew? Writer, caregiver, chef, martyr, artist.... the list goes on...
    Oh, and speaking of 'jack'...we are just a phone call away...jack and I.
    love, gigi

  5. Oh no! I had no idea you were at this stage. My hand flew to my heart and ached for you. God bless you and your children. Know that I am praying for all of you and asking for His Spirit of Comfort and Joy your way. Glad you are taking time to paint and reflect and reach out.

  10. The brevity of your words says so much more than anything I could convey to you today. Your heart overflowing with love and anguish touches me in ways I can't describe. Just know that I am thinking about you and praying for the peace that surpasses all understanding.
