Pressed Petals ... More Journals

Well ... we're trying to get back to normal around here ... or, at least closer to normal. At this stage of our grief, we're left with a big, empty spot in our hearts. There's also the overwhelming feeling of being the only one left in the immediate family to settle all the final affairs. We feel a fatigue that goes to our very bones.
The memorial service was Tuesday and it was just beautiful. We were so touched by so many friends who came to pay their respects and by family who traveled 8 or more hours to be there. All of my 4 grandchildren were there and 5 of Ilah's great grandchildren were there ... the youngest being just a few weeks old.
One of the most touching moments to me was seeing a very long row of chairs filled with Ilah's PEO sisters from her chapter. That was so special to me. Being a PEO member myself, I know how close the bonds of PEO sisters can be and how much it means in your life.
We're still receiving beautiful cards ... and gorgeous flowers ... from friends of ours. I have a ton of thank you notes to make and send.
It's time to try to focus on something closer to normal, to take our minds off the grief and unbelievable exhaustion. So ... I have some more journals for you today. I love these!

This card was the inspiration for the journal above.
