it's been awhile. I guess you could say life got serious after my last post. My mother-in-law passed away on March 16th, 2011. She lost her battle with lung cancer at the tender age of 54. While I still find humor in day to day life, there hasn't been much inspiration to write. But I need to get back in it, so here goes.
Some things I learned from sweet Genia:
~ you can snuggle with your children well into adulthood
~ affection is a beautiful way to communicate love
~ big Italian meals transcend calories and fat content
~ extended family dinners should come back into style
~ the vows "in sickness and in health" really do mean something (Greg)
~ wearing "yummy" clothes is the best (translation - comfortable)
~ in the end, all that matters is people know how much you love them...the details are nice...but the love part...that's the real sustenance.
While we can't adequately fill in the void that inevitably came after Genia's death, I am grateful for the memories. I am grateful for her love.
The words are still not coming as easily as I'd like...so more to come later.
Peace and love - J
