My precious Dad passed away just before Christmas. Oh, the pain of the loss. You will only be familiar with it if you have been there yourself. So now the gentle task of learning to live without a parent who I held on the highest pedestal, whose love and support kept me going when I didn't think I could go anymore; whose intelligence and wisdom was sought and respected; whose love for his family was endless; whose courage and determination was inspiring.
2013 was a heck of a year for me, dealing with a job redundancy, building up my own small business, making the most of the time I had left with Dad, the emotional ups and downs would make you sea-sick! However, I have come out the other end, stronger, braver and more determined.
To help me focus on some happy stuff, I have decided to join in the 365 photo project for myself, following my love of following Catherine's Blog at atimetocreate.blogspot.com . I may not post a photo a day, but I am determined to take a photo a day. It's so easy, I just need to commit to it!
Since I am starting a little late, I will play a little bit of catchup over the next few days.
I would love you to stop by long enough to leave me a comment.
So, here we go.... 1st - 5th January....

ReplyDeleteI am so so sorry about your precious Dad's passing, my love and thoughts are with you always. It has been such a big year for you, so much huge emotional stuff to deal with but I can hear such positivity in your voice which is so lovely to hear. I am happy to see you will be back here a little more sharing your gorgeous photos with us all.
