the gift

without

sorrow,

there is

no

joy.


the gift of the blogging world is an amazing, supportive, and healing community.

it's refreshing to see people come together.

powerful stuff.

inspiring.

sadness...

after my last sad post and reminder to

live every day as if there is no tomorrow...

tragedy creeps even closer.

i am even further saddened today.

i have just been getting to know a fellow gardening blogger

gina.

how shocked i am to visit her blog today, and discover her beloved 21 year daughter killed in a car accident.

send some

love and prayers her way.

won't you.

hold your children close.

rememberance...

while visiting one of my favorite blogs this morning,

i was introduced to another blogger who i will never know........

sadly

very sadly

i found out about her through her grieving husband's post.

a terribly tragic

reminder to

live every day

as

if

there is no tomorrow.

sending my deepest condolences and love to this young family.
