A Haven for Vee

Thank You for Everything

Just popping in to say thank you for all the wonderful emails and cards. I have been truly blessed by the community of Blogdom; your words touched my heart.

This past weekend was a blur of activity with Nan's graveside service on Saturday involving six hours of travel and her Memorial Service yesterday at the church she attended in our community.

I've not had nearly enough time to collect my thoughts and so will be taking even more time off from blogging. And, as always, when time away happens, I've missed you. I'm looking forward to getting back.

Enjoy a wonderful November day...

  2. Dear Vee,
    Frequent thoughts of you have occupied my mind this past week. I have been praying that the strong and comforting arms of God will uphold you and yours during this time of sorrow.
    Change is difficult. You will miss your wonderful Nan. It's good to hear that you are taking the time you need to begin adjusting to life without her presence.
    Blessings,
    Lorrie

    than you anticipate. please know that
    your family is in our prayers.

    "shout for joy, o heavens; rejoice, o earth;
    burst into song, o mountains!
    for the Lord comforts His people and will
    have compassion on His afflicted ones."

  7. Hi Vee - I'm sure you're exhausted all the way around. Take your time to get rejuvenated and rested up. We miss you when you're gone. It's always good to see you back.

    Nan is in a much better place and I know you'll miss her and miss the place she held for so long in your life and in the lives of those who loved her. May God grant you all peace and comfort as only He can. Big hugs coming your way, my friend... Vickie

  17. I am currently so out of the blogging loop as I am away on vacation. Tonight I have a little time for some visiting and was so sad to read about your dear Nan's passing. I know that you will always miss her and the special place she held in your life, but I hope all of the good memories of times spent together will help to soften your loss.
    I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts at this time. When you feel ready for blogging, you can be sure that we will all be here waiting to hear from you.
    Take Care.

  24. Dear Vee,
    Forgive me for only now checking in on your blog after 10 days of being gone on travels. I feel I've missed praying for you during this difficult time. So, your dear, sweet Nan is in the presence of Jesus at last. How blessed for her, though most greivous for those who loved her so much. Just last night my Dad was reading Mom's favorite song by Henrietta Blair called "Meet Me There." So wonderful to know we'll be reunited again. My love, thoughts and prayers are with you.

  33. I have not gone blog visiting in a while but just went by yours. Sorry to hear of your loss. Losing a loved one, even when we know where they are and even when we have the support of others, is very draining. I pray that you will feel comfort in warm memories and the warm hands of friends and family.

    One of these days I may return to blogging.
