Going "Home"


It snowed again last night, falling swiftly and silently, blanketing the landscape within an hour.
A driving, wet snow, with enormous snowflakes.
More of the same is predicted for tomorrow, is there no end ?

We buried a family member today, and yes, it was snowing.
The First Sergeant's cousin, who had suffered with health problems over the last few years.
A much-loved son, brother, and friend, whose time on earth was cut short at the young age of fifty eight.
A beautiful and heart-touching service, we sang hymns with only the accompaniment of our own voices, it lifted spirits.
Godspeed Douglas......

Thank you for all of the Oliver 'well-wishes'.
He continues to improve, and hopefully I will be bringing him home to recover further in the next day or two.
I've surely missed his furry ears and whiskers :)
