Life loses its flavour when you lose someone dear to your heart. I'm sorry it has been so long since my last post.
It all started with not being able to taste anything and having no energy. A virus hit our school and town with a vengeance. Just when things were looking up and health was returning, Life dealt my beloved Ben and I another blow. My mother-in-law passed away a week and a half ago after a long illness. It has been a rough time emotionally for Ben and I've focussed a lot of time on his well-being since he couldn't go home to France for the funeral.
Ben's mother spoke very little English and my conversational French still suffers horribly but during the last five years of knowing each other we found our ways to communicate. The heart knows what the tongue cannot speak. I will cherish the memories I have of her and it hurts knowing there will be no more. I know she considered me the daughter she never had so I will do my best to make her proud of me no matter from where she watches my progress.
Please excuse my somber mood. I just wanted to let you who come here know why I have been so quiet.

Thank you all. Your condolences are welcome. It's been a tough time indeed, but we take comfort in knowing that my mother, Marie Catherine, is now at peace, watching over us.

A beautiful tribute.

Peace to you family. . .
Dear Ben and Nerissa,
I know how tough this must be for you, since I just went through something so similar and so recently. My deepest sympathies and condolences, and also my biggest hugs from here in Oregon while you take your time to find comfort in eachother and get your feet back underneath you. My best to you both, and we'll be waiting for whenever you're ready to come back.
Thanks to linda, darlamay and michelle,
I'm probably going to post on Saturday after a long hiatus. Look for me then. Bless you all!
I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. It's so hard to lose those people who are irreplacable in our lives.
As for the cheese sandwich thing, no apology necessary at all. It was truly uninmportant compared to a lot of other things. Would love to see your sorrel plant whenever you feel like sharing it for WHB.
Thank you to kalyn and melissa. Your sentiments mean a lot to me. Hugs to you both.
Oh no, I just read this. I am so sorry for your family's loss. All my best wishes.
Nothing replaces the support and prayers from people who care about you. My thanks to everyone. Bless you all.
