Every day, if we’re lucky, we’re making shared memories with someone that we can reflect back on. Bob and I had a chance to create memories today as well as reflect back on memories from last year.
We had a nice walk today in some intermittent drizzle back near the new housing development north of us, which we had visited last weekend. This time, we continued across a major road to enter a large meadow, which at least for now, has been set aside for trails.
Below are some photos from our walk, which also included a bit on a currently unused (by cars) road.
cuz no one took the sign’s advice.
Our reflecting on past memories today centered on our time house sitting in Melbourne, Australia, last year. A little over a week ago, we read a Facebook post from our homeowner from Melbourne, which stated that she had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer and wasn’t given long to live. She wanted to say her goodbyes. She was open to comments but wanted everyone to know that she wouldn’t be responding. We sent a note, and today were informed that she had passed.
Just another reminder that we’re not long for this world and to make the most of every day, including letting people know how much they mean. So to those of you reading this, please know that Bob and I are so grateful for the gift of your friendship. Take care of yourselves, hug your people, as we send a virtual hug your way.
We don’t have any photos with us and Debra, but we are thinking of her family, including the three that we got to care for.
and the large and loving Minty
