Gentle posts for gentle folks

Afternoon, Kaila and Friends. :(

I'm just so sad. I'm really going to miss her presence on the forum.

She'd just recently broadened my cultulral knowledge base by introducing me to Frida Kahlo's work. I made a comment about her eyebrows and Radish explained who she was, which prompted me to look into her work. But she, Radish, didn't make me feel silly that I didn't know. Just filled me in. She was lovely like that.

I'm still having waves of grief and sadness.

Yesterday I cried for 2 or 3 hours.
I couldn't help it so I let it flow.

I needed to do some things for my husband, so I struggled thru.

My goal for the day, before I got the shocking and upsetting news that we've lost our friend,here....
had been to get myself and him, outdoors for 15 or 20 minutes.
It was the first warm springlike day after 5 months of winter.

I nearly didn't do it, but I managed to get us outside.

I thought of RR, and that she's not here to see the tulips coming back.
And she's not coming back.
It feels like a hole.

I have to remind myself, that I'm glad she was here with us, and gave us so much.

Thank you, dear RadishRose. 🥀

It is best to celebrate Radish Rose’s life instead of continuingly mourning it.
Radish Rose wouldn’t like us mourning her for long. She was such an upbeat soul that she’d hate to think all the members are miserable because of her. I have cried due to her death but I don’t believe she’s gone forever. How could that energy just die forever? There’s no way. I strongly believe when our body gives out we move to another level of existence. A level of existence without pain and suffering .
She is STILL with us. Let’s celebrate her NEW Existence 🙏♥️
She’s now Radish Rose with wings.

I took that photo, a couple of weeks ago.
I don't remember if I posted that particular one.
I thought I'd post it, now anyway.

Today, I saw a male eastern bluebird on that dish. Gorgeous.
I didn't think to try to get a photo of it. 🙄😊

I'll try, next time i see one.
They mostly haven't migrated back, yet.
 
Afternoon, Kaila and Friends.

I am missing Radish and it feels weird to just go on with things, though, I do think Patty is probably right about that.

@Kaila, good thoughts for your dental appointment. I had one yesterday, two fillings. I was going to give myself a treat for doing a hard thing, but forgot about it when I learned about Radish. I hope your appointment goes smoothly today and you'll be able to relax after.

Wishing everyone else a peaceful Wednesday afternoon. ❤️ 🤗 🥕🥕🥕

It's that time of year again... I'm under a tornado watch. Sometimes wind takes electric lines down, and 70mph winds are expected, so if I go quiet, assume I'm sitting here "counting to ten" and waiting for power to come back on.

I hope the dental visit was a success, Kaila. Your photo is incredible. I'm glad you said it was taken earlier because I was going to ask about all that snow you still have!

I know what you mean about it feeling weird to go on with things, @Medusa . I had used a smile icon with the snow comment to Kaila, but it simply didn't feel right and I got rid of it. 🥺
 
I'm back from my dentist appointment, and glad to have it behind me.......again.:rolleyes:

If it seems like I've had a lot of them, for this past full year now:
Yes! I have. :oops:
But I need them, so I'm glad I figured out how to do it, and finally found a good dentist for my needs.

Even though it feels strange to me too, I do think that RadishRose would want us to keep smiling, as we remember how much she meant (means) to us.
Her sense of humor was so strong, that I think she wants us to maintain that, as well.
