Everything gets a bit harder to navigate when a sinkhole unexpectedly forms in the middle of one's life.
Molly and I are learning that every family benefits from having at least one adult in the family. And I think Molly is slowly coming to the realization that it won't be me stepping up to the plate to fill Buddy's boots.
I did finally finish sewing the Portland frog. It took so long I had to make him a donut to sustain him. The black fabric will become an outline and then I will put him in an urban environment. I think that's why he looks a bit horrified. (The frog is 5 feet tall).
My mother has been in and out of the hospital and rehab twice since Jan. 10th and everything around here is in disarray. I did not catch the post about Buddy. How terribly sad. I lost Tugger over 3 years ago and I still miss his pesky self. He was a needy cat, but he kept everything interesting. I have Rosie but she is pretty tame and not needing much from us. Would love another to make it entertaining. Please accept my sympathies on the loss of Buddy.
Sending hugs of welcome. That Buddy-shaped hole is a big one.
ReplyDeleteGiving your frog a donut was a grand idea - we all need a bit of joy to sustain us.

ReplyDeleteGood to have you back online, Buddy leaves a very big hole - even a five foot frog doesn't fill it. Hugs to you and Molly. Elaine
