I start every year by making this my first read for the year. Normally I finish it in a couple of hours, but this year is different. I‘ve not read a book in weeks, including audiobooks, so it‘s an accomplishment to complete this little jewel of a book.
Grief is hard; we all know that. I‘m adjusting to suddenly having so much time on my hands. I had limited downtime, especially with the extensive caregiving needs the last 2 weeks of December. ⬇️⬇️
Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️ I‘m exhausted, drained, hollow, and lost. And yet, time marches on. Of my three remaining boys, Xander is depressed, and so I‘m talking with him and playing with him and making sure he knows he is loved. We‘ll get through this, one day at a time. Thank you, everyone, to your kindness, love, and support. I was so touched by the outpouring of sentiment from everyone. I wish I could repay each and everyone of you with something. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 8h
Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️ It helps to know I‘m not alone. Thank you. Of course, I had to share a cat photo! #SebastianKitty had no clue he acted as a book prop. #CatsOfLitsy . And, for those doing the #192030 challenge, this is an excellent book for #1970 . It‘s a beautiful look at friendship. 8h
Librarybelle I know I‘m also behind with discussion questions for groups. I will get to them; thank you for your patience! 8h
