When we went to the park for walks and I opened the door and started to let the dogs out people would sometimes stop and watch and count and smile and wonder how many big dogs were in my 'clown' car. I made a few friends that way. : )whalewatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866104177090272333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-49906822657322982862010-12-30T04:41:27.744-08:002010-12-30T04:41:27.744-08:00Your sharing of your friend's grief touched my...Your sharing of your friend's grief touched my heart. Our son lost his wife in April of this year and spent his first Christmas without her at home with us. So bittersweet. <br /><br />Learning the new normal, so apt.

I do have this picture of three men emerging from the Beetle. I had one in the 60's, and it took me everywhere, but it felt like a toy car. I think they were smaller then. A happy and healthy New Year to you and Michael, and peace to all.lil Glucksternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288522126331817172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-37863802803447170982010-12-29T19:00:51.750-08:002010-12-29T19:00:51.750-08:00The Thought Propels the Sound.

And one day she knows, she'll be happy. Just not quite yet."<br /><br />How beautifully put, and a lesson to everyone who has lost someone they loved this year, or at any time really. We all are either in need of learning this, or are in the process of accepting it and just getting one with it. As you say, it is "the new normal."<br /><br />--AliceA.
