Sorrow can be devastating......we experience sorrow because of sin coming into the world and with sin came sorrow. Experiencing sorrow can alter our pattern of living. Josiah's death was so unexpected, so untimely and so unimaginable that this sad event seemed to sap all my creative juices I had always loved to write and I enjoyed doing this family history of sorts. It was an historical account of our family for you in this generation to enjoy and to learn about your roots.
But after Josiah's funeral, I just could not get back to writing. Just thinking of it made me dissolve into tears. The tears still come along with the thoughts, but at last I feel I can get back to chronicling family history for you of this and the next generation. Josiah is in a better place and we all look forward to also being with him again some day. Josiah lived his life not selfishly but for others and remains a wonderful example to us all. And so I can finally think of getting back to adding to these family musing - as processed by this mother.
I have not touched this blog for nine months, and so had no idea where to start technically. You all know what a technical dunce I am! But Steve and Dad worked long hours to me back into my blog mode and so I continue with more sharing of events, emotions and history for all of you. My thanks to my menfolks for their help getting me technically going again!!
