I'm so sorry. I know from experience that particular loss. When my Dad died I don't think I even realized how much I was just going through the motions every day until one day, about a year after my Dad's death, I heard myself laugh and I was startled because it was the first time I think I had genuinely laughed ... a REAL laugh and not just a forced laugh. At about the same time it was almost like I noticed the sky for the first time in a year. Suddenly I was aware again of the sun, the sky, the air around me. One day a co-worker saw me get off the elevator and she said that it was the first time she'd seen me look happy and bright in so long. This, too, was about a year after my Dad died. I think it really did take a full year (as is often said but I didn't really believe it) for me to really feel happiness and energy again. I miss my Dad still, for sure, but now thinking of him brings me comfort instead of sadness. I hope you get to this point, too. This remarkable cake is a good step toward finding your own soul again. Know that warm and caring thoughts from so many are being sent your way.<br />Heather Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10225483666564626507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31186364.post-51824392866663382862017-01-25T14:30:21.224-06:002017-01-25T14:30:21.224-06:00Welcome back, we've been keeping a cup of coff...Welcome back, we've been keeping a cup of coffee warm and a place by the fire.Rebekah of The Little Red Threadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03731979570871904656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31186364.post-65826441439056596982017-01-13T08:59:36.087-06:002017-01-13T08:59:36.087-06:00On a lighter note, that cake is AWESOME!

I'm very sorry. I will say a prayer for comfort and peace to continue to grow in you, especially through your creativity. In response to the comment above that jeannga6 said....I remember that part of grief when my husband died so young. I asked our Priest "What do I do with all my love???" And, odd as it may sound, I needed to be told that I could still love my husband even though he wasn't here. And, that was such a relief. I could still love him where he was now and I did. And, still do.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738013703083011762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31186364.post-61909961881988270062017-01-01T05:55:47.670-06:002017-01-01T05:55:47.670-06:00Someone once told me that grief is love with nowhe...Someone once told me that grief is love with nowhere to go.

Your dad's passing has added to your silence. The stump cake is amazing and it sounds as if it has unlocked your creativity or at least put a crack in it to let in the light. Let the light grow as it is in nature now.

Losing my own father has been so difficult and I miss him dearly. The good thing is that the good memories are the ones that are filling my heart and mind of late and I just miss him. The grieving is getting to be much less bitter and more sweet. <br /><br />Blessings dear one,<br />Denise LeavensNanaBeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01639187484063734188noreply@blogger.com
