Twenty Years Ago and One Year Ago

So this date marks days that are held in my memory. Twenty years ago today, my father died and Woody's funeral was one year ago this date. Once again, I remembered a year ago more yesterday than today, since Woody's funeral was on a Sunday. Ever since the 16th I have had a different mentality about the days that are passing me by since Woody died. And, I realized that it is the fact that on any given date between June 16, 2024 and June 16, 2025, I could look back to see what was happening in Woody's and my life "a year ago." And, now if I look back a year ago, Woody wasn't a part of my life anymore. Maybe I have that feeling more than others might, as I have the blog to look back on. Often during this past year, I would look up in the blog to see what "we" were doing a year ago. I still have the blog to look back on...but the time is no longer measured as I have been measuring it! Maybe this makes sense?!? Anyway, just an observation that I have made over the last week. But now if I look back on what was happening a year ago...it is just "widow stuff!" Tomorrow, a year ago, is the day we buried Woody...so after tomorrow this kind of anniversary is over for the time being at least! Today I finished up the downstairs spiffing up that I started on Saturday...so the stairs got vacuumed and the dusting is done. I started a new Christmas ornament, as I did finish one yesterday. I started a new book and continued listening to another one that I am in the midst of. It has been a hot day...summer has arrived. When I was coming home from prayer meeting just a few minutes ago, the car registered the outside temperature as 91°and that was around 7pm...pretty warm for that time of the evening. Nathan and Isaac stopped by this morning and mowed, weedeated, and did some bush trimming. I appreciate them doing this on such a hot day. They left to move on to their next mowing job...the Motlow College BCM yard. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
