cathy's happy flowers


Stunned....
getting word of the death of a friend is always terrible,
but when you hear that it was
suicide,
it becomes almost incomprehensible.
"Why" is on everyone's tongue...
"never would have seen that coming,"
 "How in the world?"

There are no words, nothing that can fill the gaps.
Our hearts and prayers
go out to these families 
from our days in
 Peachtree City, Ga.

I know about depression.
I've known about it for 36 years.
There is no cure except God's word.
That's why I cling to it so closely.
It is my lifeline,
my hope,
what keeps me from falling headlong,
what lifts up my head
 above the water.

Never take anything for granted.

Flowers bring so much joy.
This is how they looked after I planted them....
