SUCCESS!!! Slideshow tribute #1 is completed

Posted on October 15, 2009 by Mary K. Smith

Okay… almost 2PM… I really should be in bed… luckily I got a nice long nap this AM.

But, I DID IT!!!

On this rainy dreary day filled with frozen fingers that were too cold to undo knots and could barely work buckles. I managed to get a sheet on poor shivering Squall. I HATE reynauds. My fingers were burning and hurt so badly. Last year, I would have came in the house in tears because of the pain and frustration.

This year… they still hurt, but no time for tears over fingers. John faced cancer and died from the disease with barely a complaint and very few tears. I can be strong enough to deal with thirty minutes of frozen fingers!

Here is the video link to slide show funeral tribute created by Mary Ann Kyte.

One down two to go… later… first bed…

About Mary K. Smith

I was widowed in July 2009, when I lost my beloved husband, John, to melanoma. Cancer SUCKS. We have a young son who was just a year old when his father died. I live on a small farm in Maryland which is home to horses, cats, and a dog. I started this blog as a way for me to heal, a way to remember my husband, and eventually I'd like to share it with our son so he can see the love that his father had for him, the love that we had for each other, what a great person his father was, and how hard his father fought to live.
