unhurried
a mellow soul
she took time
to smell the roses
words not in her vocabulary
deadline
rush hour
multitasking
jumping to conclusions
but I only met her at 30
settled in her little abode
in her favorite mountains
a lifetime goal already met
perhaps as a teenager or in college
she would hurry more
be on time
complete assignments by deadlines
sure she had strong opinions
was a vocal advocate
for the downtrodden
children and animals
but at a snail's pace
why the hurry
might miss something
along the way
we talk about slowing down
enjoying our surroundings
but she lived it
an example for all
no worries
all you need is a mountain to climb
and a dog to pet
life is good
Just thinking of you Kay, missing you, a year since 'piglet went home,' this
sentiment seen penned on your kitchen calendar recently. After a year of
grieving, things are getting some better at your house. Michelle has moved in with
her kids to look after Kennon. The house is probably cleaner than it has been
in a long time, well except when Cecilia comes to visit :)
Everyone seems happy to be there, Kennon is not so lonely
anymore, Michelle is not so worried about him being alone, Jacob is loving fishing
in the pond, Mickayla is doting on grandpa, tucking him into bed every night. Jack
was there all summer and helped with the never-ending mowing and helping out
around the farm.
A yearlong transition that was unexpected and very hard at
times, but coming out on this side of it, there are once again smiling faces at
your house. I hope you can see all of this from your perch and are smiling
along with them. I cherish our time together, love and miss you bunches.
