This is the anniversary of our pup, Owen’s death. I posted “A Day from Hell” in my blog. So many dear friends wrote, called, came to offer condolences and support.
Yesterday we had a different kind of death here. One of our beautiful evergreens succumbed to the 50 mph winds. It was 25 years old. Looked healthy on the outside, but when it blew over, it was revealed that there seemed to be no root structure to hold it. Hmmm … how had it survived all those years?
But that tree was young and immature.
Life can be like that. Young, immature, lacking a sufficient root system.
Two of our friends lost 30 year old sons to suicide this past month. No tree or dog can compare. It’s an unimaginable sorrow. My heart goes out to those families.
God bless you. May your life be deeply rooted in love and purpose.
Hugs, JanBeek (with my life’s love … thank you, Bob… I am so blessed!)
Here we are at a recent amazing Pittsburgh Pirates game.

You two amaze me with all the travel and fun things you do! God Bless you both. 🤗 Judy
Thank you, Judy! We are blessed to still have each other and enough health & resources to travel!
Beautiful tribute to all losses.
Thank you. 😊
Soo much sadness. Trees planted close together form a bond with their roots. They support each other, nurture and encourage each other as in a family. When one dies, the others trees know about it. To help them during their grief, you might consider a couple treatments of liquid vitamin B-1, and a 10-10-10 solid fertilizer.
Thank you for the advice. I will look into that.
I’m so sorry your friends lost their sons. It is absolutely unimaginable that a young person can be in so much despair that they are driven to take their own life. My heart goes out to their whole family. And yes, poor Owen. 😥😢😭 Taken from this world much too young, too. I’m so grateful that I still have my darling parents! ❤️❤️❤️
