have tried to return a couple of times but this last time I was taking care of my husband who was ill. he passed away on april 8th here at the farm and it has taken me a while to get my farmgirl lets back under me. not sure they are there yet as I do feel abit wobbly. anyway. I will try and catch up here and see what all is going on.

So sorry to hear about your husband. This is the best place to be when your legs are wobbly though. Farmgirls are great at helping to hold you up so go right ahead and lean on us.
BIG hug,

I was just reading a book on Mother Teresa and the Beatitudes. When I read of your loss, I thought:"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted". I pray that you will find comfort here with the farmgirls. Sending you hugs (lots of hugs).

Frannie,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your dear husband. It is a
difficult path, (it's been over 6 years ago for me). Your farm sisters
will be here to lean on. Glad you are back with us.

Frannie,
I've thought often of and prayed for you, and wondering how things were with your "journey". I'm so sorry you lost your hubby . . . I will continue prayers as you continue on the journey.
Glad you're back here . . . trusting you'll find some friendship and comfort through this Connection!
Sending hugs and prayers!

your warm welcomes are very helpful and thank you so much for taking the time to reach out to me. I am on the mend here but I don't know if this wound ever fully heals. I just know I needed to be here back among so many sisters. thanks again for your love and comfort.

Hi Frannie,
I missed this post. So sorry to hear about your Husband. I knew he was having health issues, but I also know you were there for him all the way. Kind of an empty feeling I'm sure. Hope we all can fill some of that up for you. Think of you often.
Hugs Nancy Jo

Hi Frannie,
I was out and about at an antique mall and saw this sign and thought of you......

I will say a prayer for you tonight as well.

thanks to all who have taken the time to post here. I am in a crazy phase where I want to stay up all nite and sleep all day....well I don't want to but it seems my body wants to. it means the world to me to see my familiar and new farmgirls here. Janice , marcy and sweet nancy jo...I realize how much I have missed you all. I tried a couple of times to make the journey back here, and I thought of yall a lot. country was sick for over 2 years but only was home with me giving him care since july. during his illness I relied on facebook to get the word out to friends and family about his journey.....now I am back with my other family and I feel so blessed that you are all here. missed you so much. there is nothing like a farmgirl family. love you all. and now to catch up on all of your doings. love, fran and country

Frannie,
I am so sorry for the loss of Country. I am praying for the Lord to wrap you in His arms and comfort you. I am also praying that He would give you peace in your heart and the strength that you need day to day.
Maybe you could work on merit badges to keep yourself busy. I wish we lived closer I would love to give you a big hug!

when country passed away i had the memorial service which was 3 weeks after his passing to plan and put together. that was on april 27th , since then i have just tried to catch up on my sleep and rest from so many sleepless days and nights. then of course i had to apply and put together the paperwork for spousal benefits, from social security as well as from the veterans administration. i had no idea that the paperwork would take 6-8 weeks to just be sent to me...so unfortunately i am still trying to sort our my retirement income and set up the payments ....so at that point i will take a deep breathe and figure out what to do with the rest of my life. i have so many decisions to make and also a lot of things that i don't want to change and hope i wont have to......i never thought about merit badges to work on but that is a good idea and i will think about it....i already do a lot of those things anyway so it might be fun to do it in an organized manner. thanks for the suggestions Sharon. ande thanks to all that are trying to keep me in their prayers at this time.
love
