You make an interesting point about the public figures - sometimes they seem to disappear for a few years, and suddenly their passing is announced. I find myself wondering what has happened to them in the interim. Life is bitter sweet indeed.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-70901115247911669912016-06-14T17:51:04.413-07:002016-06-14T17:51:04.413-07:00Oh my goodness, Trish, every hemisphere seems to b...Oh my goodness, Trish, every hemisphere seems to be flooding! It must be global warming.<br /><br />I love your plants, as usual, and it's good to see how Little Aussie keeps getting taller and taller, plus is as creative as ever.<br /><br />Losing a parent makes us feel like we are 10 years old. It's awful no matter how mature we are when they pass on. I also get sad when public figures who were part of my childhood die. Usually, I remember them in their prime and thought how quitely they go old, and now the world no longer has their talent. Life is bitter sweet.<br /><br />Little Aussie reminds us that life goes on.

In some ways, I think Little Aussie is the story of love continued, with life renewing itself as it should. Still, this does not make up for our sorrow in losing someone we love.Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-73723113930452924892016-06-10T16:59:18.471-07:002016-06-10T16:59:18.471-07:00We definitely got our toes wet last weekend didn&#...We definitely got our toes wet last weekend didn't we.

I am glad you are getting lots of support and love, it must be odd to be the oldest member of your family, I never thought of that any more, but following your mention I realised that must be strange. I don't know if you want to be a matriarch, but I am sure that you are a great family inspiration and that is a good thing isn't it. Thank you for stopping by my post today, it was a treat to hear from you. Hugs! xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.com
