By Patti Dansereau — Apr 20, 2015 12:08pm Today is another painful first and it has been torturing me all week. Today being Catherine’s 10th birthday. Last week we were making the plans for her party and then I walked into the kitchen and just cried on Marc’s shoulder. I couldn’t stop thinking of how BernadetteContinue reading “Another painful first”

Flying high with a headache!
By Patti Dansereau — Apr 16, 2015 2:18am Today I had the opportunity to go for coffee, which turned into lunch, with Mary Jane. She’s invited me when we’d popped in to see her last Wednesday while we were up at the lab. All week I looked forward to the time we would have togetherContinue reading “Flying high with a headache!”
A Year Ago Today
By Patti Dansereau — Apr 13, 2015 1:11am Zoe was baptized on Divine Mercy Sunday this time last year. It’s amazing what a difference one year can make. Happy Spiritual Birthday, Zoe! COMMENTS By Mary Anne Neutelings — Apr 13, 2015 9:17am What aContinue reading “A Year Ago Today”
Ten weeks today
By Patti Dansereau — Apr 10, 2015 1:46am It’s hard to believe it was ten weeks ago today that Bernadette passed away. On the one hand it still feels like just yesterday or last week, and on the other hand it feels like so long ago already. How is it that it can feel both atContinue reading “Ten weeks today”
Going out on a limb
By Patti Dansereau — Apr 7, 2015 4:41pm Today Johanna and I were chatting and she repeated a line that I’ve heard all my life, “God only gives us what we can handle.” She’d read it on a Scoliosis ‘community’ website. That line was said to me many times since Bernadette got sick. But today, hearing it again inContinue reading “Going out on a limb”
Spiritual Birthday
By Patti Dansereau — Mar 30, 2015 10:29am Father Derrek, from Kamloops, came to our parish in Salmon Arm about five years ago and told us that we should be celebrating two birthdays every year. The day we were born and our spiritual birthday, the day we were baptised and became adopted children of God. WellContinue reading “Spiritual Birthday”
After party blues
By Patti Dansereau — Mar 22, 2015 9:44pm We all had a wonderful time at Pepe’s birthday supper. The meal was simple but oh so delicious. Zoe even ate mushed up rice and carrots. She particularly enjoyed the dessert though, an angel food cake layered with a yummy custard and garden strawberries. For Pepe’s birthdayContinue reading “After party blues”
Detour
By Patti Dansereau — Mar 21, 2015 1:40am The last couple days have been very busy with different friends popping in for tea, Catherine having friends over to play every day (as it is spring break), and doing a lot of reading about grief and how to work through it and move forward. It all seemed toContinue reading “Detour”
What little girls think are miracles.
By Patti Dansereau — Mar 18, 2015 9:34pm Today Catherine had her two friends Amber and Sienna over to play for the day. The plan was to go see the live action “Cinderella” movie in the afternoon. About a half an hour before we were to leave, Piper, Catherine’s friend from down the street popped inContinue reading “What little girls think are miracles.”
Not my imagination but eyes opened
By Patti Dansereau — Mar 17, 2015 12:01am This past Sunday our Pastor told us that we all suffer from blindness in one form or another. When our focus is on one thing we miss something else. I think he said that a lot of the time we are also blind to the ways God worksContinue reading “Not my imagination but eyes opened”
