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”

The hurt and the healer
By Patti Dansereau — Mar 11, 2015 2:16am This afternoon Marc went to order Bernadette’s monument for her grave and he dropped me off at the thrift store as I was deliberately avoiding the funeral home for fear I’d burst into tears. My goal at the thrift store was to do something more cheerful – find someContinue reading “The hurt and the healer”
An attempt to expel a demon
By Patti Dansereau — Feb 26, 2015 11:51am It has come to my attention over the last little while that when I write about something that’s really bothering me it tends to just go away.

I’ve tried to look elsewhere to start a new blog but it feels like I’m leaving Bernadette behind the same way we walked away andContinue reading “Ash Wednesday and a Confession”
Where is God?
By Patti Dansereau — Feb 15, 2015 1:21am Yesterday Marc asked me “Where is God in all you’ve been through?” He answered his own question saying it was in Bernadette’s smile. This morning as I was sitting in my rocking chair feeding Zoe I was thinking about his question and answer and I started to cry. Continue reading “Where is God?”
Citizen of Heaven!
By Patti Dansereau — Feb 8, 2015 12:25am Marc and I wish to thank everyone who came last night and this morning to pay their final respects to Bernadette and to console our family. We were told there must have been close to 400 people this morning There were quite a few people who came from greatContinue reading “Citizen of Heaven!”
