I am sobbing right now because I stopped by a blog that I have been following for a long time, The Good Cook. This blog is written by a wonderful cook and a delightful woman. Today when I stopped by, I did not expect to be greeted by the news that her beloved husband has passed. This was sudden and unexpected. All I know of this man is what she has shared on her blog and her love and admiration has always been palpable.
Life is full of unexpected turns. They have been building their dream home on this idyllic piece of land that they bought- so excited to realize this dream together. We just never know what the future holds.
Please, please stop by and leave her some kind words. I have found this blogging community to be so wonderful and supportive. Please reach out to this lovely woman even if you have never come across her before.
This is very kind of you UM. A blogger did the same for me when my mother passed and it was very much appreciated. I will drop by.
On my way now.
Thank you for sharing this, Mami. I’m going over there now. So sad.
I left a comment… I feel so sad. 🙁
So do I. My heart aches for her.
Oh that totally sucks. I am sorry.
I recently learned that one of my long time followers and commenters passed last week. It hit me harder than I thought it would.
On my way, Mami….
On my way over. Thank you for posting this.
How sad! I totally unerstand. Going there now….
Horrible. I just went and it makes me sad. Now I’m crying for her too. It just breaks your heart.
I really like your blog. Very good posts! Please continue posting such awesome cnotent.
Mami,
You (and the blogging world) will never now how much kind words, prayers and virtual support means to me. It may seem strange to some people to post about this most intimate time of my life – but WE (bloggers) know that writing it all down helps. I am comforted to know that what I wrote about TBHITW in the past reflected my love for him. I know he knew it. We were one of the lucky ones. We knew true love is rare. Happiness is fleeting. Life is short. I feel like glass most days – as if at any time I will shatter – but posting, reading comments, feeling all the compassion and virtual hugs keeps me together.
Thank you for your continued support and good words.
The Good Cook
This is so darn sad. I read through the past few months of her posts. She has so much to handle and I cannot imagine going through this. This was kind of you to let us know so we can share this tragic loss.
I was so sad when I read her post the other day too. Such a wonderful lady and such a sad thing to have happened to her.
You’re a good person, Mami
Devastating!!!
In reading her (for the first time today) blog, her devotion to her family is so obvious. Going back in the earlier posts, I saw a photo with a pretty woman with 6 children. Is that The Good Cook and her children?
My heart just aches for all of them. The road ahead will be rocky for awhile….I am hoping they have wonderful friends and family to support them.
I will go over and visit with her. That is very sad.
Thats sad. 🙁 I will visit!
