Rest in peace Nan.

The children's song about the little ducks leaving the nest to fly away has always been one of my favorites. Every mother has seen their babies fly away and rejoiced. Life comes full circle. Animals live that same cycle. Babies grow up. Birds leave the nest. Life goes on. So when the three ducks show up every year near my patio I am not surprised. But I am puzzled that it always seems to be the same three. Something just doesn't seem right. It appears the one did not fly away at all. Five little ducks Went out to play Over the hills and far away. The mommy duck went "quack, quack quack," Four little ducks came swimming back... And then Three Two and One. A drake, a female duck (a hen) and a not quite a drake but still not a hen gather here on the 5th green of the golf course. She leads and the other two follow along obediently. They eat, sleep, and guard each other. Each and every day this time of year they come. I have not named them. Jinxing them would be very pos...
Sorry for your loss. Of course I never met her, but judging from the photo she seemed to be a bright light in the world.
ReplyDeleteShe was a soft spoken genuinely good person. Her husband absolutely adored her. They were married for 60+ years. I grieve for him too.
DeleteSo sorry for the loss of your dear friend. Very sad news
ReplyDeleteYou know I do feel a real loss. But she died in her sleep which is such a blessing. I am realizing at this stage in my life that those blessing come in many shapes and sizes. Nan deserved to be treated with love and care. Her losses were many.
