Sending prayers to your neighbor who fell. How lucky was he that you and hubby were close by. No words for the family who lost a child. What does one say besides a heartfelt, Iām sorry? šš
I agree, CK. There are no words and its perhaps at those times that action speaks so much louder. There is a GoFundMe page for little Ezekial's family who live on the tiny island country of of Nuie in the Pacific. https://www.gofundme.com/f/ezekiel-and-his-family-fight-cancer
Yesterday my yoga class did deep hip opening work, at the end the teacher reminded me to be gentle with myself for the next day or two as hips store emotion and this work may bring up strong emotions. Now I read this post and am almost overwhelmed by the depth and strength of the emotions your words have stirred. Thank you, for awhile now Iāve wondered if the times we are living thru had hardened my heart to the point of numbness, this morning I know thatās not the case.
Speedy recovery to your friend and gentleness to you and your hubby while the stirred memories of your own experience are processed.
Nothing but love and kindness those impacted by the death of the young boy. Your hearts are a beautiful gift.
Thank you Kate and sending back to you as well. I didn't know that about the hips. I have permanently damaged rightside glutes and the pain sits around the hip, buttock and groin. Maybe that's why.
The one thing I have learned from most folk in my ambit is that emotional and physical pain can be like a tsunami and yet, there is still part of the human heart and soul that can thrive and blossom. Every time you write a comment to my posts, I can see yours is flowering well...
What a week!!! Iām so glad that all is well and that you have the making of those little hearts to help you through the next bit. Take care dear Prue. šš
Stitching away as your message came through, Beth. I think we will reach our target of at least 100+ by Tuesday. Then I have to rely on Australia post to get them Express to Sydney in time. I shall be holding my breath. The timeline is VERY tight.
We never have to look far to find someone hurting, do we. So sorry to hear of your neighbor's accident (especially at 80 years of age.) And the loss of a child is unthinkable. Your omoiyari is and will be appreciated by many. Compassion may appear to be in short supply, but I have to remind myself that good news stories don't get the same attention as the bad stuff.
I agree that when you find something that works buy several. And hopefully the Terrier is recovering well.
There are indeed good news stories and if only the media would become savvy enough to realise its what we want, that we would watch more news if it was better.
Husband and self no longer watch TV news or read newspapers. Our lives have improved measurably.
This post reads just like life itself: the unexpected, the frightening, the beauty of every day and all balanced out nicely with your resilience for keeping on keeping on. (And those little hearts of yours are so touching.) Your husband sounds like an incredible human being and such a disturbing story about your friend. Those kind of random things that come out of nowhere are SO unsettling and yet when you're in the thick of it (as you clearly both were) you did everything right! Very impressed as always. And thank you so, SO much for the shout-out here - I am honoured! A few brave subscribers have already come forward so my day is absolutely made. Woohoo! xo
What a week indeed! Your stitching fingers must be as tired as your helpful heart, in service with such warm kindness. Your compassion is flowing out into the world and creating those gently expanding ripples. What a productive response to trauma ā¤ļø.
Sending you and all in your circle healing thoughts. Wishing you a calmer week ahead!
Your and your husband are true heroes, PrueāāOmoiyariā in action. Thank you for sharing the shattering experience of your husbandās accidentāIām very glad he has made a (nearly) full recovery. I hope your friend is able to do so as well. And may your darling little hearts reach the bereaved family in time. ā¤ļø
Dear Prue, I'm hoping that your friend is recovering and will get back to his previous fitness, although I suspect that it will take some time. I'm sure that it brought back the memories of darling husband's accident .
Such a lovely thing you and your friends have done for the memorial service , I'm sure they will be very much appreciated by the family of the little boy and will bering them all comfort to know that others are thinking of them in their grief xx
Thank you, Libby. Our friend is missing 2" of bone at the top of his humerus - wasn't a fractured scapula (how could the x-rays be read so badly???) so of course he must have surgery and a plate. At 80+. Not good. just posted the hearts express to Sydney. It's a nice feeling...
Oh Prue thats not good, I agree with what you say about the x ray :/ I hope that the surgery goes well for him, but always a risk as we get older, but he doesn't really have much of an option. Good to hear that the hearts are on the way, you and your heart ladies will have made such a difference to the family and their friends at the memorial . Definately a lovely thing to do xx

Thank you, Susan.
We three have finished our hearts in time and now it's just a question of relying on the speed of our mail service. Fingers crossed.
