I got very little sleep @NatureLover 😔 Hi @Lee71 💕
Wasnt helped by the wind which sounded like it was lifting the roof off throughout the night. Very windy and horrible all night and expected all day today again. I really hate the wind. When my brother had his car accident and my niece died, the weather was just like this ... cold and very windy. Five years ago this coming Saturday. Just another of those freakish things that should never have happened. Freezing cold gale force winds, travelling slowly on a lonely country road after doing some work on a neighbouring farm, an overhead tree limb breaks off crashing onto their car. Slow speed drifting off the road and sideswipes one single small sappling tree. A piece of metal shearing off the passenger side door, and that was the end of dear little Emma. 💔 I hate wind! I really hate the wind!
Em 🌹

I know how hard anniversaries like that can be, I've got a pretty significant one coming up if I get that far.
I'm sorry the wind hasn't let up today, I wish I could do something to make you feel a,little more at ease, or help you feel better. If There's anything, anything at all I can do, please let me know.
And know I'm here, as I am sure @NatureLover is here for you as well . And others.

Thank you for linking that beautiful song, Lee ❤
I remember, you've linked it before. I also meant to tell you, Sugarland's Fall Into Me was not available on Spotify, when I went to add it.
11 degrees, and you didn't take your coat! How was your doctor's appointment? @Lee71
It's cloudy here, 12 degrees but no rain yet...
