Rest in Peace
Ned Mercer
October 19, 1936 to June 23, 2012
A few days before he died Ned and I had this conversation.....
Ned - You know what I dreamed last night?
Me - No, what did you dream?
Ned - I dreamed that this trapeze (the apparatus he pulled up on to get out of bed) and all the ceiling was covered with flowers.
Me - What kind of flowers?
Ned - All colors, beautiful flowers.
Me - That sounds really beautiful.
I helped him get back in bed for a nap. I couldn't say anything else. Just kissed him on the forehead.
Ned has moved on to higher ground where the beautiful flowers are.
Needless to say the last five weeks have been very emotional and incredible difficult. I certainly have not felt like writing in this blog. And I'm not sure what the future of the blog is but yesterday something happened that I thought I should write about. I'm not making any promises but maybe.........

Oh Billie, I am so sorry to hear this. Sending you lots of blessings and hugs. I am saddened. I won't say more other than I send you ::strength.:: ::hugs::
Billie,
You've been on my mind a lot these last weeks. I hope it gets easier with time, and I also hope you keep writing.
But however you choose to move forward, I wholeheartedly support you.

Aaaugh, Blogger ate my last comment.
Billie, you've been on my mind a lot these last few weeks. I can't imagine what it's like to make such a huge adjustment, hopefully it gets easier with time.
Whatever you decide about the blog or writing of course I support you - but selfishly I hope you'll continue to share.
XOXO
Billie: I hope you keep writing! Putting thoughts to words to paper (or computer screen) is a wonderful tonic. May it help you through this difficult time... love from Annie and Jay in San Miguel
Speaking from my personal experience it is a long, hard road to travel; but I know that you can do it.
You have so many people who care about you and that are sending you good wishes.
Take care.
So very sorry for your loss. May your memories sustain you during this difficult time.

Oh Billie, my heard sank when I saw the title. I'm so sorry for you and your beautiful sons. Take your time and grieve.
Billie, I'm so sorry for you loss. I don't even want to think about what I will be like if this ever happens to me. I've been married to my DH for almost 18 years and he is my best friend, which is always how I could tell you felt about Ned just from reading your blog.
Please know my thoughts are with you.
