Recently, it was the anniversary of when we said our final goodbyes to my father. I lit a candle in his memory #Dad. I cannot believe it has been 8 years since we said our final goodbyes to you.
My father had a strong Christian faith. He went to church most Sundays until he became too ill.
Easter weekend will always hold those saddest memories for me. ❤
Missing from my heart, however always remembered.

I am blessed.
Twice the Joy
To be blessed with a daughter is heaven’s own art,
A little piece of sunshine, a song in the heart.
But to be blessed with two—oh, what delight!
Two shining stars to light up the night.
One laugh, then another, like bells in the breeze,
Two sets of footsteps that dance with such ease.
Two voices that call you with love in their tone,
Two arms to hold you, you’re never alone.
They color your world in hues so divine,
With giggles and whispers and hands intertwined.
They teach you of strength wrapped in sweetness and grace,
Of courage and kindness that time can’t erase.
One dream, then another, they bloom side by side,
With wonder and magic they never can hide.
Double the memories, double the grace,
Two precious daughters, one warm embrace.
So thank you, dear life, for this bountiful part—
Two daughters, two treasures, one overflowing heart.
We used to walk our children here when they were younger. It was lovely to go down memory lane.
This evening, I attended a showing of “Snow White” at the Showcase Cinema. While I am too young to have watched the original animated Disney film at the cinema, when it was first released in 1938, I have seen it on dvd several times since then. Interestingly, one of my first dates with my ex-husband was to watch “Snow White” at the cinema. 🤣
The film featured several notable characters, including Bashful, Dopey, Doc, Sneezy, Happy, and Grumpy.
The film starred Rachel Zegler as Snow White, Andrew Burnap as Jonathon, and Gal Gadot as the Evil Witch.
I thoroughly enjoyed the film, as I felt a strong connection to Snow White. Its release coincided perfectly with Mother’s Day. I embrace the notion of being more like Snow White than the Wicked Witch. 😉
Overall, I found the film to be highly enjoyable and well worth a watch for both adults and children.
