Happy Christmas ~ And A Sad Farewell To A Much Loved & Cherished Friend.

This is a very mixed post. Firstly I would like to wish everyone who reads my blog, new friends and old a very happy and peaceful Christmas. This is such a special time, this year we have 2 new little grandaughters Emily & Megan celebrating their very first Christmas, they are both a little bit young yet to understand, but I'm sure by next year they will both be enjoying the magic and excitement. Belle is 4 years old now, and really excited, I bet she will be up very early in the morning to see if Santa has appreciated her " good behaviour" :-). Little Charlotte was visiting us yesterday all better now after her treatment for Leukaemia, busily ripping open her Christamas cards. By next Christmas we will ahve another little grandaughter, my grandson Matthew will be visiting on 27th, he will no doubt be feeling very out numbered by all these girls ;-)

A little while ago I posted about my cousin Franks wife who was terminally ill. Sadly Sissy died in the early hours of Christmas Eve. She was just 36 years old and the mother of 11 children, including 1 year old twins.

Sissy passed peacefully in her sleep, having hugged and kissed all of her very much loved children goodnight. I cannot even begin to tell you how saddened I am to be making this post at all, but more so at this time of year. I am sure that you will all hope and pray her husband and children can some how find some peace and comfort.... but how I really do not know.

Sissy seems to have known that last evening was her last, she told the children she may not be with them for Christmas, as she maybe had a " very important birthday party to attend"..and this was said shortly after she told the younger one why presents were exchanged at Christmas, because it was the birthday of Baby Jesus and the three wise men gave him gifts.

If in some heavenly place there is a party for the baby Jesus, all I can say is it will be a rip roarer with Sissy there ;-).

Sissy passed on the night before full moon, a very important night, and my beliefs are that tonight her spirit will make it's journey to the spirit world. and she will have the "Silver Goddess" to light her path.

The picture above depicts very well a place I visit in dreams. I woke early this morning and half awake and half asleep I felt certain it is a place of peace where Sissy rests. There will be some of you reading this who will wonder what I am speaking of, others will know full well, one of the ones who knows is Frank, so he will know what I'm saying. Estrella also knows and to her I say the water is flashing with darting silver fish, all is well in that world.
