It's been a long,cold winter.
At last I take a real look outside and see that the sun has come up again, just as it did on the morning of the 21st December
the morning of the shortest day of the year
the morning of the lunar eclipse
the morning when my father passed away and was at peace at last.
Now parentless, I feel exposed and vulnerable like never before.
Yet even more sure that I carry on and really live this life.
...still craving my parents approval...
...and the sun will rise again tomorrow.

A new day never fails to begin no matter WHAT happens...
And live it you will.
Love to you and your wonderful family, who, although having not yet met, have found a place in my heart. :¬)

There's so much in this post, Maggie, I will ponder it for a long while. I guess this is the last of life's epochs: you are the grown up now, the training period has ended. I know how you feel, my mother died in 2006 (my father having stormed ahead by doing it in 1975), so I've been on the front-line for a few years and it still feels odd. But yes, the sun keeps doing what it does.
Thanks,
Maggie
Yes the sun will still shine
You inherited your parents love for life
You will always be with them in thought and spirit
They walk along side you every day
Vulnerable times - be strong Maggie

You'll always receive their approval in a different way. By dreams, by a simple wind through your hair ....you'll know it.
Be strong and look for happiness in your work.

I am very sorry to hear about your father's death. My mother died on Dec. 22, 1966 and even though it was years and years ago, you are never the same after you lose a parent! The holidays can be very hard. In many ways, they will always be with you!
we always continue seeking parental approval - i believe - at least, many do - but nevertheless - you are so so right, dear lady - the sun DOES always rise - again!
Dear Maggie,
I fell absolutely in love with your work the year before last when i discovered embroidery and textile art.
I hope you are feeling ok, regaining equilibrium and that soon we can see more of your beautiful and inspiring work.
Much love,
Rowan.
No matter the age, being orphaned is a difficult transition. The cycle of time and life continues.
All I really know is that another day's gone by...
the words "acceptable flesh" grabbed me, came to see what was happening in your world...in mine loss of parents (1992, 2000)loss of husband (2009), an orphan and a widow! yes the sun does indeed still rise!
