Light & Shade

Light and shade,
Light and shade.

Early this morning it was a silly tale of emergency scotch eggs.
This evening it is a sad telephone call from a fellow Trelawnyd-ite about a dying partner
Life turns on a dime....so often
Does it  not?

  3. So sorry to hear this.

    We need the silly tales of scotch egg emergencies to get us through the trauma of day to day life and what it throws at those we care about sometimes.

  4. It does. And in the darkness it is hard to remember that the light is also there.
    I am sorry for your friends, and sure that you provide light. Where ever you are.

  6. It's the silliness which gives us the strength to endure the sadness; glad they have you to turn to.

    Possibly why the 'light' is so important.

  16. Thank goodness you were there, John. If I lived in your blessed village, you be the one I'd call too. Scotch eggs all around, my friend! Prayers to your friend...

  17. You're right; it's all part of the whole. Let us enjoy the lighter moments fully, not dreading the bad. Let us grieve the bad times fully, and know that the good will come again. Wishing your friend strength and peace.
