On Jan 2, Opie's mom passed due to complications from Parkinson's and Kidney disease. After 6 months of hell - she was ready to go and had a very peaceful death.
With our parents and my Aunt Fran gone, it's time for us to examine our priorities, move forward, and live our very best artful life.
Change is on the horizon -- but that will be another post at a later date -- so stay turned!
Right now we wish to remember Opie's parents with this picture of when they were dating.
They married in 1944 and enjoyed a full and happy life together. Who can ask for more!
My deepest sympathy for your losses, darlings. Glad to hear though that you are re-examining your priorities and that they are leaning towards an even more artful life. Hugs, xoxo

I can see both of them in O - I was sorry to hear if your loss (it does help to know that she is at peace). Love you, both!
