First of all, I want to thank everyone who left comments of love and prayers and support for me last week. You cannot know how much your thoughts and prayers meant to me. Thank you!
My father-in-law passed away on Sunday, June 3rd, surrounded by his loving family. We spent the week connecting with family and friends. It was an emotionally draining few days. I think my husband and his siblings are starting to recover, though. Little by little...
I just have a few photos from the Monet exhibit at the New York Botanical Garden.

Hello Mary,
ReplyDeleteIt will take time - some days will be easier than others - good memories will be shared - and as I learned, the sibling relationship is the longest one we have in our lives - it is good your husband has his siblings to connect with and to share with - and most importantly that he has you. My prayers to you all
I appreciate you,
Kathy
Oh, Mary, I'm so sorry to have heard about your father in law! You and your family are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Shelia ;)
Your photography is always so perfect!

Commiserations to you and your family at this sad time. I'm sure they're are some wonderful memories left behind for all to share though. The Monet Exhibit was simply spectacular. What fantastic colour.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for your family's loss, Mary. May your memories of good times through the years comfort all of your.
ReplyDeleteYour post is full of such a lot of lovely colour - and I am starved for colour, as spring takes it's time to warm up.
What a tough week. I hope that healing continues. The conservatory has such beautiful architecture - perfect for housing gorgeous flowers.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely place. I would love to see it with my camera in hand. I also take photographs of nature:

Morning Mary, sorry to hear of the loss to the family of your FIL. May he rest in peace .
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs, reminds me of our holiday last year to France when we visited Monets garden in Giverny. To actually be standing there was a dream for me and see see where he lived and died as he is buried in the local cemetery.
Love the conservatory at the Botanical Gardens.
