TWiP: Grief and Praise

This Week in Pictures, Week 48, 2019

Dad’s funeral, Thanksgiving, and work: this week in a nutshell. I’ve run the gamut of emotions, and I suspect there is more of that to come.

I’d like to tell you a little bit about my father, but I’m all out of words at this point. I wrote his obituary last week, though, and you are invited to read that. (The funeral home left my email signature in it, which was unintentional, but amusing. I assure you I was not trying to use the occasion for free advertising, LOL!)

I’m really feeling this song right now: Grief and Praise by Glenn Phillips.

So, what is This Week in Pictures?

It’s a roundup of the microblogging I’ve done on Flickr and Instagram all week. This includes photos I shot for Project 365 and any other extra images I may have posted.

Photos taken with 📷 (Canon EOS 80D) or 📱 (Samsung Galaxy S7).

Ready? Cast your mind back to this time last week…

Everyone placed a flower on the casket as they filed out of the church.

I lost my father this week, and today was his funeral. I always knew my Dad was a good guy, but over the last few days I have heard so many stories from his neighbors and friends who all said the same nice things about him. It was heartwarming. *sigh* I miss him already.

I have so needed this day of knitting in my pajamas.

Monday

329/365
An old family friend recently joked with me that hot dogs must be brain food, because I’m pretty smart, and they’re all I ate for the first several years of my life. Sounds good to me. Bring ’em on.

Tuesday

This tiny pumpkin, when I bought it, was mostly orange. Now it’s mostly green. It’s almost time to replace it with some Christmas lights anyway.

Wednesday

331/365
Getting a good parking space after lunch today was not an issue, as you can see. A lot of the companies in this building had the afternoon off.

Thank you for all of your kind words on my last post ❤️

Uncle Neil playing with niece number four ♥

Friday

333/365
Unlike every other company in this office building, mine was open today. As I was leaving the (almost entirely empty) parking lot tonight on my way home, I saw something on fire in the distance. No idea what it was, but I hope it didn’t end up being as bad as it looked!
