I think a lot of people ask themselves this these months...
Do we get a second chance to travel, it´s the other half of my life!
This is for Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals.
Henry 🦁
We´re cool, man!
We´ll travel soon and Corinna(s) will be under control!
Just a side-note. Our "chancellor", Merkel, has "no words" for the flooding in NRW.
No words?! No nothing! Some even have no drinking water and she has no words, sitting in her her fat, safe, place.
Do you have words for that?!
Firefighters offer water-tanks with drinking water and she has "no words".
Germany goes downhill since she took over.
Sorry, not the point, but this is in the news while I try to be in for Sami´s work.
And it makes me cry.
We don´t have a drop of rain, and I am thankful for that, but how can the "head" of a country have no words and do nothing to help the people who flood away.
Firefighters do her job and I now water my plants.
A pain, this "leader". Why not let firefighters take over?
They know what to do.
Oh.
And to my Dad.
He had to leave us 2002 this day.
Darn cancer, you.
My Brother and I were at his side the last weeks - I want to fall over and die in an instant come the day of leaving. I dreamed of all that and woke alone with ... pain. Loneliness.
My Mum still made it until 2011 without her "right half"... then cancer took her, too, end of December.
On to the swing, to sleep by myself.

My Condolences As Its Almost Two Decades Nows - Big Hugs My Dear
Cheers
No falling over for me please, I would rather die in my sleep, just sleep peacefully and never wake up, but not yet. I'd like another 40 years.
Thank you, Padre - hope it stops hurting some day...

River, in the sleep is good, too - just no hospital(s) for months.
A big hug Iris xx
It's very sad what has happened in the south of Germany, too much destruction.
Sad that Merkel doesn't know what to say.
Thanks for participating in Monday Murals, a nice find.
...we all need second chances. Nature has been watering the plants lately.
Sami, thank you.
Yes, glad for once we´re in the North... and sad to see how Merkel lost again in all.
That she has no words, OK, but ACTION she should get into.

Tom, I need to use our water from the tap again.
the pain of loss never really goes away. You just find ways of dealing with it. My parents both left in 2013. Dad passed in August and Ma followed in November. They are gone but still with me. My memories keep them alive. I heard an expression, I think it's Jewish. Instead of saying sorry for your loss, the expression is May his/her/their memory be a blessing.
Funny mural and awesome Henry.
Great saying. Yes, we say they´re not gone when not forgotten.
At least your Mum could follow soon, mine suffered so long alone. But at least she met her first Grandchild, my Big Niece.
Henry says thank you (and blushes again ;-)...)
Love the quirky mural Iris, I hate it when people refer to their partners as their 'other half' I prefer to think about them as a plus one, being a whole person myself.. that was a bit of a ramble 😀 It's heartbreaking to see the floods over there, I can't imagine what that would be like. The strange weather around the world is almost as if the earth has had enough and has decided to fight back, can't blame it! Just keep the happy memories of mum and dad in your heart Iris, they wouldn't want you to be sad 💛
I refer to the other half as travels 😀 I´m a bit with you, partner-wise, we´re fully people on our own. Are we?
Yes, fighting back is the only option - sadly it hit people who likely recycled and did all their best...
You are right about our parents, too, but it makes me so sad remembering this day. The lights out, his dumb sister folding his hands to a prayer and putting a rose into them, ALL wrong...
Can understand your anger. Similar situations happening all over the world unfortunately.
Lucky you can soon start travel!
Loss of loved ones can just be shoved back in the memory, always difficult. Time only helps cope not heal.
Coping, yes. Travel. No, I don´t think so....
I'm sad for you about your parents. You miss them, like I miss mine. Not all the time, but at moments.
That mural is great. That's for sure.
I understand you're angry and you don't like Merkel. But what did you expect her to say? The situation is so terrible, what can one say?
Sometimes it feels like we have been cut in half with all the covid restrictions and not being able to see friends like we normally would.
Bertiebo I don´t expect her to say but DO! The firefighters helped. By themselves. On their cost.
She could´ve sent help but did nothing... again.

RedPat, nothing to add...
A terrible situation with all the flooding over there and all the wild fires in the western US. It seems to be getting worse.
It´s scary....
It is interesting how we remember the day loved ones eave us. I'm sure wherever he is he appreciates you thinking of him. And you are right, cancer is such a nasty thing.
One doesn't stop missing loved ones.
Erika, yes, weird I dream of it that night....

William, sadly... or luckily? not.
Sending a big hug on the day of the loss of your dad. That's not that many years ago and it probably still feels quite fresh. I don't think we ever stop missing those we loved and I'm grateful for that.
That's a fun mural, Iris. I like it.
Sorry about the floods in the south of Germany. It's been all over the news here. Merkel was in the states when the rains/floods started.
Thank you, Jeanie. It feels like yesterday...

Elizabeth, great Mural on a great holiday - Merkel just keeps getting away with anything (she was here not doing anything, as usual).
