Since his death, it is not the same

Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?

I loved to bead. I loved making things with my beads. I made bracelets, necklaces and rings, and even bookmarks. I love to go to the bead shops and pick out new items. I spent a lot of money, even my lunch money, and would go without eating, but it was worth it.

My greatest cheerleader was my Dad. Everything I made for him was “beautiful.” He passed after my last craft show a few years ago in the spring. The years are going by so fast, it seems like yesterday.

I put away my tools and my beads, and I have no desire to make anything.

Not yet. It will all come back.

I just need time.
