Four years ago or so, I found SoulCast by a co incidence. I signed up there and wrote a post. I never thought I would get a comment or anything . This was on a week end and I went out driving with my husband.
When I came back I had many comments welcoming me. Among them was Polar. Later but not much later Quiet joined SC too and we became good friends.
When I joined SC, I had many things to deal with. My daughter in law had just died before Christmas by an accident. I was very sorry. My mother was ill with Alzheimer and I had, had rather a difficult time for some years.
My father had been ill too. Not of Alzheimer but other illnesses. I had been driving him to and from hospitals and he had even been discharged 8 days before he died. At that time I had mum always with us too
I had also had hard times with my elder son. It was like at that point in my life all things and not so good were happening at the same period. Period I say but this period took maybe 15 years.
At the end of that difficult period I joined SC and i had joined an Icelandic blog a year before. This helped me a lot but I very soon found out that it was not my style to talk much about those troubles. I and my life was so much more than that.
I had always had good things with the bad ones and my temperament is good. I am not what happened, I am what I made out of it and I came out of it well.
I deleted my first blogs. I had never talked about difficulties on the Icelandic blog because this is such a small society.
Well I can tell you that life is much better now and the last years of mums life were also good. That was when she was over the first stages of Alzheimer. In her advanced stages she was always happy and everyone loved her. She always held her dignity. I visited her to the last and my sick friend Systa too who died exactly 6 months before mum.
I should maybe add that I am an only child so there was no one else be me to take care of my parents when they were ill. And I did it with pleasure because they were good parents and good people
What I was really going to say. I made those wonderful friends. Quiet and Polar visited me and now Quiet is coming back in a few days. I am looking very much forward to that. The Internet can be very good. I would never have made those friends if it was not for the internet and blog. Now lets blog on on Yakkstr.
The people we were lucky to meet on SC have enhanced our lives. I know that you, Polar and Quiet share a special bond, and I am glad that three such different people connected. Have fun when Quiet comes to visit, and don't forget to take some pictures again!
