(Leaving You) On The Hook

Posted on: February 14, 2024 | Posted by: Kathie Neff

Roses Candy Valentines Day

Do you ever have such a busy week that you forget what day it is?

This is me.

This week.

Forgetting what day it is (Blog Day) and scrambling to say something meaningful about a concept that is a treasure in my life and one of my highest values:

 

Community

 

But guess what!?!?

I’m going to leave you hanging on the hook until next week.

 

WHAT did she just say???

She said we’re on the hook, dude. We’ll just have to wait.

No Way! This is freaking Valentine’s Day!

Soaring Spirits 15th Anniversary flutes

Okay.

On the hook “with” apologies.

AND an excuse.

Tonight I am hosting ten (or so) Widowed People in my home for a Widowed Valentine’s Day celebration.

We will raise a toast to US! A toast with the Widow Cliquot’s champagne using Soaring Spirits’ 15th Anniversary flutes.

A celebration complete with chocolate and red roses — for US!

 

. . . and, in this moment, I am STILL vacuuming!!!

 

Our time together will be fully available for you here . . .

. . . next week.

 

Forgive me dear reader.

AND know that a lot of love is going into this dinner tonight and I’m happy to invite you in . . .

 

. . . next week.

 

See you then.

xoxo

 

P.S.

Toast yourself and your fellow widowed folk today. You certainly deserve it.

 

Long Live Love!

About Kathie Neff

Kathie Neff was widowed on April 15, 2021. She and her beloved husband, Dan, were high school sweethearts and enjoyed dancing and riding horses together. They lived in gratitude, hope and forgiveness for 50 years and nine months when Dan passed quietly late at night, surrounded by their seven children who, with Kathie, were caring for him in their family home.

Dan and Kathie have been a part of Camp Widow and Soaring Spirits International since its inception, as members of Michele Neff Hernandez’s cadre of helpers from the Neff family.

Kathie believes strongly in the strength and bond that is the gift of community and brings a heart of love for all who have been affected by death and dying.

Long live love. XO
