"It's a Spring Thing"
(sold)
Many of you know that I've been away from home since last April, helping out my mom and her husband of two years. She was diagnosed with Acute Mylogenous Leukemia, and then a week later, she suffered a major stroke....paralyzing her right side.
Adding into that mix, my husband had lost his job in March...we decided to put our house up for sale (real estate in the Detroit area...hahahaha)
My mom's husband suffered a mild stroke in the summer...
I had to put my 13 year old dog...my fuzzy companion, Ivan... to sleep in November....
The chemo quit working for my mom in November, she declined and passed away on the 31st of December...
Good riddance 2009......
So.... my sister and I are driving to the funeral home, and my cell phone rings. It was the gentleman that had purchased one of my two paintings in the "Think Small 09" show at Lawrence Street Gallery. He had decided that he wanted the other painting in the show too.
I've decided that this is a sure sign that things will be looking up for me and mine!
I'm looking forward to an art and fun filled 2010!
