Heartbreak

Need I say more? ;)

Family's Heartbreak

I had a unique opportunity to visit my Little Sister's grave today. It was the first time in at least 3 or 4 years so I thought it would fit with the "heartbreak" theme. I took a bunch of pictures but I have to be honest, I just wasn't feeling the heartbreak. I've finally started to feel more peace and comfort in place of the heartbreak so I just couldn't use her story for this particular post. So, I kept searching for something, then as we were leaving I spotted this headstone. The family picture in the center caught my eye so I looked closer. Such a young family to have lost thier father. I don't know anything about them or what happened, but my heart broke a little bit looking at thier picture.

CC PLEASE- I really struggled with how to crop this one.

P.S. I'm in UTAH! And I'm headed to Idaho on Wednesday. Anybody around who might want to meet up, any photo-ops I can follow you around for. I would love to learn from some of you MASTERS!

No.

Heartbreaks come fast and frequent when you're a kid.

Heartbreak: Dead Flowers

Last year, my Gerbera daisies continued to bloom all Summer long. This year -- not so much. The dead flowers are more metaphorical when it comes to heartbreak, though.

Long ago Heartache

When I read this challenge I was stumped. I then thought of going to a cemetery. Everyone who has a grave, has people who are broken hearted still left behind.
I saw this grave and my heart just broke. It broke for the parents who must have died inside after their two sweet children died, just five days apart from each other. It broke for the dear little children who obviously must have suffered before the end came.

It makes me think that just 6 months ago, my children were almost these exact ages. I know that I would be a broken woman if they were taken from me at such a tender age.

In case you can't read it, this is what the tombstone reads:
William Badley
Died Dec. 3, 1844
Aged 5yrs. 7ds.

Amelia Isabella
Died Dec. 8, 1844
Aged 2 yr. 4mo. & 6ds.

Son and daughter of Alexander and Jane Arrison

Sleep, brother, sister, side by side,
No chance, no change can you divide;
Together in the dust you lie.
Together tread the courts on high.
If once the eye of faith could see
Your full, complete felicity.
How would our sad repinings cease.
And all our sighs be hushed in peace.

A House of Heartbreak

 

Heartbreak is... once having a home where a family resided, that is now abandoned due to it's abuse as a meth lab. Sadly drugs are everywhere...even in my small town.
