“How do I thank them all?” he pondered.
He had never experienced such an out pouring
of kindness, caring, love, prayers and warmth.
Dit.

“Something creative and funny?"
"Something straight forward and sincere?”
Why not just –
“Thank You.”

This 55 is written for all of you who took the time to visit my blog of Monday titled "Parade of Love". It was written in honor of my mother who passed away early that morning. My family and I truly thank each and every one of you for your kind thoughts and prayers. May you all be blessed.

A perfect follow-up to your parade. Hope you and your family are doing okay.
You're a great friend, Monkey Man! I'm so glad that so many people reached out to you in your time of sorrow. You're good people.

Your mom was very lucky to have you as her son and I know you made her very proud.

Flash 55 - Help?
I'm late to the parade, but offer my condolences too.
You're right about the support of bloggy friends. When my book came out I was overwhelmed by all the people who stepped forward to support me. I had no idea there would be so many.
OH Monkey Man I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. I didn't know. I send you all that Aloha and Sunshine I can. My thoughts are with you and your family my friend. Be strong. Your 55 was so good and just perfect. Take care of yourself :) We are all with you :)
Wow I thank You for making this so much easier for us.. hahaha Thank You Monkey Man

Aw, Monkey...you don't even need to say that. Just take care of you!
I am sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Condolences at this sad time.
I am sorry for your loss.
And I really appreciate this post. To want to say so much and then to realize the simple, universal "thank you" says it all.
God bless.
I love your 55. I also like the song Another postcard that was playing. I might have to listen to that again.
prayers,
peace and love for your dear Mom,
sad but touching 55.
take good care!

Ah, the updated version of Writer's Block, where you get a flashing dot instead of a blank piece of paper.
Loved this one!
{And remember to give my sympathies to your pollen challenged wife too!}
Your mom "raised you up well" (as my Aunt Dotty would have said). She would be proud of you.
Oh, and you're very welcome.
My 55 is up here.
surrounded you are--good feelings to you and yours--your mom is proud of you-c

Sunday 160 is done!
In wordpress.com,
now it is sunday!
loved the music in your blog...
take good care!
I was sorry to hear about your mother's passing. I hope you are doing ok. This was a lovely 55 ---and yes, "Thank you" is sufficient for all the kindnesses you have received at this sad time.
I've been out of the loop on the Flash 55 for a while. I took some time off when my mother died (age 95) a few months ago. Now I'm taking a class that is taking most of my time, so I haven't been keeping up with my three blogs as I would like. But thanks for stopping by to see my monkey art work.
You are a wonderfully creative human being and I am glad that you felt an outpouring of support during such a difficult time.
Your posts, Parade of Love and In Gratitude, were incredibly moving. You deserve this award.
Wise Words Award
I am still praying Monkey Man! I love how you write. And I LOVE your music! Blessings : )
