I am looking for comfort in this time of great sorrow.

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart,
and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for what has been your delight.

  3. Sometimes we need to have a good cry. We are humans with many emotions to be expressed. Some days are crappy, cry if you need to. It feels better to let it out. There will be good days ahead. Really.
    Love,

  10. I love the quote...it is so perfect.
    Hang in there Marie; you have the rest of us, for what it's worth.
    It's not the same, but after losing both my parents 17 days apart, I learned the value of good friends.....and you're one of them! ♥♥♥♥♥

    XXOO!!

  11. The loss of a friend or even closer family member IS a deep thing to come to terms with, i know from fairly recent experience on 2 counts.

    Keeping fond memories, hopes & dreams close in your mind is little comfort but it IS comfort knowing they will always live on in you.

    I know my saying so can not change anything but you have my heart felt sympathy on the loss you have felt. Be strong or the loss has no meaning in the end my friend.

  15. Oh I have been having those Tina. This is just a topper.
    Shas is also going blind in one eye and my insurance called and said they are raising my montlies to 1800$ from 1300$.
    That is 21,600$ a year, now how am I supposed to do that?
    It has been a very long month.

  24. Oh Marie, feel my arms around you. I know it's not much...here's a song for you, Dave Crowder Band:

    Lord I'm tired
    So tired from walking
    And Lord I'm so alone
    And Lord the dark
    Is creeping in
    Creeping up
    To swallow me
    I think I'll stop
    Rest here a while

    And didn't You see me cry'n?
    And didn't You hear me call Your name?
    Wasn't it You I gave my heart to?
    I wish You'd remember
    Where you sat it down


    And this is all that I can say right now
    i know it's not much
    And this is all that I can give
    yeah that's my everything


    I didn't notice You were standing here
    I didn't know that
    That was You holding me
    I didn't notice You were cry'n too
    I didn't know that
    That was You washing my feet.

    All my love to you, Deb

  25. Oh, just a series of unfortunate events, Bridgett. With no pause for a breath. This month is too much. Just too much.
    I get knocked down when I get up so I am just staying down.
    Then I do not have so far to fall.

  26. Thank you Pam and thank you for coming back.
    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh I needed that!

  27. Isn't that quote wonderful?? It seemed to say it all for me.

    I am so sorry for the loss of your parents Anne and so close too. That must have been horrid. It sounds like they just couldn't live without each other. Losing a parent is awful but two????
    This month over all has just been a huge challenge and I am not handling it with much grace at all.
    I know this is just life, but I am not feeling very strong right now.
    Thank you so much for being a sister friend, I am so grateful for you.
    Blessings on you.

  50. You are not late Darla, you are right on time.
    Thank you so much for coming over.
    Your words touched my heart. You see, I see you as beautiful and want you to see that.
    Renee told me this once
    "I was taught the complete opposite; for us it is what is inside that matters, outside is genetics, but what do you the person bring to your life."
    She is so wise.
    Love and hugs.

  51. We are blessed aren't we Bella?
    Some days it just seems a little backwards is all. I feel so grateful to have had the time and nights of pure silliness with all of you before you came back here.
    I would love to do that again. I had so much fun. I appreciate you all accepting me in.
    I had a hell of a time trying to keep up with all of the craziness and loved every minute of it.
    I love you too Bella.
