You have not lost sight of the light.<br /><br />I wish you strength to carry on in that direction.<br /><br />Hugs from me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-87137691216503584992011-05-15T06:49:39.493-07:002011-05-15T06:49:39.493-07:00This, and the previous post, were absolutely beaut...This, and the previous post, were absolutely beautiful, and heartbreaking.

That I feel, is our final gift. To respect the final personal decision to put the full stop of the story of a life. Our bravery lies in knowing we have no choice but to accept the tidal wave of emotions that follow, the big sea of sorrow. The best we can hope for is calm days and clear skies.<br />Decades ago I saw my mother-in-law trying to steer through this choppy and unpredictable territory, along with my husband and his siblings. I cannot begin to comprehend the loss of our daughter in this heart-shattering way. You got to hold her close. She will always love you. Always. And I can't stop my tears from falling for your gentle heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-74072156156138667362011-05-14T10:29:42.248-07:002011-05-14T10:29:42.248-07:00Just checking in to see what you were up to.

I can't imagine the roller coaster of emotions, but your writing gave me a glimpse. <br /><br />I just spent Mother's Day with my daughter and two granddaughters. Just an ordinary day, swimming at the pool, a trip to Costco, washing the car and a BBQ for dinner, but I am grateful and blessed for the experience of being a mother and grandmother.<br /><br />Happy Mother's Day,Deb. I know you too are blessed for the experience.#1Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214011945298439939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-56199914704622638812011-05-08T18:17:07.228-07:002011-05-08T18:17:07.228-07:00Perfectly told, beautifully written, and breathtak...Perfectly told, beautifully written, and breathtaking.
