Sharon. I don't think we really know wha...Pain? Sharon. I don't think we really know what it is unless we lose our parents when we are kids or lose our kids or lose our life partners when we are so in love with them...So, no, I am not in pain because I don't even know what pain is! I'm just in shame because I doubt I know what friendship is<br /><br />Robin, I've not lost hope yet...I may come through for Alexandra at some point. Perhaps we all need our time.<br /><br />Ro, the song was too mellow...too Christianlike. Does the DJ have anything with more zing? The sentiment was nice though, so thank you!<br /><br />Hello Janna, thanks for your comment. You are right...I did get personal... more personal than I should have. It's amazing how personal we can be when we hide behind a purple cow. <br /><br />Take care everyone.<br />Wishing you all the best of health and long, long lives for you and your loved ones.Purple Cowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016727639028322093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284462997299066462.post-14398504168923703142010-06-10T19:31:22.300-07:002010-06-10T19:31:22.300-07:00Wow, Purple Cow. Wow. I hesitate to say anything, ...Wow, Purple Cow. Wow. I hesitate to say anything, because this seems most personal. But it's a beautiful and poetic letter. Thank you for sharing this here, so we could read your honesty.<br /><br />And that title "Death and the Maiden" rings a bell, but not because of the painting. I don't think I've seen it before. I wonder if it's a song, as well, that maybe I've sun in the past.<br /><br />Be well.Janna Leadbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06339705935553160673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284462997299066462.post-26438345861667210932010-06-10T16:57:41.950-07:002010-06-10T16:57:41.950-07:00Your post reminds me of a song I heard recently - ...Your post reminds me of a song I heard recently - you'll find the link at the end of my comment. It is not the greatest quality recording of the song, but has the lyrics so that helps.<br /><br />I wish for you ... comfort & freedom from guilt.<br /><br />I wish for your friend's children ... happiness, wholeness, and the knowledge that they are valuable and loved.<br /><br />I wish for your friend's husband to get past his own grief to see the needs of his children.<br /><br />I wish for all of us, what the lyrics of this song say:<br /><br />"I have this hope, I have this prayer,<br />And I am believing Your words are true,<br />You never leave us alone."<br /><br />Hope this song brings you some peace my friend.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYwzZsj6owk&feature=relatedRohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03631771953626754039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284462997299066462.post-87781504385135563292010-06-10T09:26:04.113-07:002010-06-10T09:26:04.113-07:00I don't know if you ever watched your video fr...I don't know if you ever watched your video from last week, but watch it again. BTW, you made me cry again. It's been awhile since you've done that. So, I didn't see it coming. You can't do anything about yesterday. You can do something about today and tomorrow and the next day. Why don't you invite her kids over to play with your sometimes? At least the younger ones. And make a point of singling out the older one to just let her know that she can talk to you if she wants to talk. Her choice. That kid likely feels very alone. The good news is that you don't have to have any of the answers, just a willing ear. I know that you will figure this out. I have faith in you.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284462997299066462.post-22167888464078555482010-06-10T08:35:33.939-07:002010-06-10T08:35:33.939-07:00My heart aches for you.

There is no way for me to understand your loss, but I feel my own when I read this and I wish you didn't have to know this pain.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852119592451618703noreply@blogger.com
