Crazy actions are fun sometime, and laughter is always a healer. I am sure those fierce waves do roll in often, and catch you off guard. I am sure the pain is great when it does.

To hear you say that you all are smiling and laughing again warmed my heart more than you will ever know! I know that there is still an incomprehensible amount of grief and sorrow amidst those smiles and chuckles, but it is a start my dear :) Speaking from my own experience, I know you will never fully overcome loosing your precious little boy; but I also know that more than anything he would want you and the rest of the family to be happy :) I'm sure your words made him smile today!

My daughter is weeks away from graduation, then off to college four hours from here. My sons have moved on- one all the way to California. I cry a lot.<br /><br />I have this overwhelming feeling that I didn't do the best job I could have with them etc. It's ridiculous and I know Satan is the weaver of the tales that are spinning in my head these past few weeks.<br /><br />Pray for me to keep thanking God in all things and trusting Him for every detail of my life- as I see you do here every time I read.<br /><br />We once had a fierce mamma bird, she dove at me every time I left the house by way of our front door. The nest was in a tall bush there. I was so scared of her.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00826459451502506768noreply@blogger.com
