His love for you and yours for him will live on forever. I'm sorry I've not been here. I thought I was subscribed to your blog but find I wasn't and have missed your other posts. I thought you were not posting and just came here to leave a note and found my mistake. I do hope that you and Elizabeth keep well and wish God blessings on you both every day.Bobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16568090556772960446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676895059097144513.post-47449514828721326762008-02-22T08:38:00.000-08:002008-02-22T08:38:00.000-08:00Kathy my e-mail is: indigosea7913@yahoo.comKathy my e-mail is: indigosea7913@yahoo.com~Red Tin Heart~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06671156484674719228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676895059097144513.post-36312138915185715852008-02-21T22:06:00.000-08:002008-02-21T22:06:00.000-08:00Hi Nita:I've been ill & in bed so I haven't had th...Hi Nita:<BR/><BR/>I've been ill & in bed so I haven't had the chance to catch up with you 'til now.<BR/><BR/>I am so sorry that Elizabeth is having such a hard time of it. I lost my Daddy very suddenly when I was only 15 and was devastated so I can understand her pain. The father/daughter bond is very special.<BR/><BR/>I haven't had the chance to read back through your latest posts but it sounds like your faith is carrying you. I think it's true about what you said re: grieving privately at times. My Mom, bless her heart, was only 44 when daddy died and had 6 youngsters still at home. I look back now in total awe at her ability to carry on despite her heartbreak. I am sure she shed many a tear while we were all at school. She is now 84 years old and still has remarkable spirit. It's hard to fathom that Daddy will be dead 40 years in May! I still miss him. He was such an awesome family man.<BR/><BR/>Actually Nita, I came to your blog tonight to look for your e-mail as I need your address but, for the life of me, I cannot find it. I suppose it's right under my nose!<BR/><BR/>Could you please post it so cyber-dummies like me can e-mail you?<BR/><BR/>Please know that you & your family have been in my thoughts & prayers.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>Kathy<BR/>xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676895059097144513.post-90579677439041233262008-02-21T20:16:00.000-08:002008-02-21T20:16:00.000-08:00Nita, I do hope you continue to try to find good o...Nita, I do hope you continue to try to find good out of everyday and that your "bright spots" increase. This will be a journey that takes time, but just know that you have many people who care and are willing to lend a blog-shoulder when ever you need. I am honored that I might get to be a bright spot in one of your days coming up with a gift from our Pay-It-Forward game, but I do need you to drop me an email dear with your address so that I can get it on its way soon.<BR/><BR/>I hope tomorrow is a little better...and the day after that even more so...<BR/>God bless you~<BR/>JoniJoni https://www.blogger.com/profile/01471677167011145245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676895059097144513.post-22670810374469269752008-02-21T19:39:00.000-08:002008-02-21T19:39:00.000-08:00Dear Nita,Hi.

I've sniffed bottles of Brut many times, just to close my eyes and be nearer. It is in the littlest things that we find our comforts. Hold tight dear friend.

Your memories, though they hurt now, will comfort you in the future and you'll be grateful for so many of them later.<BR/><BR/>I sent a small package to Elizabeth today - hopefully it will get to her by the end of this week.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments the other day about my daughter. Being teased is really tough - I was teased alot in school too. Fortunately, for Adelaide, this isn't the case - the teacher told me that she is quite popular despite the fact that she's so quiet (the kids like the fact that she is so easygoing). But, the teasing thing is definitely something to look out for in the future.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06954634642086370523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676895059097144513.post-38135181157292790862008-02-20T10:46:00.000-08:002008-02-20T10:46:00.000-08:00Your memories are fresh and I know they pierce you...Your memories are fresh and I know they pierce your heart.

When you love someone with all your heart, you notice the little things about them that make them so special to you. I am praying for you during this hardest time and asking God to carry your heart that is so weighted with sorrow. However you grieve is the right thing for you dear friend. Many times I wear my husbands cologne so I can smell him all day long. Memories are wonderful even if they hurt so much right now. It won't always be this way, but for now, God is leading you through the valley. I love you and pray your HOPE grows in Him.<BR/><BR/>Love, Laurie in Ca.Laurie in Ca.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15599832324966859946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676895059097144513.post-46453616494301149712008-02-20T05:59:00.000-08:002008-02-20T05:59:00.000-08:00Sending you and the children lots of love, great b...Sending you and the children lots of love, great big hugs...sunshiny smiles, and understanding.
