It's been crazy Brock, I just pray that it's over. Thank you very much!!!

prayers for strength.. but this too will pass.. the pain will recede and leave behind the memories..

I just hope it passes soon. I'm sick to "death" of funerals... And I would love to have them all here with us again. If even just to say I Love YOU!!!

Gosh, it's horrible to have a week like that. I guess it happens to us all from time to time - clusters of deaths that leave us wondering. Lately I've been hearing about a lot of births which is really cheering. One of them, the newborn son of a dear younger friend in church, has Down's Syndrome, which is sad and yet, knowing the family he is born into, rather special. It isn't what she would have wanted, but she will accept him as the gift God gave her. What on earth would we do without our faith? Makes me wonder if I shouldn't talk about it more and yet I don't like pushing people when they don't want to know. But, like you, I would flounder if I didn't know God was there for me. Hope this ends it all for you and the future holds a lot of good things. 15 years is a good innings for a cat. Bless you, E x

Oh, I love to hear about the babies too. I also have a downs baby in my church. What a blessing she is. I love when it is my turn to work in the nursery and spend a few hours with her. I believe God gives us this little blessings, to let us know what love truley means. Because, downs babys and children really do love you with all of their heart. I will miss my little kitty, but some how (in my warped mind lol), I think that maybe Erika is watching after her for me. Just gives me comfort. Have a great day Elane. God Bless you too!

Hang in there Bejeweled....My nehphew has downs and I believe that they are angels on earth.

Hey MrsFitz, good to see you. Where have you been hiding. And yes, I too think of them as little angels. What a wonderful gift from God.

Haven't been getting on here much. But it's good to see everyone is still around. Sorry to hear about all the passings, but I believe that we'll all be together again. They are just in a place with no worries, no sickness, no hate.....
A coworker of mine has breast cancer and she told me something that I won't forget, she said "I hear people say that they can't wait for Friday and I look at them like they are crazy, because so many people in this world want to rush through life. Instead they should be wishing that a day would feel long and fulfilled."

She's a smart lady, and I'm glad your back!!!!
