  10. We go through a dark night, the night of faith. The mystics say, the dark night ist very hard to bear. It is the night before the soul will be connected with God, her Lover. The dark night is the only way to find HIM. We have to forget all, what we know and then God will fill it up with HIMSELF.

    I am so sorry about Dave.

    (I do apologize for missing this earlier. Gotta mini-drama going on here but you are present in my thoughts not matter what's happening in our lives.)

  14. Loneliness and loss, memories of what was, and what isn't, are very painful.
    My enormous empathy.
    Sending hugs and gentle thoughts.

  16. Hi Sandra,

    May your Anniversary be blessed with Beautiful Memories of you and Dave's life together ..

    The older I grow the more I realize that life is not so long even if lived into old age.

    We must grasp every moment and find joy in the life that God has given us. Although that's not always easy.

    Have a Beautiful and Blessed week
    With much Love
    Sara

  23. Rainey, thank you.

    Mary, glad to see you've got this comment thing figured out -smile!

    Mildred, thank you.

    Donna, thank you so much. Just when it seems things are better, along comes a date that reminds me of the loss.

    Nancy, thank you but I'm afraid the anniversaries are ended when Dave died in 11/11.

    Lynn, when it seems to get better, another date comes along and wham! Maybe not back to square one but back, nonetheless.

    Martina, it was indeed!

    Debby, it seems Jack Lewis has the best quotes for all of life's adventures.

    Donna, thank you

    Grace, thank you

    Dori, thank you and you're right...God will fill the emptiness with HIMSELF. when we get to heaven, it will be all about Jesus and God; having Dave there comforts me now but heaven is all about the Father and Son.

    thanks, Annie, I need them all.

    Sara, you're so right, life isn't long and, when lived well, is too short indeed!

    Lynn, memories and photos are SO important; in the end, that's all we have.

    Yvonne, thank you...like I told Lynne, memories and photos are all that's left.

    You're so right...a life well lived!

    Glenda, thank you...

    it's a daily thing and, some days, more daily than others.

    Deborah, thank you and, like I've written above, memories and photos are all that's left but when it's a life well lived, hopefully, it's enough.

    Never apologize to me, Pam; life is like a tornado sometimes and all we can do is hang on and pray. I keep thinking it's going to get easier and then a "date" comes along and I'm slain, all over again.
