Sad and Grieving
Sweetie,
Words cant begin to express how sorry I am for your loss. I can't imagine losing a parent..much less a spouse. I know your heart is just broken, and that you're trying to maintain for your kids. Know that we're always here for you and I"m just a hop skip and jump away in Grant Park..if you ever need to talk please feel free to e me and we can get together.
May God see you gently through this trying time!
Love,
Kathy

The Ship
I am standing on the shore as a great ship gently glides from the harbor
and sails toward the horizon.
This ship is beautiful -- strong.
Sails billowing and shining bright as sunlight sparkling on distan****ers.
The ship grows smaller and smaller until, at last, the white sails shine as
ribbons out where the sky and water mingle as one.
And as I watch, a voice behind me says, "Well, he's gone."
He's gone.
Gone?
"No," I tell myself.
No, he is not really gone.
Not really.
He is gone only in the sense that I can no longer see him.
In reality, he is the same as ever; just as strong; just as shining -- just as strong.
And deep in my heart I know, that on another shore someone is crying out, "Look! Look everyone! Here he comes!"
