Comfort in the midst of pain, sadness and fear... embracing JOY and making it happen...

Awwwwwwwwwww ((((((((hugs)))))))) thank you so much for doing this Lynn, I could never repay your generous thought.. while sometimes the verbatim translation is a bit off with most translators it does capture most of what the poet is trying to convey.. The last slide says PEOPLE DO NOT MAKE FRIENDS, THEY RECOGNIZE THEM!... Thank you soooooooooooooo much for your kindness and support in our time of need,,,,

Life is so sad but so beautiful. Grief is worth the price of loving and our God is a merciful, healing, and wonderful God. He'll hold you thru it.

Thank you so much for your comforting words ... may God continue to bless you ALWAYS...

Prayers going up for you and your family. My heart and thoughts are with you. I cherish your presence here so much - you have brought me, joy, beauty, laughter, inspiration and a few tears - I love you as much as you can love someone you've never actually met - lol - keep doing you, mi hermana bonita.

See now mi hermana you have made me cry and I cannot afford to cry less I drown but these are happy tears that I have a lovely sista on here .. mi linda hermana Debbie and so many others ... those are joyous tears and I can always afford those ...((((((abrazos))))).. oh lawd I MUST try to get some sleep ... shades down.. lights out ... counting my ferrets and my puppies ... lets try this again....

I am so sorry for your loss. You are such a lovely and joy-filled lady. How kind of you to host a sweet 15 party for your young friend in the midst of your grief. Be blessed. (((hugs)))

Thank you so much RosyKate... I spent much of the afternoon sewing and finishing a gown for the young lady to get it out of the way so tomorrow I can dedicate all my time to dad's memorial.  I made the dress with remnants of a gown that I had made for myself a few years back and I kept it very simple...

My prayers are with you. Thank you for being such a great example of grace in the midst of grief. You truly are a beautiful person. Sending you a hug.

I am so sorry for your loss, especially so soon after the painful loss of your sister. I am praying for you - that God will give you peace, comfort, and strength as you go through this very sad time. Blessings to you, Martita.  hugs, Kim
