Green Smiley Monday

Today I am thankful for good friends. My DS friends are lifesavers. I can share whatever feelings I have, cry or feel blessed and express anything & I am always validated. No one here tells me to "get over it!" And in my everyday life I have a friend Elly ( Annie the Border Collie's mom) who knows that Ed's angel date is in September, 9/4 & that his birthday is 9/22 and she tries to keep me busy this month and will even talk about my son.

I am grateful...

Love and peace, Linda

Yes. you are blessed, and especially this week.............you are able to be so grateful for your blessings, even among the pain of loss, and the sweet memories of your boy, Ed. I\'ll be thinking especially of you this week, and am sending lots of hugs and prayers for peaceful days and nights.
love, Margery Ann

There is nothing like the friendship that is here daily and I\'m so glad that you have a \"friend in the flesh\" who is there for you, Linda. I\'m thinking of you a lot as you approach Ed\'s birthday. To hear Ed\'s name and to have your friend speak of him is music to your soul, I know. Gentle care and so much love dearest Linda always.
