Green Smiley Monday
Hi everyone,
Yesterday was Iysabella's first birthday party, (her birthday is 2/9). Hard to believe a year has passed. I will try & post a pic tonight after work. She had a lot of love around her. Even my ex husband came to the party and Ed has brought a lot of healing to this family. How can I hold grudges now for past hurts? I cannot. I have learned, thanks to my son, that it is my job to love, not to judge. Thank you, Eddie.
Iysabella's mom, my granddaughter Christina, was so nervous since this was the first party she has ever planned. But she did a good job. It was a very nice party.
I wish Eddie was here to see his family grow. His son Josh has his 2 month old daughter Natalie now and Christina is expecting another girl.
I miss you, Ed. And I love you forever and always. Love, Mom xoxo
Thank you, God for the blessing of family and healing. Please tell Ed I love him. In Jesus name. Amen
Love, peace and healing to all...

I\'m sure that little bundle of JOY was surrounded in love. Congratulations on another little healer too coming into your family. Oh, how I understand how much you long for and wish that Ed could be present with you in his earth suit rather than his heavenly one. Yet, don\'t you often wonder how they must be thinking that we don\'t have a clue as to the eternal paradise they are lovingly surrounded in.
Happy to hear of the celebrating and I\'m sure Christina did a beautiful job!
Hoping your week is a gentle one dear Linda and sending my love to all of you.

Love that you had such a great time with your family. It will always come to mind even at joyful times that we are missing someone. I know what you mean about learning from our loss and loving more as this world gives us so much hurt it is not my job to add more. Much love and peace to you. lynette
Linda I know just what you mean when you say \"How can I hold grudges now for past hurts\", I feel the same toward my daughter-in-law Sonija. She without doubt has been the catalyst for a lot of hurt in our family, but the love we have for our granddaughter is the balm on the burns and we are healing from past hurts. Your family sounds like a very healing loving family, what a wonderful blessing. Ed I\'m sure is so proud. Terry
What a wonderful green smiley! it is hard not to hold grudges - I struggle with that too. We just want our kids back so badly!
There is so much to absorb and deal with in this new reality.
Have a great week!
Love and hugs, Marlene
I can\'t believe it\'s been a year. How wonderful to have everyone together and to not have any judgement...just love for what\'s important...family. I look forward to seeing pics of that precious baby. Love to you. Robin
A whole year already,,wow,,how time flies...my little one is due soon,,I hope she can bring me the happiness you have..
Linda, there is peace and healing in life. I give thanks too for the way it is built right in, especially with little babies in our lives. I don\'t have the wee bairns (yet?) but I am sure glad you do.

I can\'t believe Iysabella is one already! And another precious little girl on her way and both of them will have a cousin to play with! Wow! Three precious little girls! I\'m getting to a point in my journey, too, where I\'m beginning to recognize the healing and love we can find even in such devastating losses as ours.
Blessings abound and my heart rejoices for you and your precious growing family! Cannot, cannot believe you\'re talking about GREAT grandchildren!
Sending much love and big hugs to you and Ed ~ Debbie
LInda, your arms will be brimming over full, with sweet cherub children--lucky you!
So glad that little BeepBeep\'s party was fun and \"non-eventful\"--you\'re right about not holding grudges--it only hurts US and who needs that! Love can help to transform negativity--not more negativity!

Linda,
You sound so peaceful and I am so happy for you and your family. I believe Ed is bringing healing to the family too. I love you, my friend. I have been in a rutt, but am digging myself out (turtle picture says it all I think.) lol
May God love and bless you,
Leda
There is something about those precious children...they warm the heart and even heal. I understand about wishing our boys were here to see it all..love to you sweet friend...Karen
Awww, Linda she shares my mother\'s birthday - how sweet is that? Children are a natural balm for our soul - they are so pure and non-judging - how can we not learn a lesson or two? So Happy to hear of new arrivals. You will be busy! Take Care and Take Love, Suzzanne
Happy Belated to Iysabella!!! Soooo much love i send to You and your beautiful growing family, Linda. I wish Ed were here too. All the while i send him a wink and a smile for the healing he is doing in the way only Your Son can create. I feel incredibly grateful for the gift of knowing what it is like to see and feel a shimmer of the light in YOUR eyes which illuminates so much love and guidance to Iysabella & all your family. YOU are amazing grace Linda, with your sonshine glowing extra bright when all his loves gather together. XOXOXOXOX De
