Once again God has brought me to a better place...
Its a slippery slope... I may slide back... but I have renewed energy to try again and I will, because I'm coming back to life... I want to live... Yesterday I was thinking what a beautiful day it was... and I thought to myself... I'm coming back to life... and then... I felt a momentary twinge of guilt... and then... I gave myself a shake... and I talked to Cara and she to me... and she wants and expects me to return to life... She knows that my love isn't lessened at all... She knows that is why she's not sad... She knows that for this time she is here with me... and she knows that we're going to be together when its time... and she continues to love us and we continue to love her... It is good....
I wrote this to a friend who lost her mother this past year... this will be her first Mother's Day since her mother passed... I will not say since she lost her mother... she knows where her mother is... nor since her mother went away... she's not gone... as much as she passed from this life... her spirit returns at will to continue loving her children and all children...
Can you make plans to lunch with some church friends who might be facing the same situation Sunday... and light a candle at 12noon... We have agreed to light one every 2nd Sunday of the month for our children... So you light one for your mom's children... She loves you and worries about you and she wants you to do this... I really believe this Betty... so will you please... just think all over the world... we're keeping love alive... I will light it at 12 noon CST... 2 hours later PST you will light a candle... and it didn't start with you and I... they will be lighting candles all across the globe... and the light will go from the east to the west... flare into brightness across the globe... and then when we go to bed Sunday night we'll put out the candle and the time will vary there too because when its 10 or 11pm here... its 8 or 9pm there... so the ligts will slowly be put out... the love won't die... we'll rest and maybe we'll dream of our loved ones... So Sunday I light my candle... not only for my daughter... but also for all my loved ones... for all of you... for all the world... its a good thing... Love To You And Yours

Elissa, I will light my candle too!! I have it ready. I saw you joined the yahoo group started by Rea. Welcome, I am there too!!! And Charlayne and Karen (hinds7). Lots of love, Jake\'s mom, Kathy
Elissa, I will light a candle as well and together we will make this and hold hands on this difficult road. Blessed Be, Rea mom of Emile
I started out to write to you Kathy... but I just had to write to Jake first because I did get such a strong sense of his presence... I did write for you though... I wanted you to feel it... to laugh out loud... yes we cry because oh yes we want to see them... to hold them... to fix them... and I think that\'s fine and just what we need and should do at times... And... I think we can enjoy remembering when we were young and so bored with school and rules and we can laugh... Whenever I fold clothes... I picture Cara in the chair... she\'s got her legs crossed... swinging the top leg a bit... all ready for a gab session... and she\'s smiling her ass off... because she hated folding clothes... and I can\'t make her help me... and she\'s tickled... that\'s what that little smile lurking in her eyes is about... and I\'m so happy to have her here... I don\'t even mind folding the clothes all by myself... Hang on Kathy... we\'re climbing the slope... We aren\'t ever going to not have that hurting... but we\'re finding joy to go with it... Its good... Hugs and so much Love to You and Yours Elissa
You need to LIVE again Elissa! Go stand out in the bright warm sun and just feel the it\'s radiance upon you... be glad that every day is a new day that God has given you!
The life is there and our kids want us to feel it again-they also know that it is so hard for us, so they are patient too-just like we were patient with them-they are giving us the pep talks now and protecting us.
