Thank you for a wonderful tear
I just stopped and had a tear, the wonderful tear of purpose that grounded me once again. It’s well after 11pm, house is all asleep, and I’m still working at my computer to finish a day that wasn’t as work productive as I had hoped…this came along, perhaps the reason I was still awake.
I share with you the extreme and strange overpowering greatness of knowing that bad things can happen to cause good. So, I take a message from a very dear friend, a comment to me in response to content here…to share with all of you.
Thank you my darling, you know how much I love you. How much we ALL love you! Everyone that appreciates the real you, loves you and you are a gem in our crown of friends. I love you doesn’t say it all. I’m once again speechless.
So here I share what she writes to me, and I give this message to you all….
“I’ll never understand why you got it or why anyone I’ve cared about has ever had to hear the word cancer. Since your diagnosis, you showed us there is another approach to coping. Age does not make us invincible. Many of us are now making it a point to stop and smell the roses. Your journey reminds us every day of life is a precious gift. I don’t reply to your posts as frequently but read them daily. You continue to be the example of grace. Life hands us all some frightening unknowns without warning or reason; illness of our own or that of a loved one, financial or emotional burdens, there seems to be no shortage of what we face. Some of your posts really grab me. None of us will know why it happened, it breaks my heart that it did, but I can see what an impact you have made on so many since then. You hope, courage and rose colored glasses helps us all keep things in perspective. There is much to be gained from your entry of “Living Life”. Thank you for that. Tonight this post goes in my gratitude journal.
