It is so hard when someo...We can never understand. It is so hard when someone is there with us one day and gone the next. We never stop expecting them to walk thru the door. We never stop dreaming about them. We never stop loving them. And neither does Christ. We don't understand, but He does. We are not here to live for this world, but to live in His world. One of my two favorite pastors has a blog that I read often. He wrote the below. It was like he was talking to me, after I lost my father. It is like he is talking to you now. Read the whole thing at:<br />www.reclaimingthemind.org. This blog is at:<br /><br />http://www.reclaimingthemind.org/blog/2011/02/questions-i-hope-no-one-will-ask-will-god-protect-my-children/<br /><br /><br />We don’t come to Christ because of guarantees of health, wealth, or protection from physical danger. We come to him because he is Lord. We don’t become Christians because of fringe benefits, we become Christians because Christianity is true. We come to Christ and bow our knee knowing he loves us enough to die for us. We come to him knowing that his plan, whatever that may be, is full of love, purpose, and wisdom. We come to him because of the guarantees of the life to come, not the guarantees of this life.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11474671886376478360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692155185726654066.post-11551928068926891072011-02-10T14:02:49.374-08:002011-02-10T14:02:49.374-08:00Haven't talked to you in years- but wanted you...Haven't talked to you in years- but wanted you to know how touched I am by your courage and grace in the face of suffering and uncertainty. The impact we have on others is what matters at the end of the day. Your impact is far-reaching, Kim.

I know writing for me is like taking some relaxing medicine. It is so hard to see Kim gone. I, like you cried for a long time. I remember, the days of the chemo when I was always there with you, and walked around the room and talked to Kim and Meme and others. I remember how she showed you how to tie the scarve the way she was wearing it. She had such a good attitude about everything. When you talked to her, the way I did, you never felt that she was fighting for her life. I know Heather through you; however she was always so kind to me. She was practically the only one that always give me a "like" thumb on my face book page for everything I did. Dear Child life is so difficult as it is. Giving advice is just so vain at this point. But as I said in my email, just pray The good Lord. You're okay now. No one knows what is for them at any given moment. Anything can happen to anyone at any time! Remember that. Think about all the people that love you sincerely, your beautiful girls, your hardworking and dedicated husband who loves you even more now than the first day of your marriage... and then think about all of us, your family. We all love you. Don't stress yourself. Take care of your body, mind, and soul, my beautiful child...Ellie K.

The last 7-8 months have been difficult: Kathy, June 2010, kidney cancer; Richard, Aug 2010, lung cancer; and now my grandfather. Even though he was 91 and had not been able to live at home for about a year, it is the most difficult loss of my life. I get angry that somebody came into that facility while they were sick and got all the residents sick. At the same time, I'm glad he doesn't have to suffer any more. Sometimes I feel guilty for missing him so much, like I'm being selfish. <br />but what I really am trying to get to is I've also watch how those of us around these people have compromised our own health in the process of caring for them. My grandmother hardly ate anything the whole time grandpa was in the hospital. My mom has blood tests that are worse than they've ever been, probably due to the stress of 2 weeks of being at her dad's bedside. Some of us are functioning on pure adrenaline because we have developed sleep issues with these disruptions of "normal". My friend who lost her husband in August has had severely decreased immunity since then and missed much work. <br />I pray for us all. Those who are battling horrible terminal illnesses and those who have been along their sides sometimes to the point of neglecting our own health. I pray that all of us stay mindful to take care of ourselves so we can continue to be there for each other as God directs.Unpublished Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07676414429014810701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692155185726654066.post-27288370235897717472011-02-09T22:02:42.434-08:002011-02-09T22:02:42.434-08:00Prayers and love to you Penny!
