I wish things were easier for you but you are right. It is better to have this grief than to have never known him and shared your life with him.<BR/><BR/>HugsLynnbughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10615998715874197167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694962915730683342.post-57112897966075883792008-09-09T15:31:00.000-04:002008-09-09T15:31:00.000-04:00Oh, Betsy.

I'm so sorry this is still so very hard and painful for you. <BR/><BR/>The poem was beautiful and I'm grateful those butterflies come to visit you just when you need them. For me, it's the little tree frogs that visit my front porch. <BR/><BR/>Big fat HUGS and tons of prayers for you.Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317328366288947798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694962915730683342.post-88955458536708503312008-09-09T13:36:00.000-04:002008-09-09T13:36:00.000-04:00Betsy,It's hard to ever understand our purpose in ...Betsy,<BR/><BR/>It's hard to ever understand our purpose in life -- but your purpose with Jim physically here, is not the same as your present and future purpose.<BR/><BR/>I marvel at your grief journey, and am hopefully learning from it. Although it is nothing compared to your loss, I have had to re-orient my purpose in life both when I divorced years ago, and more recently when my children moved out of my home - I like someone's thought for that time as "open nesting" rather than empty nester.<BR/><BR/>My daughter and grandson just moved from this area - but still within the state. No more seeing them on a weekly basis. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I continue to pray that the Lord will show you a step at a time, His love, mercy and grace in your life.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08874861873261853672noreply@blogger.com
