TO MY DEAR BLOGGING FRIENDS.
YOU ARE THE "JOY OF MY LIFE" AND YOUR COMMENTS YOU HAVE POSTED
FOR ME HAVE HEALED A PART OF MY HEART. IT WAS LIKE UNWRAPPING
BEAUTIFUL JEWELS, THAT SPARKLED. THESE COMMENTS AND CARDS MY
CHILDREN HAVE MADE US OVER THE YEARS WITH FAMILY MOVIES ARE
WHAT YOU WILL FIND IN OUR LOCKED FIREPROOF BOX. WITH AMY IN HEAVEN
THEY ARE MORE PRICELESS THAN EVER. MY PROBLEM IS THAT THEY ARE ALL
ON VCR TAPES. MY VCR IS BROKEN AND I WILL HAVE TO TRY AND REPLACE IT
BEFORE YOU CANNOT GET THEM ANY MORE.
I WAS SUPPOSE TO PARTICIPATE IN PINK SATURDAY AND I HAVE BEEN
SICK IN BED. OH, THE DRAMA OF IT ALL......LOL
MY APOLOGIES TO SWEET BEVERLY. I WAS EVEN READY FOR PINK
SATURDAY. SO I INCLUDED A FEW PINK THINGS AS A "I'M SORRY!"
I HAVE NOT BEEN VERY DEPENDABLE LATELY. I KNOW I HAVE
DISAPPOINTED A LOT OF PEOPLE.
MOTHER, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR TEACHING ME HOW TO GRIEVE. I RECEIVED THE
MOST BEAUTIFUL COMMENT FROM THE MOST PRECIOUS LADY WHO MOURNED THE
PASSING OF HER GRANDMOTHER AND DAD. SHE SAID SHE WENT ON TO
CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS BECAUSE HER GRANDMA TAUGHT HER HOW TO GRIEVE
BY EXAMPLE. MY BEAUTIFUL MOTHER DID THAT SAME THING. SHE TAUGHT
ME BY EXAMPLE. SHE WENT ON WITH CHRISTMAS JUST THE WAY SHE
HAS FOR MY 54 YEARS OF LIFE, FOR OUR BUTTERFLY AMY AND FOR
EVERYONE.
FOR MY SWEET FRIENDS WHO DO NOT KNOW, I HAVE STARTED A NEW BLOG.
YOU CAN GET TO IT FROM MY PROFILE PAGE OR THE URL.
IT IS CALLED "SIMPLY DEBBIE"
PLEASE STOP BY AND VISIT IT.
I WANTED TO SHARE THE WORDS TO A SONG ENYA SINGSTHE JOURNEY OF THE ANGELS
LYRICS BY~ROMA RYAN
SOMEWHERE
IN A WINTER NIGHT
THE ANGELS
BEGIN THEIR FLIGHT;
DARK SKIES
WITH MILES TO GO,
NO FOOTSTEPS
TO BE LOST IN SNOW
THEY FLY TO YOU
OH, NEW-BORN KING
THEY FLY TO YOU
OH, ANGELS SING
ONE IS SORROW
ONE IS PEACE
ONE WILL COME
TO GIVE YOU SLEEP
ONE IS COMFORT
ONE IS GRIEF
ONE WILL TAKE
THE TEARS YOU WEEP
NEW STAR
IN A MIDNIGHT SKY
IN HEAVEN
ALL THE ANGELS FLY
SOFT WINGS SO TRUE
AND ALL THINGS
THEY WILL GIVE TO YOU
SOME WHERE
IN A WINTER NIGHT
THE ANGELS
BEGIN THEIR FLIGHT
TONIGHT
ALL SING
OH, ANGELS
A NEW-BORN KING
TONIGHT
ALL SING
OH ANGELS
A NEW-BORN KING
I WISH ALL THE BLESSINGS GOD HAS FOR US IN 2010 TO FINDTHEIR WAY TO OUR DOORSTEP...THE SUNSHINE OF FRIENDS...HEALTH, SO
WE CAN VISIT THOSE WHO ARE ILL...PROSPERITY, SO WE CAN
HELP THOSE IN NEED...MUSIC, SO WE CAN CALM THOSE WHO
GRIEVE, AND A LONG BATH EACH NIGHT WHERE WE CAN BE
STILL AND HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD.
2010 SOUNDS SO FUTURISTIC....REMEMBER THE JETSON'S......
DO YOU THINK WHEN WE ARE DRIVING AROUND OUR SPACE CARS
THEY WILL HAVE ANY IN PINK...WHAT WOULD THE ROMANTIC
HOME LOOK LIKE THEN...WOULD SHABBY CHIC BE OUT....LOL
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL WINTER BOUQUET FROM FTD. I WISH I COULD
SEND EACH ONE OF YOU A REAL ONE BUT ((SIGH)) I CAN'T SO
PLEASE ACCEPT THIS ONE. YOU ARE ALL SO VERY SPECIAL.
I FORGOT TO PUT MY PENNIWIG ANGEL AS I ALWAYS DO
FOR " ANGEL HUGS" BUT SHE'LL FORGIVE ME AND KNOW I STILL LOVE HER
ANGEL HUGS
Hello Debbie , I have taken your vase of roses. Thankyou cottonreel
ReplyDeleteDear Debbie what a nice post. I know about your other blog, but wanted to tell you I took the beautiful bouquet you offered and you will see it on my sidebar. You are doing great.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALSO DEBBIE. YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BLOG, THANK YOU FOR VISITING MINE.
ReplyDeleteDebbie~ I hope you are feeling better! I used to wonder too about a future lifestyle like the Jetson's, but I think I like the wheels of my car touching the ground, LOL! We shall see though, they are inventing new fangled things all the time:) Hugs, Carmen
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful post. We do not get a roadmap about how to grieve such a terrible heartrending loss, and it is hard to find our way, especially in a society that seems kind of scared of grief. I am glad you are able to draw strength from your mother's way of continuing forward. It is all very bewildering and you deserve a hug and 100 of those Winter Bouquets for being so brave. As I learned in AA, one step at a time. When that's too much, one minute. Too much? One second at a time.
ReplyDeleteAMEN! Thank you for this beautiful post. Thank you for being a great blogging friend, too. I treasure the relationship GOD is forging in each of our hearts and lives through the blog world.

Hi Debbie, As always this is a beautiful post. Hope every day you found peace and strength to continue with your life. Thanks for the bouquet, you deserve it more than us, because you show us a lot of keeping faith in God. Hugs , Evelyn. I will follow in your new blog.
ReplyDeleteDebbie,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the flowers but the gift of your friendship and great strength would have been more than enough. Stay strong and know how many people love you and care.
