A Pair of Shoes
"A Pair of Shoes"
I am wearing a pair of shoes.
They are ugly shoes.
Uncomfortable shoes.
I hate my shoes.
Each day I wear them, and each day I wish I had another pair.
Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another
step.
Yet, I continue to wear them.
I get funny looks wearing these shoes.
They are looks of sympathy.
I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and
not theirs.

I get closer to her and she looks so peaceful so still so beautiful but yet so lifeless! My kids including myself sleep with our eyes open..on this occassion hers are tighly shut..I stand beside her picking the grass out of her HAIR, and telling her how much I love her! She had braids in her hair I took them down and combed her hair ever so gently! Put a Tiara in her hair,…

anne posted a blog postI saw God today!
I have been befuddled over the passing of the 10 year old boy that was hit by a car last week. My grandchildren were in my care all last week so there wasn't much time for deep thought. Npw that I am alone now I'm having lots of thoughts about it, so I went to the farm for a little distraction, plus the grass out there really needed cutting. I brought my dog Zero with me. Zero's getting old and I want him to have a good summer. Anyway Zero and I took a trip to the farm. I buzzed around cutting…See More

Losing Someone to Cancer
This is for anyone who has lost somone to cancer. I lost my adopted Mom to breast cancer some years ago. She was everything I could have asked for. She loved me because I was just me. She also loved my family and children as if they were her own.See More

Thinking about you.
Praying you find peace,
Jodi
It's been a little over 2 weeks since my son died and I am feeling a little better but the nights are so hard for me. We used to watch a show or a movie before we went to bed and now there is nothing but quiet and I hate it and I dont know what to do with myself now.You are lucky that you have other children to make you happy and help you heal. Try to let go of the guilt that you werent there, I believe that it would have happened anyway because we all have a time to go no matter where we are or what we are doing. At the time my son lay dying I had just turned out my lights to go to bed..hows that for guilt?..it will drive us crazy if we let it..just try to think of the beautiful day that we will be with our children again instead if you can.
What a lovely girl your daughter is. I know you miss her alot and it is a hole that can never be filled, at least thats how it feels to me,like there is a hole where my heart used to be. Please pray that my son Jesse be let into the kingdom of heaven. I will pray for you and your daughter as well although your daughter looks like an angel already.
I am sad to hear about your daughter and hope that you can find a way to lessen the pain, what is working for me if finding out who my son was when he wasnt with me. Any time you would like to talk you can reach me at JSLD68@aol.com
