Crystal,
I feel for you today, that quote is powerful.
I don’t agree when people say everything happens for a reason. Why do horrific things happen? What is the reason for cancer and disease, especially when it happens to the best people and they did nothing to cause or deserve it. In fact, they did everything to prevent it.
Douglass, I am with you on so many levels. I have not lived up to my potential, and at this point I am not sure that I will. When life kicks you in the teeth it's hard to get back up. I don't have the child like faith I once did. Now I imagine more ways that things will go wrong than I do ways that things will go right. That has so much to do with losing my mom. I saw the worst happen.
I certainly love God but the problem I have is this... when I needed my mom all I had to do was talk to her face to face. We can't do that with God. We pray and we hope that our prayers will be answered. We are told that in the end God will wipe all of our tears away, but in this life it's our faith that gets us through. Jesus isn't going to appear in front of me and tell me that everything is going to be okay. I have to have faith and look for God's hand in other areas of my life. That's hard to do when you have been wounded so badly.
Bluebell, seems that you have faced lot of losses and still stand strong.
I wish lot of peace for you on this earth and for your family members in heaven.
The earth is a safe place because there is no alternative. I wish peace for me as well and hope I overcome my guilt.
Douglas I have similar feelings as you have.
I do not think my parents would be very proud of me. I worry too much and I do not have faith and the child like belief that everything will be alright. I wish I had them of my parents back both back. My Mom would have been 100 yrs old in June and my Dad 111 yrs old July 22nd. My ex husband had a severe stroke at age 39 yrs old. I have no doubt he has passed on too. My sister's husband passed away suddenly in April of this year. So many losses and it is hard to deal with. I pray they are all at peace. I would not mind having some peace on earth for myself. I would not mind feeling that this world is a safe place again.

I am posting that not only because I agree with it and believe it, but I feel that I read this today at this time because I needed to.
Lately, I have been missing my parents SO MUCH! I need them more so much! I keep trying to think just what they would say to me and what they would want me to do! I have been having so many challenges in my life and I am very depressed. I thank God for EVERYTHING and EVERYONE that He has blessed me with and I count my blessings everyday. Yet, I just need them so much! My Dad has been gone for 23 years and my Mom has been gone for 8 years. It STILL affects me!
I tried SO much to tell my parents everything that I ever wanted to tell them, ask them about and ask them for forgiveness for. I just feel that I have not lived up to their prayers, hopes and expectations; especially after all they did for me throughout my life. I am feel that I have not lived up to my potential and not lived my dreams. I just would love to be able to know how they feel about where I am in life.
I want you to get better so that you can dye your hair blue and go back to wearing cat glasses, be the true Bluebell again.
I believe that what Theresa wrote is true, that God is never so close to us as when we are brokenhearted, but there is a veil, and sometimes we just feel very alone. Losing your mom is horrible.
