I felt like we needed to give you a little extra love darlin ...
Some of us did not have the pleasure of knowing you this time last year ... some of us now know what a life altering day October 29, 2009 was for you.
We see you in chat putting smiles on peoples faces including our own. We see you get someone in 'check' with the most efficent of skills. We see you post and share some interesting things on the PQ blog from fact to fantasy.
I consider myself very fortunate in calling you 'friend' ...
Most of us have had the pain of a loss in our hearts. I understand that yours, by losing a spouse, is only shadowed by losing a child.
Physically, I can't take away the sadness ... I believe it is a normal and necessary process we are entitled to.
But ... on the inside ... where you hold me as a friend ... in that huge mending TEXAS heart ... you let me help you smile. We are not an instant fix ... wish we were ... but we're here ...
Hugs you real tight sweetheart ...
Scott.Lee
Not much I can add to that.....I agree with all my heart. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine what you are going through, everyone says time takes the pain away and I know it dims a bit over time, but I can only think that there are certain days when it is fresh all over again... huggsssss you tight, and know your friends here are there for you.. You helped me a lot when my Nanny passed a month ago, and I'll probably lean very heavily on you guys in the months to come, with the Holidays closing in... I don't think anyone can understand what you are going through, unless they have experienced it, themselves.... But we can all empathize and try our damndest to bring a smile to your face and put one in your heart... Thinking of you on this day.. huggssss my friend.. love and thinking of you..
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much, shes an amazing lady, its going to be an incredibly tough day, but in true Jade style, she'll make her way through this day also. I want to thank you all for your friendship and support of her on this anniversary
ReplyDeleteI'm overwhelmed. Scottie...how incredibly sweet of you to make such a beautiful post. I am smiling...through tears, but I'm smiling. Thank you. From the bottom of that TEXAS heart, thank you for being so considerate. I'm fortunate to have you as a friend, to have all of you as friends...
ReplyDeleteDreambaby, Traybug...thank you for your kind words and support. I can't tell you what they mean to me. Y'all are special ladies.
Mid, darlin'...I love you. I'm so glad you're in my life.
This time a year ago I was numb. I had no clue just how radically my life had just changed, or would continue to change. I want to say that October 29 is just another day, but it's not, and probably never will be again.
However, I've been blessed with friends like y'all, and I have an incredible family, so I always have people to lean on when I need them. That's been tough to learn to do, but I'm getting there. Thank you all for your support and your friendship.
Jade,
ReplyDeleteI don't know you or anyone in chat that well, yet, but I have lost people I have loved and as you are finding out time helps but does not heal completely. You will be in my thoughts today and I wish you well.

Sue/Cussie...first of all, welcome to PQ Faze 2. And second, thank you for your kind words and good wishes. I appreciate them very much.
ReplyDeleteJade,
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to find words of comfort when I know your heart is so heavy, but I found this poem for you I hope you like it...
"I give you this thought to keep...
I am with you, I do not sleep....
I am a thousand winds that blow...
I am the dimond glints on the snow..
I am the sun light on a ripened grain...
I am the gentle autumn rain..
When you awaken in the mornings hush...
I am that sweet uplifting rush..
of quiet eagles in circle flight..
I am the soft stars that shine at night..
Do not think of me as gone .
I am with you still in each new dawn
I hope you liked it my thoughts and prayers are with you Jade..
Walk in the light and peace will follow..
Thank you, Anonymous. I appreciate you making the effort to comment, and the poem is lovely. I just wish I knew who you were so I could be more personal in expressing that appreciation. Still, thank you for the prayers. They're always welcome.
ReplyDeleteJade, I read Scott's post this morning, but was on my way out. I have thought of you today..the way you make me smile and make me laugh. On this day I wish there was something I could give back to you...hugs, special thoughts and my prayer that as time goes on, the pain will lesson if only a bit...Trish.
ReplyDeleteyou made me think of that song by Kansas Jade, that part where they sing "I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone.."
ReplyDeletei don't know why things happen as they do. hugs and love.
Jentle, thank you so much for your comment, thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteSherry, Dust in the Wind is one of my favorite songs, and it's entirely too apt.
Thank you again everyone for your kindness, your thoughts, your prayers, You helped make a painful day bearable, and make continuing to heal and move on with my life easier. Blessings to you all.
~Hug~ Just know you're in my prayers.
