I'm sitting here...barely able to type or see the screen for all the tears running down my face. I know exactly what you mean when you say your sad for what will never be. <BR/>Losing my grandma is hard...but losing a parent. That's a whole nother ballgame. One I hope to never have to deal with. It hurts for me to lose my grandma...but my mom...she just lost her mom. Her mommy. Her "mama" as she called her. That breaks my heart.<BR/>I am so sorry that you lost your dad this way. So many things that he is going to miss out on. Knowing your girls...seeing them graduate, coming to their weddings, meeting their children. It's sad and I wish there was some way that death didn't have to be a part of life. <BR/>One thing that I can't stop thinking...just imagine how people must feel when they lose a loved one who was NOT saved? I can't even attempt to imagine the despair and sadness in that. Praise God that our families are saved! (and the rest of the ones who aren't--will be in Jesus' name!)<BR/>You are an amazing friend and the more time that passes, the more I am convinced that God placed in each others lives for such a time as this. Who'd have thought...back when we made that plan to meet at McDonalds and then had to cancel..that we would finally meet up and become such close buddies? (and our hubbies..AND our kids!?) God did. He knew. and for that...I just have to say Thank You Lord! I think we've been there for each other at some very important intersections in our lives...and I hope there are many more (happy) ones to come! <BR/>Love you!<BR/>Gee whiz, am I sappy today or what? :o)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10038454792972449216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8295625662996029297.post-55653169679833911092008-09-13T18:08:00.000-05:002008-09-13T18:08:00.000-05:00Hi Rachael,Not sure if you remember me or not but ...Hi Rachael,<BR/><BR/>Not sure if you remember me or not but I met you in our School of the Bible class at Rhema oh about 5 years ago or so. I have seen you on Jen's blog and have been checking yours out for a while now. I enjoy it! I love the pink!! <BR/><BR/>This post really touched me. I love the healthy balance you have in seperating your Dad from his addiction. And you have an INCREDIBLE point about the commercials. I agree with you 100% about showing the "real" effects that stuff can have on a family. <BR/><BR/>I'm sorry about your Dad. I'll be thinking and praying for you and your family. <BR/><BR/>~TeresaTeresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11555454394837219749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8295625662996029297.post-17253493928343264222008-09-11T10:16:00.000-05:002008-09-11T10:16:00.000-05:00Very moving and all very true, I could not have sa...Very moving and all very true, I could not have said it better! I am still in shock myself and am seeing a therapist twice a month hoping to make since of it all....we shall see!!<BR/>Love you and we all do the best we can and I truly feel daddy did the best he knew how.<BR/>I love you and are so proud of the strong, courageous, mother you are and have become. <BR/>Love ~ KKKbroadwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364294074296645937noreply@blogger.com
